I also got a large sum of colleagues had reinfection with more severe symptoms than their first infection and some even have to be hospitalized. They said Covid-19 has built a house in our body during the first infection and they are in a better position to attack our body during the reinfection. [/quote]

I've heard accounts that go both ways - that reinfection was worse, and reinfection was milder. Can't say that one is more than the other. And overall, few have had a reinfection. And some have still not been infected even once despite moving around and meeting a lot of people.

Most of the reinfection that I know of had milder symptoms and recovered much faster.


Not sure if it is coincidence. I know quite of few of those who recently were infected the 1st time came down with high fever and flu symptoms about 2-3 weeks after recovering from Covid and they say it was worse than when they were down with Covid. Doctors mostly diagnosed them with viral flu this time.

Even so, unless they extrapolate a bit, it may be an undercount. Some people don't go to see a doctor after testing positive.
