0.4% chance of catching it twice according to the official data, seems to be plenty on here though :?
Can show you my two positive PCR emails from the government if you want mate. One from 2020 and one from 2021.

It's almost as if a very small percentage of a very very big number is a big number.

The thread's had a couple of thousand views. If everyone who we'd expect to have had it twice posted - and they won't have - then that would already be 8. Obviously it's not 2,000 different readers but generally, the 0.4% figure and the three or four people posting they've had it twice doesn't seem too outlandish.

I imagine loads have had it twice and not noticed. I had Covid last year before it sold out and went mainstream and it was like a mild cold. Now I've got the antibodies plus 3 jabs, I doubt I'd realise the next time.

Started with symptoms yesterday but tested negative.

Had all the symptoms overnight (cough, fever, headache) but feel pretty much back to normal now. Just tested positive though this morning.

So Christmas is cancelled in the Goddy household - drat.

Always knew I was special 😂.

As another poster has mentioned, it is a lot milder this time, maybe because of vaccinations or having it twice, possibly because it's Omicron. Whichever it is I have not had the breathing difficulties this time.

It's even less if you are double jabbed.

To catch it once is unfortunate.
Catching it twice must mean you're a bunch of feckless wasters 😀

I'm such a piece of **** for working with vulnerable kids in a special education setting. ;)

Sound like humourless virtue signaller to me.
Go and read some Oscar Wilde. You might get the reference then.

I think I am becoming a recluse too, based on my 3 drives to non existent Burnley matches, which were hours spend, entirely alone in my car!
Best way to be, value the peace & quiet.

Ah well - look at the positives.

Might get away with having to eat some sprouts.
