Covid permanently harms immune system, repeat infections increase damage

It's a strange hill to die on, but okay.

If I thought thought those numbers were even remotely realistic, I would take action. There's no reason to believe that getting Covid-19 repeatedly is any worse than getting any other non-novel coronavirus repeatedly. We've lived with the other common coronaviruses for quite some time now. The only reason it was so dangerous in the first place is that we didn't have any existing immunity when it started.

NP, and I’m not really wedded to convincing you, but it’s very easy to look to direct medical sources that say otherwise. Making the comment that you just did makes me think that you don’t follow this very closely, which is of course your choice, but it is an uninformed opinion.

+1 We only have a few years of evidence, but there is a lot of evidence that covid causes lasting damage to some people. The metabolic stuff is the most interesting/scary to me.

Show me the studies that have looked at the impact of the “normal” coronaviruses vs Covid 19, esp since vaccines. Plus all of the studies about covid 19 causing long term immunity issues are all very flawed.

If I thought masks would do what you seem to think they do, I’d mask too. But since they don’t…

DCUM is such a strange world. People here are in complete denial that a lot of transmission is inevitable. Not all of it, but most of it.

We all mask and we haven't gotten it yet as far as we can tell. And the kids at school who don't mask generally have gotten it. And my friends at work who stopped masking have gotten it, some are on round 3 by now. I may get it eventually, but I'm hoping not to get it 4 times in the next 4 years, and hopefully give my immunity system a break. DCUM is such a strange world, where shrugging is better than masking because infection can't be prevented, even though people who mask are preventing it, but I guess some people have just been fed the story that masks are awful and they won't question it.

Masks can stop infection and they can also decrease the dose you're exposed to even if you do get infected. That's a win-win from where I'm standing but for some weird reason some people see masks as an enemy rather than a tool.

If you’re right you have data, not anecdotes. The data for kid masking is bad.

To some people, yes of course. Mostly people who were very sick. To all people, no. That’s not real life. Do you guys really believe Covid is going to take 20-40 years off the lives of people who get it?!

I'm not saying it's going to happen to everyone the first time they get it. Or the second time. But if you keep playing the stupid covid lottery, you are probably going to win stupid covid prizes sooner or later.

Don’t be ridiculous. But the people who say it’s exactly like the common cold are also ridiculous. We don’t know yet what kind of real-world consequences there might be, if any, and what populations might be affected. But there is no doubt that covid is causing unexpected and persistent changes in different organ systems for some people.

Oh my goodness you're completely bonkers. I say that as someone who thinks that masks reduce transmission.

Our family has been sick so much in the past few months. My son's out of school with a fever for 3 days every 3-4 weeks since school started. The doc just gave him some lab test looking for a dozen different illnesses/bacteria and he was found to have had "in the recent past" flu A, flu B, mono and 2 bacterial infections... ironically no covid. He's never tested positive for covid. My husband, daughter, granddaughter and myself have had cold after cold after cold. There's definitely something up with our immune systems. I am the only one that's tested positive for covid.

So, how do we stop most of the transmission?

And yet, we mask with N95s and are the healthiest weve been in years.

This is probably going to sound harsher than intended, but Covid may represent a course correction in human life expectancy. With modern medicine, we are living to unnaturally old ages (not always with a great quality of life either). It can't go on forever.
