At dinner time today I chatted with one of my friends via Wechat, an instant chatting software that commonly used in our country. She told me that she got covid again, which is very bad to her. She hasn't been back to work these days and has been working at home for some days.
She caught covid before the New Year, and had almost recovered when her husband came home from work(He is a police officer and comes back home once a week or so) and he tested positively with symptoms. She was so considerate so she went out to buy some groceries to celebrate New Year. About 2 or 3 days later she felt fatigue and headache, then she realized she had covid again. And test results showed she was right.
She told me it was because of her chronic diseases that made her covid symptoms severe. She had diabetes, heart disease and some other illness. One day she was cooking and suddenly she felt she couldn't stand anymore and a rapid heart beating. Then she lay down and fortunately her husband was at home and found some pills for her, she said she could have been in a very bad condition without her husband with her.
I got covid about 15 days ago, and I'm not sure whether I will catch another variant later, it is said there will be many different variants during the Spring Festival, the biggest festival throughout the year. Hopefully we'll be all healthy.
How many times have you got covid? What are the symptoms like?
Do you have any good advice?
Have a good day!

Hi Judy, that's really a good way to protect you and your family! It is reported that there were mass deaths in your western countries but I'm not sure of it. Glad that your family are healthy!

@JudyEv I think that might because there are not that many people in your country with the density of population not too big. We have a dense population which leads to a spike of cases. Nearly all people around me tested positive and almost everyone has symptoms of fever, cough, muscles pains and a loss of taste. My symptoms are not as severe as others', I all the way could taste everything, but today I'm under the weather hopefully I'm nust tired and will cheer up this afternoon.

@maggiesunjuan There were a lot of deaths but I don't think we had any more than any other country. We certainly didn't have as many as America did.

I never have Covid before and after vaccination.
I always keep a distance of about 2 meters during the pandemic and I never forget my mask when I go somewhere.
My country no longer carries out restrictions because Covid here is already weak and deaths have also been 0 due to Covid for a full year.

Great! Self- awareness and protection are really important. Glad to know that life in your country has been normal.

Those who have had vaccines get it more often but a milder version.

I'm not sure of this. I think in my area most people may have got the same variant but different symptoms.

I never had it. But my mother had it before Covid was a pandemic and recently she thought she had a month ago, but she took one of the home tests and it was negative.

If your mother had covid before it was a covid, then how do you figure out that it was covid? I don't mean to offense, just because of curiosity…

@JESSY3236 So that was maybe November 2019? That was weird. There were mass cases in January 2020.

@maggiesunjuan my mother is a painter. Before Covid was a pandemic, she was working at a hotel in the city. She and her co-worker got really sick. She did go to a doctor who said she didn't have the flu. She was really tired and was coughing and sneezing. She did lose her sense of taste and smell. Two months later is when Covid hit everywhere.

I just read your self-introduction on your profile, you are so talented! Nice sketch it is!
Well, I am surprised to know that you guys who responded me all get nothing related to covid. How come you avoid of catching it for so long a time since 2020?
You needn't answer the question if you don't like it.

Lucky you! It is reported that there were surges of covid cases in your country where Delta came from, but I can't tell if it was true…
