Of course. People get a 2nd bout of flus a lot.

 

You would need to get it twice for immunity above 90%.

 

Getting sick twice sucks whatever it is.

You claim that someone getting the virus will then be immune, where did you find that info?

Only last week, there was a news report about a Chinese lady, who got the virus a second time.

Right here:

 

Prof Jon Cohen, emeritus professor of infectious diseases at Brighton and Sussex Medical School, said:

“However, it is very likely, based on other viral infections, that yes, once a person has had the infection they will generally be immune and won’t get it again. There will always be the odd exception, but that is certainly a reasonable expectation.”

The reinfections are an exception to the rule of immunity.

1 or 2 examples out of 400,000 cases, i wouldn't worry about it, not 100% proved anyway

You will be 100% immune, maybe forever, maybe for a limited time, but you will be immune. Unless you're an unfortunate exception.

 

It might damage your lungs if you're one of the relatively small number who die. If you survive you may not damage your lungs in a serious way.

 

Of course you're right, it's better to get it for the individual when a treatment is available. The odds that you can choose the timing are exceptionally small though. It will get you one way or the other. You may already have it and not know it.

100% where do u get this from?

 

People have already had it twice. Some have reported lung damage.

 

I will give it a miss if I can or wait til august.

I understand. Though if you do get it, she will be the one to nurse you. If it gets serious maybe she'll be asked if the medics should switch the machine off. Maybe not a bad idea to be nice to her.

Ouch !

Just grab your Thai lady after she's been to the wet market and make passionate love to her. You'll be rewarded in many beautiful ways. And we will all benefit. What's a little cold? You want to live forever?
