Have you been infected with COVID-19 multiple times? | ABC

🔹Immunology experts say contracting COVID multiple times is a sign there could be a problem with the immune system.

🔹Researchers have found the more times you're infected the higher chance you have of developing long COVID or other chronic health conditions.

🔹Those at risk are urged to be up to date with their booster vaccinations.

"Getting COVID-19 multiple times means either you're exposed to it a fair bit and you're not as diligent protecting yourself, or there might be something wrong with your ability to fight infections," Professor Faux said

@Susan60 @MyView @DenisCOVIDinfoguy @auscovid19 Legislating a health and safety requirement for "clean indoor air" and carefully enforcing it would go a long way to helping - especially in schools. But that would cost actual Governments money, so 🤷.

Relevant to schools starting up soon is a new report on K-12 2° transmission. It is low (~2-3%), but significantly reduced w/masks (by 88%), vaccination (by 96%), increased 2.5 fold in classroom vs out-of-classroom

So the most contagious disease circulating doesn't really spread in schools?!

This is hard to believe, as it flies in the face of everything else (colds, flus, rotaviruses) that spread in schools.
