They say if you catch Covid you are naturally immune, not true. Cos you can keep catching it. Different strains.

People often talk abt how mild the symptoms are if you catch it, they are the lucky ones. There are still many that end up living with long covid 18 mths later, they dun report those too much...
The organisation I work in hires a lot of offshore staff in India. During the Delta wave there earlier this year, there were a few of them who had family members that died from it.
Now I no longer hear any of that news. What other reason than the high vaccination rates in India now compared to back then?
Getting infected with or without the Vax is like gambling with loaded or unloaded dice. It's still a bit of a punt, but at least it gives you an upper hand.
