 | This may be a detour, but sadly it appears that mild cases don't generate the same immune response and protection against future infection. |

 I had a PCR test the first time, and a rapid test the second time.  Each time, some days had passed -- 3 to 5 -- between the onset of symptoms and the date I was able to get tested.  So there was time for the symptoms to diminish. Symptoms didn't seem like typical covid:  fatigue, runny nose, extremely dry eyes, imperceptible fever, slight sore spot in throat. --------------------------------

 Pfizer and its partner BioNTech announced the study on Tuesday.

Researchers will examine the tweaked vaccine’s safety and how it revs up the immune system in comparison to the original shots.
