My wife's best friend is a covid long-hauler. She got covid about 6 months ago. About 3 months ago, she was having trouble breathing but they thought it was asthma so they put her on an inhaler. About 3 weeks ago, she was feeling really terrible and went to the ER. She was in the hospital for 10 days with blood clots by her lungs. The clots were going into the lungs, and not away from the lungs, or she'd have had a stroke or heart attack. Instead, she just couldn't get enough oxygen. She was just in the hospital again for a day with light-headedness, likely from the medications they put her on. They adjusted the medication. She does have health insurance but she's 3 months behind on rent due to this and other money issues.

Covid: Woman caught virus twice within record 20 days

A 31-year-old healthcare worker caught Covid twice within 20 days - the shortest-known gap between infections, Spanish researchers have claimed.

Tests show the woman was infected with two different variants - Delta in late December and then Omicron in January. This shows that even if you have had Covid before, you can still be infected again even if fully vaccinated, the researchers say.

The Spaniard did not develop any symptoms after her first positive PCR test, but less than three weeks later she developed a cough and fever which prompted her to take another test. When the tests were analysed further, they showed the patient had been infected by two different strains of coronavirus.

In a presentation at the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, study author Dr. Gemma Recio said the case highlighted that Omicron can "evade the previous immunity acquired either from a natural infection with other variants or from vaccines". She said: "In other words, people who have had Covid-19 cannot assume they are protected against reinfection, even if they have been fully vaccinated. Nevertheless, both previous infection with other variants and vaccination do seem to partially protect against severe disease and hospitalisation in those with Omicron," added Dr Recio, from the Institut Catala de Salut, Tarragona in Spain.

Scientists predict that eventually everyone will catch Covid twice, and probably many more times over the course of their lifetime.
