Depends how well it sets in I guess. The vaccines give a huge antibody response for a few months before that wanes, giving a higher chance of infection. but the other methods also seem to be working at mounting a resilient response longer than that, which is the good news. They reckon the other coronaviruses infect around 70% of a population every 3 years. That's a lot of acquired immunity the vaccines are trying to make up for in an average 60 year old.

Here's what happened to me.... I'm pretty sure I got CV in early Feb 2020 whilst travelling abroad, had a raging headache and temperature but no cough and at the time I thought it was the flu. Lasted for about 3 days. Got back home and in early April 2020 (during lockdown) I had excruciating arthritic type pain in my hands, elbows and shoulders. Called the GP who suggested that it was a viral infection (that was a "no shit Sherlock" moment for me!). Over the next couple of weeks I had a series of blood tests done and at the request of the GP also had the voluntary CV antibody test.... which came back negative. The GP suggested that might not be unusual as not everyone who succumbs to a virus will create antibodies. Since then I've not had a sniffle, cough, cold or any arthritic pain. Have been out and about in UK/IOM for best part of the last 5 months (in some enclosed areas, bars etc that most would avoid under the circumstances) and so far managed to avoid CV. So it seems my T cells have been doing what they were designed by nature to do. It's all in the T cells, so to speak. And the 2 x vaccines, of course.

TheTeapot Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I'd guess they're probably upset about the 4 deaths over the last week, reacting excitedly to the headline without once again applying any context whatsoever. But that's only a guess. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I see Dudley Butt & others were tweeting Hooper to complain that they weren’t contact traced after being close to a confirmed case even though they had no symptoms etc 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
