1/ I think I had it in Dec 2019—or a progenitor of some kind: same thing lost my smell and taste, felt dreadful for 2-3 weeks, lungs felt wheezy—days of fever: took about a month to get better. I remember in I kept thinking to myself (almost laughing in my head) 'I wonder if..
2/ ...I have Sars' hahahaha SARS! could never be': a few weeks later China announces an outbreak of Sars 2...

I was struggling to breathe but no pulse Oximeter back in those days...so will never know what readings I had.
3/

Whatever that virus—and it was nasty AF—it was nowhere near as infectious as the version that would come to dominate in March 2020.
4/

Nobody else around me caught it and this was over the Xmas period—including being around elderly relatives etc: so obviously all windows closed, heating full blast etc.
5/

At the time, I knew it wasn't flu, because I've had flu before: and I just couldn't pin point it. It was really horrible—due to terrible immune system I'm always the first to get viruses.
6/

I'd imagine those of us with crap immune systems probably understand reinfection better than most—getting the same fucking colds every 3 weeks of the year in winter...

BA2, Covid, China—Shanghai rules out lockdown despite rising cases and pressure from locals to do so as Western fashion giants dependant on Shanghai port for exports demand that they do not do a lockdown.

The REAL reason we don't have lockdowns Image

The fashion industry is 'heavily reliant' on Shanghai port for exports—anything that gets in the way of profit for massive western corporations is, of course, not to be tolerated: Image

Seen that Shingles is trending and they're saying it's because of vaccine side effects? Worth remembering, of course, that Covid INFECTION reactivates latent viruses.
So anybody who had chickenpox may be subject to shingles—especially if they have Covid—though, the phenomenon of a massive wave of Shingles should also be investigated as it maybe some sort of inflammatory response to the virus itself (adult MIS-C)?
One of the many things ignored has been the massive outbreaks of 'chickenpox' reported in schools across the UK for the whole of this year.

1/This should be investigated as this has been reported a lot the last few months—I wonder if Sars 2 has bred with another RNA virus and this the result? Unless isolates are taken of these cases then we don't know what's going on—but it could be Sars 2 heading in a terrible
2/...new direction, and if out turned to be the case would mean possible antigenic drift to the point at which the virus has evolves to from the original Sars 2 that it's a new virus—hence why it wouldn't show up on LFTs and PCRs.

Many has postulated that such cases are in fact flu—I'm sorry but breathing problems is not a common symptom of flu and it's not flu season anymore—further cases of flu tend to limit to less than 1 week during acute phase.

1/ COVID: Reinfections: 31% INCREASED risk of Hospital Admission Says Massive New Study—HUGE 8X INCREASE IN REINFECTIONS when Omicron became dominant

'These data suggest that re-infection with SARS-CoV-2 occurs regularly and can amount to significant population level'
2/ A massive new study by researchers at the University of Michigan has shown the dire consequences of herd immunity delusion—demonstrating using a massive databank of patient records from the U.S. Veterans Administration (VHA)...
