We don’t know how long a person’s protected from reinfection after a visit from COVID. Anecdotally a friend dealt with two infections 5 months apart prior to vaccine availability.
His second bout was worse than the first and is still dealing with long term symptoms.

My fear is that people infected last winter, being told by pop culture/political leaders that “natural” infection is more protective than a vaccine, will be susceptible again in coming months risking worse disease than they previously experienced.
Can we survive another surge?

My second concern is the nagging thought that we might not be missing as many cases as believed. It’s estimated we test confirm 1/5th to 1/10th of infections in America. What if it’s actually lower and not nearly as many people have immune systems primed for COVID?
I know both of these fears shouldn’t apply to a person like myself who is vaccinated and still practices lifestyle changes, but I can’t help but be effected by thousands of deaths and tens of thousands of people beginning a long journey of disease every single day.
I’m over it.
