I don't get the who thing about perfect races. There is no such thing as a perfect race.

I don't get why people aren't taught how their brains work as part of their standard education.

Government subsidizes the US dairy industry and the surplus produced needs used up somehow.

I don't get whether I have Covid for the second time (back to back), or if it's the same one for five weeks.

I tested positive on 1st September and I was extremely ill.
I continued being positive for 15 days.

I had one negative test on 15 Sept.
I stopped testing because of the negative result.
Now I'm wondering if the negative was a faulty test.

I never stopped coughing up phlegm or having malaise.
I even did ten days of antibiotic, for pneumonia.
In some ways I feel worse than five weeks ago.

I decided to retest myself just now, out of sheer frustration.
I'm POSITIVE again. :(


Questions:

When people have "long Covid" do they continue testing positive?
How do I know if this is one giant Covid instead of two?
Isn't there supposed to be several months between infections?

Would I be contagious now if it's been one big case since September?
I was with my mum for four hours yesterday, thinking I was negative.


Vaccines: Pfizer in April 2021 and June 2021.
No boosters because of my blood clot disorder.

I tested positive for about 15 days but only had symptoms for about four days. I thought it wasn't going away. I think it does stop being contagious after about 7 days though but I'm not 100% sure about that.

It's a weird virus. I don't think enough is really known about it by the experts let alone the laymen.

When I had it I felt as though I had two really bad colds at the same time and it turns out that can actually happen so I don't know if it's the same with covid.

I don't think you would test positive if it was long covid but I'm only going off what I've heard on the news.

I hope you start to improve soon.

I don't get why people post links to 'news' stories on this site without commenting on them. I get why you'd do it if it was something you wanted to talk about, but why just start a thread, post the link and not comment?

I don't get why people have to get so wasted on regular beer when they can drink non-alcoholic beer and not get wasted.

I don't get why it's such a bad thing to be slow.

I don't get why certain western countries are called "individualist" when they want people to all be exactly the same, or treat certain groups of people as if they're all the same.
