Anybody heard anything about getting an infection twice?
A friend of mine was ill about a month ago. She recovered and went back to work. Then last week her husband got it and she also got sick again.............
The Health Secretary for the UK, Matt Hancock said on the BBC, last night, that the science on whether people were immune after recovering was "unclear"............
Anyone else have any personal experience or experience of someone you know of getting sick twice?
One can be infected more than once where it comes to virusses. A typical example is the "ordinary" flu. Over the decades I have experienced it several times. At first I was surprised, but indeed virusses can make modifications within themselves. It's not a scientific proof from my part, but the second infection was dealt with more effectively by the body every time (aparently anti bodies also have a kind of intelligence). What I also noticed was that after such a "double" infection I didn't catch the flu for many (6 to 8) years.
Anyone have had similar experiences?

There are many many different strains of flu. So surely each one is unique in it's own way, as is Corona. Not sure if when you 'get flu' you know which strain it is?
What was the opportunity to get ahead of this crisis? The WHO said on February 2,there was no need to shut down borders.Thank God America stopped people from China coming into America.Feb3.The world wasn’t even told till the end of January the virus could be contacted from human to human.This virus most likely came from people eating unsanitary wild animals.Go vegan ,go impossible burger.Where I live in New York Citywe have one of the lowest icu hospital bed per person in America.We need to study countries like Sweden and Norway as to how to run a medical sysQuote

In Canada, I think the federal and provincial governments have done a decent job. Not sure about other countries right now, but in BC we get daily updates from the federal and provincial governments. Everyone is supposed to stay home unless absolutely necessary. In Canada as of today, there have been officially 9005 people who have contracted the virus, 105 have passed and 1253 have recovered. In BC, 1000 have contracted the virus and 24 have passed. On a positive note, 507 have recovered so some good news! Hopefully everyone follows the government orders and stays home and maintains the 2 meter distance when they're out, and wash your hands a lot!

... and in India I hear the police beat you with sticks if you go out of your house during the lockdown ...
Some people simply do not listen. May be it takes a stick or a bullet to understand.

This is a sad story really, but it is telling us all how important it is to stay at home, especially when you are sick.
Bus driver Jason Hargrove spoke to the people of Detroit on video March 21, trying to get them to take the coronavirus pandemic seriously.
He was upset that a woman had taken no measures to cover her coughing when she was on his bus.
"For us to get through this and get over this, y'all need to take this seriously," he said with an expletive thrown in. ... There's folks dying out here."
Four days later Hargrove, 50, got sick. He died Wednesday night. It isn't clear how he got Covid-19.

In India things are not so simple. Many families don't have a home and live in the streets. In what house should they stay? In rural areas houses often have only one room and no toilet and the latrine is somewhere a bit outside the village. I could well imagine that people there are not very fond of the idea of shitting in the corner of their room for the weeks to come. Also, how would food come to your house if there is no delivery service and everybody else has to stay at home? Many people are day labourers earning a handful of rupees each day to feed there families. They have the choice between going out trying to earn a few coins, possibly being beaten up and contracting the virus or starving to death in their shelter. You can't compare India with better-developed countries. Dealing with a highly contagious desease like the CoVid19 in countries like India is not a simple matter.

You're right, even in some parts of the USA, like in Los Angeles there are neighborhoods of homeless people.
What do you say to these people? Only now do we realize them?

I say "may be" ...
In USA people are now buying guns to protect themselves, not just toilet paper, according to reports. In Norway criminals spit into the face of the police while doing illegal acts, claiming they have the virus. They think the police will let them go. Last night the police in Norway had to close down a number of parties at night; we have a limit of five people to meet up, they broke the law.
If you bring on a deadly virus on purpose, during a lockdown, then I think it is perfectly fine for the police to use their sticks if you spit in their face and make a big laugh of them. I do not see any reason for protecting idiots who put other people's life at risk on purpose, just for the fun of it.
Dirty Harry is still one of my favorites, remember.

How is a gun going to help you defeat a virus?

Yeah I understand that.I live in the U.K. so we don’t have guns here but I do agree with the right to defend your family if someone is entering your property then I do believe you should be within your rights to stop them.
