Highly, highly improbable. It's possible that Elle MacPherson would go out with this 61 year old, married man. But that happening is highly, highly improbable.Small but possible
great info and insights. Cheers.I had it in September. I've read a ton, had discussions with immunologists. There is no reason to think you can get reinfected within at least 9 months (only been going on for 9 months, so can't go out further than that). Easiest way to put this is that with 50 million people having recovered from it world-wide, if you could get it twice within 9 months or less, we would be seeing 10s of thousands of people reporting that. And we all know the press would be going crazy with it. You are not hearing that. An occasional story, but most often involves people (1) with false positives, (2) never got over it, or (3) work in an environment where they are subjected to it all day long.
I continue to mask and distance out of respect for my friends, family and neighbors. But, I did go to the MSU game, and flew recently, both things I likely would not have done had I not already had it. Here is a more detailed post that I made a few weeks ago.

... Elle MacPherson...
She would be age appropriate. But Mrs. LawDawg86 would not approve.Damn.... you ARE old....
No definitive/consistant pattern. Several strains identified. Like the Virus' effect on people ,there's no consistent answer.. Have "boots on the ground" at Emory/CDC and MCG Infectious Disease Immunolgy ,A LOTTA variables that defy patterns.Read/heed the CDC/NIH/Hopkins websites .Also ck those sites for info on "long haulers" per Covid. Symptoms can persist for long periods.,even after the Virus technically has abated. Symptoms can wax/wain over long periods.The jury seems to be out on the matter.

My 62-year-old father got it twice within a two month period between infections. He had it very bad both times and had to be hospitalized. Both events were so bad he felt the need to write goodbye letters to all of us.The jury seems to be out on the matter.

This. We've all heard stories of "my cousin's, neighbor's, sister's best friend got it twice", but in reality, she didn't get it twice. Like @LawDawg86 said, the virus hasn't been around long enough to know how long immunity lasts, and we don't know how the virus will mutate. Hopefully we wipe this out with the current vaccines. I still wear masks when in public, primarily because it is required in most places, but also out of respect for others, but I don't fear getting it again.I had it in September.

I heard from a guy yesterday that has had it twice - said first time was pretty bad back in summer - this past time just a 2 day severe headache - but he and his wife got confirmed test both timesThe jury seems to be out on the matter.
This. Follow the scientists. No consensus on how long immunity lasts nor how antibodies react to different strains. It just hasn’t been around long enough to make definitive answers at this point.No definitive/consistant pattern. Several strains identified. Like the Virus' effect on people ,there's no consistent answer.. Have "boots on the ground" at Emory/CDC and MCG Infectious Disease Immunolgy ,A LOTTA variables that defy patterns.Read/heed the CDC/NIH/Hopkins websites .Also ck those sites for info on "long haulers" per Covid.

I have a friend that's been infected 3 times with it since spring. The antibodies do not last long.The jury seems to be out on the matter.

There have been a couple documented cases, but my understanding is it’s impossible for upto 6 months, and if it did happen symptoms would be milder the 2nd time around.The jury seems to be out on the matter.
Ill take the opposite stance.With all due respect, I’m going to suggest that there isn’t a single person on the planet who has been infected three separate times.
Given how this has been covered in the press, do you think there is any chance that a person having been infected three separate times wouldn’t have been a week-long story on all the networks?
As I've mentioned before, I'm not a doctor, but I work with a very large group of emergency physicians & hospitalists. We had an internal Zoom yesterday that touched directly on some of these questions, as well as the vaccines.
- Yes, you can get Covid more than once, but is still extremely rare & not that likely. This despite the fact that apparently half the board knows someone who's sister's coworker had had it 2 or 3 times already!
- What we are typically seeing is that antibodies last longer in people that had more severe cases of Covid. So if you had it but were asymptomatic or had very mild, brief symptoms, your antibodies typically don't last as long as someone who had it bad, for a prolonged period of time.
- The vaccines will be more effective in preventing infection (or re-infection) that the antibodies your body would produce after having Covid, even if you had a severe case. So everyone who can get vaccinated really should, and preferably as soon as you can.
Ill take the opposite stance.
With a population into the tens/hundreds of millions, I’m confident at least one person has been infected three times.
Now, has that person been documented or studied...probably not. We also shouldn’t give too much concern to outliers because just because it’s possible doesn’t make it probable.

Again, there is an incredible amount of disinformation here. The number of actual documented reinfections in the US you could count on your fingers.With all due respect, I’m going to suggest that there isn’t a single person on the planet who has been infected three separate times.

The Communist Chinese lab manufactured Covid virus was released on the world population over a year ago...
Damn.... you ARE old....
I can tell you first hand it is possible to get the virus twice.This. We've all heard stories of "my cousin's, neighbor's, sister's best friend go it twice", but in reality, she didn't get it twice. Like @LawDawg86 said, the virus hasn't been around long enough to know how long immunity lasts, and we don't know how the virus will mutate. Hopefully we wipe this out with the current vaccines.

The flu mutates annually so antibody protection from last years strain may not work this or next year. There are literally a dozen different flu strains floating around each year and the annual shot only covers what is believed to be the most virulent / dangerous strains that season. This is why when you hear folks say they got sick but also had a shot they likely had an off-brand strain. Know one knows yet if COVID will act similar.Have you had the flu before? Did you get it again?
Again, there is an incredible amount of disinformation here. The number of actual documented reinfections in the US you could count on your fingers.
For an extremely small percentage of the population, there are already more to count than fingers on this thread alone. I also have a 17 year old healthy nephew living in Athens area just tested positive for 2nd infection. First was right at 3 months ago. Seems to have gotten different strand this time according to doc. Misinformation being stated in your message Maitland.
I think he's referring to documented cases of re-infection, not "I know someone who had it twice."
