Getting Corona Virus Twice

Very scary.

A number of people I know, myself included, have been symptom free for 3-4 weeks but are now sick again.

A medical professional begged me to spread the word.

Seems to coincide with some not being immune even while contracting the virus

I have heard this again and again.  Some people are fine for a week and get the symptoms again, others like you for 3-4 weeks.  A doctor told me that he has seen people symptom-free for a week, get mild symptoms, symptom-free for another week, get mild symptoms, symptom-free for another week, then get HIGH FEVER all of a sudden!

Since this is most likely a man-made virus (yes, I believe that the lab in Wuhan, from where the zero patient came, mistakenly let loose the virus they were manufacturing and manipulating), it is harder to rely on previous patterns of "normal" flu or corona viruses.  On the other hand, we also have the "normal" chicken pox that can remain dormant for a lifetime and then wake up in a different from as shingles.  Yes, I believe we are in for a ride with this one!

Given the low accuracy of tests, you'd have to test negative twice to even raise an eyebrow.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

My daughter tells me she had someone test negative 4 times yet tested positive for antibodies! :o

No, I didn't. But I was feeling fine for 3-4 weeks.
My new symptoms are severe muscle pain in the neck and back, fever with chills, dry cough, & odd feeling in the lungs.
I got tested today. I didn't get the results yet.

In the article I linked to, the person tested negative twice and still got it again (or it never fully left).

The more I hear about the varied symptoms the more inclined I am to believe it is man-made.

Even more strange and scary is that I didn't leave my house at all for weeks to have contracted the virus from someone else.
So, either it can go dormant for a while and then flare up again or the exact strain can be caught again from close family members.
And like I wrote, I know others too that were home and have symptoms again (some severely).

Weakness and flu-type feeling was worse the first time but now I have severe muscle pain.
Btw, two people today told me they too are having severe muscle pain.
Really strange virus.

Please talk to your doctor to have your bloods drawn ASAP and check D-Dimer levels. You may have blood clots that manifest as severe muscle pain. You can have DVT that can travel to lungs and brain chas V'Shalom. 81mg Aspirin as short term safety measure to thin bloods until bloods come back.

Very scary.

A number of people I know, myself included, have been symptom free for 3-4 weeks but are now sick again.

A medical professional begged me to spread the word.
I have 2 friends who had babies in the last week, with almost identical stories, one in Lakewood and one in Brooklyn.

Wives had real symptoms the week after Purim, and got tested at their OBs as they were close to their 9th month. Both indeed tested positive (one spent 2 nights in the hospital for breathing issues). Within 2 weeks all symptoms went away for both of them, and one of them completely stopped being careful (because “I already had it”).

They both were tested as they checked in to the hospital this week to have their babies. Both tested positive.

PS: One of my friends (no symptoms until now, never tested) started having a cough and some breathing trouble this week.

That can be explained by them having had it much earlier, and gone away

It’s pretty worrisome if some infected people can’t seem to kick it. Makes understanding the condition and proper treatment a priority.
