Avoid COVID Reinfections

"But there is also growing evidence that in some people, getting COVID-19 the first time may compromise the immune response in a way that makes the body less likely to respond effectively the next time it sees the virus. That could leave certain organs and body systems, such as the brain, weaker for months after infection—and subsequent ones."

“Each time you get hit, it does impact your body, so let’s try not to get it too many times,” says Smith."

"Data also continue to show that even vaccinated people can get Long COVID—although the risk may be lower—since the protection provided by vaccines wanes over time, just as it does from infections. Vaccines are therefore a strong but not absolute barrier to the virus."

"In the meantime, Smith says it’s important for people to understand that they still need to do everything they can to avoid getting COVID-19. That means staying up to date with vaccinations and taking some basic precautions, such as wearing high-quality masks indoors when cases are high, especially in crowded places and on public transportation"

anyways happy pride to all my high risk queers out there, to all my disabled queers for whom events aren't accessible to, to my immunocompromised folks who can't risk attending events where people aren't masked or taking covid precautions! happy pride to my fellow cripqueers that want to be out there fighting and celebrating with their friends and family and can't because it's not safe for them to do so– you're not alone and you deserve to celebrate too. we all do.

Any re-infection with COVID-19 increases health risks

July 7, 2022 – People who become reinfected with the virus that causes COVID-19 face more health risks with each round of reinfection, a large national database survey shows. Researchers saw worse health effects during active infection, but some symptoms lasted as long as 6 months, suggesting a direct link between reinfection and long-term COVID. “Re-infection adds or contributes additional…

“The burden of disease and disability from Long COVID, when you measure it, is on par with the burden of cancer and heart disease. Even if people emerge unscathed after having the first infection they can still get long covid after reinfection. Not enough people know this fact. The best way to prevent Long COVID is to prevent COVID in the first place. There is no Long COVID without COVID.”

World-renowned COVID-19 researcher Dr Ziyad Al-Aly, January 2024, Testimony before the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor & Pensions

Because I keep seeing people mention how it's important to get COVID vaccination because it lessens the severity of infections, a reminder: it also prevents infections. Not 100% of them. But vaccination makes you less likely to get infected, particularly with the strain you were vaccinated for. So, when you get the newest COVID vaccination, it's really good at preventing infection with the XBB.1.5 Omicron subvariant, and almost as good at preventing infection with closely related strains. It becomes less effective at prevention the more a strain differs from XBB.1.5, but can still reduce the rate of infection, and it's still good at lessening the severity of disease.

So, if you get vaccinated, you are less likely to get infected with COVID-19. That's prevention!

So Ferry got a SUPER positive Covid result and mine was inconclusive but I'm also already showing symptoms about a day behind hers

We both got hit HARD with it waaaay back at the start and I still have Long Covid, so this'll be... good good fun...........
