Since the start of Covid OH has had it 3 times and myself twice, some co workers have been off work recently too.
Covid is still around, mild for most so keep up the vaccination.

I've just come out of my second bout of covid. I agree with Paddyanne, this time it was much more severe than the first time. I am fully vaccinated.
As well as the usual flu symptoms I also had sickness and upset stomach, and the cough was worse than the first time.
No idea where it came from. I hardly go out and never to the shops, but it was me that caught it as my husband followed on a few days later.

I had it twice with no symptoms, but now wonder if I suffer with long Covid because of aching legs and pins and needles all over albeit not painful but irritating 🤔

DS has had it four times over the past few years. He's in a very public facing job so probably unavoidable.
I came down with a feverish cold this week and tested myself. It's been so long since I last tested that I had to read the instructions again. Tested negative so just a cold but the first one since before Covid.

DD had covid twice last autumn, both times after travelling for work. Strange how people start getting it after being fully vaccinated when managing to avoid it previously.
SIL and I are the only ones not to have had it at all.

Lots of people have had it twice, my youngest and three of my grandchildren have had it twice and one of my grandkids has had it three times Just like ordinary flu you can get it more than once
However I was with four relatives for a whole weekend they all went down with it and I didn’t so only can presume the latest spring vaccine kept me free
Get well soon

I've been flattened with it for over a week ,much worse than the last bout and I cant shift the cough.The only places I've been in the lead up to it were the supermarket where I still keep a distance and the GP surgery for an ongoing issue.I think thats where I caught it,no masks now in medical facilities s the GP could well have been treating someone who was incubating it or who had it but didn't let on .

Yes my daughter and one grandchild have had it twice, I know quite a few people who have, not for some time though, hope you recover soon.

I have tested positive to covid again and wondered if anyone else has had it twice. It was January this year I went down with it. Poorly for about a week and feels the same now. Yesterday slept on and off all day waking up to cough constantly, have a drink and paracetamol then back to sleep.
Feeling very sorry for myself !
