Well if you're curious just how long your immunity will last if you've already had Covid against this newest variant - Just about 3 months. Daughter just tested positive again - barely 3 months after having it. Fun times.

Well booo! I have wondered that exact thing. DH and I just had it in June. I had a mild case but DH had it a bit worse. I have no idea which variant we had, could have been the newest one.

Dh and DS tested positive Thursday and Friday last week. Both are still testing positive today. Dd and I had the vid for Christmas and are good so far. I’ve been sleeping in the office (much to DH’s dismay since he slept in the same bed as me when I had it and doesn’t see why I won’t do the same- uh, don’t want it again because I was super sick VS his “bad cold”?) and we have been spacing out in the house but no one is isolating. Dd and I test daily and no positive yet. Fingers crossed it stays that way since I start back to school next week.
Dd started back yesterday, no mask required. DS STILL can’t start his year because even though he’s been symptom free since Sunday, he’s still testing positive and without a negative test he can’t go to school. What happens if he’s still testing positive at day 12? 15? 20? The kid is in 1st grade! He needs to be at school. He’s even willing to wear a mask and they won’t let him come back!
I totally get why people lie about them still being positive while dealing with DS. He’s good to go to school but isn’t allowed. I’m not sending him but damn. He missed the first day in a new school. That plain sucks. And, what’s the difference in day 9 vs day 10 vs day 15 as long as he’s symptom free? Just so frustrating.

oh man, that sucks. I know of several families who seem to keep getting COVID. We've all had it once, DH has never caught it.
This coming flu season should be interesting. I pray it's mild. Hope your DD recovers fully and quickly.

It's less than 3 months. I know a couple people who got it a second time less than 2 months apart this summer. This latest variant is highly contagious and immunity does not seem to last.

Almost 2 months to the day. Friend caught it after mask mandate ended at our schools and she decided to not wear hers anymore. Went on vacation with no mask and has the (what I am sure is the) new variant. |

It is far less than 3 months, especially with this new variant. Ive known multiple people this year who have contracted Covid around 2 months after having it prior.

I've had Delta & Omicron. Fingers crossed it keeps me immune for just a little while longer. I've got $H*t to do.

My husband has it for the first time - first symptoms last Thursday, tested positive on Friday and tested again today, still a very strong positive. His congestion is much improved but he lost his sense of smell and taste yesterday. My kids had it in April, I will be crushed for them if they get it again so soon.

My daughter just had it for the second time in about 2-1/2 months. Fortunately, both mild cases.

Dd had it in Jan (different variant I assume)
We all just got it the last 2 weeks. For us it was like a bad cold.
In January he was only sick for a couple of days. In Dec he had influenza and was nuch sicker than with covid

I agree, it's far less than 3 months. I know someone who had it at the beginning of June, then again at the beginning of July. Her Doctor said it was clearly two different cases. The 2nd one has knocked her down with long covid symptoms.
From everything I ready there is little, to no, immunity from previous covid infections or even vaccinations for this new variant.
Not that I was out and about much anyway, but I'm back to staying in as much as possible.

My friends DH is a respiratory therapist who has been dealing with Covid from the start. He said that he's had patients fully recover and end up with a different variant TWO WEEKS later! That was NOT comforting when in a classroom with unmasked kids!

BA.5 is said to be able to reinfect in a matter of weeks. Weeks. They were talking about a 4-week window in early July. This virus has no chill. It's whack-a-mole except the mole gets fed party drugs every time you try to whack it and goes a little crazier and a little faster, woohoo! |

And I'll say just as some of these comments (not the one I quoted) seem to read as if I was providing a medical opinion on time to reinfection - this was just an anecdotal post about our family's experience and my surprise how quickly my daughter was reinfected. Best of luck to all those currently dealing with it and best of luck for global you to not be reinfected. |

We're scheduled to leave the country in a few weeks and I was so very confident of no issues as we'd suffered through it all in may/june - covid be like - ha! |

Ditto for me - my child brought it home from school in May (and I also got it almost a week after they did) and I'm concerned about getting it multiple times this school year since there aren't any Covid mitigation efforts for the 2022-2023 school year. My 10 sick days aren't going to go too far if I get Covid multiple times and there's a minimum 5 day quarantine each time - and that's if you don't get really sick and need more sick days. Double Ugh. |

We're being told it "hasn't been decided yet" whether (or what) mitigation strategies might be put in place at my school. We haven't been told anything yet as our back to school inservice isn't until August. But when we left in May there was no more contact tracing, masks weren't required at all in 2022, and very little social distancing - so I'm very doubtful that there will be any mitigation efforts, except maybe extra hand sanitizer before lunch and maybe after recess. |

I'm six months from being technically eligible due to age and they have plenty to go around. Whatever protection that might provide seems worth it. |

My friend and her family have experienced this. She had covid Memorial Day Weekend timeframe, tested positive and sick for 7-10 days, then got a neg test. Not long after (towards the end of June) her and her husband and son all got covid (I am guessing Ba.5) Her dh was vaccinated/boosted and was really sick and tested positive for over 2 weeks and still wasn't feeling well last time we spoke.
From what I have read, Ba.5 doesn't care much about prior immunity either from previous sickness with covid or boosters.
Does anyone have any information if the boosters in August or September timeframe will account for the newest mutation?
Yes, this makes me a bit nervous about back to school.

We have in person full district meeting in the high school auditorium on Wednesday next week. Thet’s 100+ people in a room all together. No thank you. We were making bets on how many end up sick from it. And we have a serious sub shortage in my district. This year is gonna be interesting.
On and Covid leave ends September 30. After that, we have to use our own sick days. That’s so much bullshit.
