I had a bad case of covid pneumonia in January of this year, will my natural antibodies be enough to keep me from getting it again or do you recommend me getting vaccinated? I've been on the fence about it.

[quote=Ben2]Is there any truth to the statement many have heard, that the covid test used last year could not differentiate between the flu and covid and therefore is no longer recommended for use? In the last 18 months I personally have only seen one patient with influenza. Masks and social distancing in combination with flu vaccines abd pre existing herd immunity to influenza have killed flu season.[/quote Well, not trying to be disrespectful; but if social distancing and mask have helped eliminate the flu, the same should have worked for covid. Same amount of people were practicing or not practicing these things and the covid stayed and flu disappeared. I find that analogy hard to believe. As for the Flu vaccine, we all that’s a shot in the dark if it works or not pending the strain for that is going around. I’m not WillyB, but I don’t think comparing Flu and Covid can really be done. Flu and all it’s variants have been around for thousands of years. There is a natural immunity built into the general population and with Covid, it just simply don’t exist. Covid is not a variant of the Flu. It’s a completely different virus and seems to be WAY more infectious. It’s certainly plausible that social distancing and masks cut back on Flu transmission, while a new virus that humans have not been exposed to before 2019 runs rampant.

But still a virus and transmitted the same way. That’s my point. I understand the immunity of the flu; but if we have that much immunity, why the 10s of thousands of cases annually except recently. Y’all are probably right. Stil makes no sense.

Y’all are probably right. Stil makes no sense. it's not 10's of thousands annually. It is 10's of MILLIONS of flu cases annually, most years it runs 35-40 million cases and 40,000-60,000 flu deaths each year, and wearing a mask and washing hands took it to almost zero in 2020? I'm not buying it either.

I've been on the fence about it. I’m no doctor but I would say getting Covid is the best thing to fight against it.. much better than any shot

This may have already been asked. I didn’t want to read 10’pages. Is there any new research on why one dies and another has none or mild symptoms? Is there any correlation in blood type , vitamin D and any others???

It will likely never see the light of day, but I'd be a years salary this virus was genetically designed (or attempted to design) to affect certain DNA types and this was a dry run. It's probably being tweaked now for rounds 2 and 3. I know a perfectly healty 59 year old that died last weekend and an 87 yo that barely had any symptoms. There is a DNA component that's just not being reported on, is my guess.

It was some receptor or something that they looked at when one was bitten by a venomous snake. They were looking for this in dead covid patients and sure enough, it was high in everyone of them (so far). I will see if I can find the article.
