I haven't been here for a while, so to give you an update on COVID according to Trev
I am triple dosed and was due to have my 4th at the start of May, but was too busy I was exposed to a COVID positive person Tuesday the week before last, I had minor symptoms on the following Friday and Saturday morning, I had higher symptoms Saturday arvo. Did a RAT Saturday - was negative. Went and got a PCR Sunday morning Did another RAT Monday - negative Did anther RAT Tuesday morning - negative Got contacted by the hospital before lunch Tuesday to say my PCR test was faulty and that I needed to go and get another PCR which I did just after lunch Tuesday. Got my results back less than 11 hours later to say I was positive, so instead of being in isolation from last Sunday, my Iso period started Wednesday - so am out of Iso at midnight tonight I felt it was a cross between a mid range cold and a flu, it had all the aches and pains of a flu - I am feeling alright now except I am a bit fatigued and have a mild headache

Good result, everything considered. It ironed me flat for about three days at the beginning of January.

We've had a virus go through the house over the past two weeks with symptoms including headaches, sore throat, runny nose, cough.
I was sure it was Covid and as my Daughter had it too she said it felt exactly like it did when she had Covid in December. As my Wife works in aged care she has an endless supply of RAT's and tests herself daily as a work requirement, we've all been testing throughout our illness and all received negative results thus far. This morning my Wife tested as usual and returned a positive result and has now undergone a PCR in line with SA Health regulations. We all immediately did RAT's which came back negative but due to having cold and flu like symptoms already existing, as a close contact, I've also had a PCR done this morning with results for both of us due in 24-48hrs. |

So stuff this I thought, go get myself a PCR test yesterday and confirmed as positive that night. And yes, feels like a chest cough cold/flu type virus, been in bed two days now.

My Wife got her PCR results back yesterday to confirm her positive RAT, I got my PCR result back to confirm my negative RAT. A bit of consistency there which is good. I registered myself and 2 kids as close contacts with SA health and collected the 5 RAT's each that they supply for the ongoing testing throughout the week, so far all negatives. |

Haven't been keeping up with this thread much in the past 6 months so excuse me if this has been discussed, but has anyone tested positive for Covid a second time yet?
If yes, is there any difference between infections in terms of symptoms or severity? |

I tune in here everyday and cant recall any contributor to the thread claiming they have had Covid twice. I know of only 1 person in southern subs of Adelaide testing +ve twice. Second time the symptoms were enough for her to think she had it again and get a test but mild compared to first time. |

My youngest son (27yo) caught Covid 3-4 weeks ago. Felt ok after a week, tested negative and went back to work. He has just spent 4 days in the Sunshine Coast University Hospital being tested as he became quite crook. Apparently he now has Pericarditis and Myocarditis from it. The specialist reckons he probably went back to work and did too much too soon. He's now on meds for 6-12 months and has to have regular check ups.

My anti vax friend got it twice. First was worse than the second. She thinks first was delta, and second was ominicron. I don't think pcr results tells you what variant you have?

Yes my middle son, first time three months ago pretty mild and two weeks ago spent 4 days feeling pretty crook, body aches, headache and sweats all good now. Seems everyone I talk to either has it or have just got over it.

I've read that catching it gives about 3 months of protection so to contract it again right on the edge of that makes you wonder how many times every year people will get it. Not like the flu thats seasonal and that you catch once a year if that. |

The first time was fairly mild maybe that played a part in second infection. I've been around It a fair bit and so far managed to avoid it, have been lucky so far with lots of close contacts.

Interesting reading the recent comments
I spoke with someone this morning who is on their second dose of the rona - it will be omicron 2 x round as we haven't had anything else here in NZ that I'm aware of?

I think, like any other virus, some people are more prone to catching it than others. Or, alternatively, some people are less prone to getting it. You may just be one of those lucky ones.
