People who’ve had Covid at least 5 times describe how the illness changed with each reinfection

Three people interviewed said their later infections were less severe than their first ones. Even so, getting Covid over and over takes a mental toll.

I've had Covid at least three times. It has never been severe; just an intermittent headache.

I wonder if these Covid infections have ramped up my immune system to new heights. I used to get a sore throat or maybe a cold on flights, and now I don't.

I haven't had a cold since Covid began, although much of that is probably attributable to lockdowns, distancing, masks, and driving instead of taking mass transit.

To my knowledge, I have not yet had covid even once. But since Feb. 2020, I also haven't had so much as a cold or the sniffles either, so I suspect that I truly haven't had covid yet.

I attribute it to a combination of masking, my overall lifestyle (rarely on public transport, avoid crowded restaurants etc.), and a good dose of luck. Well, that and I have been doing all the vaccinations (scheduled for current covid and flu vax this weekend).

We'll see how long this can continue...
