Already had COVID-19? Here's what we know about reinfections
As research suggests that COVID-19 has infected roughly half of the Canadian population, the emergence of an even more contagious version of the virus means some people may be in for another round.
You'll likely catch COVID-19 again and again. Will each round feel milder?
By this point in the pandemic, you've likely had COVID-19 at least once. Maybe twice. Perhaps even three times, as some unfortunate Canadians have experienced, all while this virus evolved to become increasingly savvy at infecting us. It's clear that reinfections from this coronavirus are the...

COVID can survive on frozen food for up to a month.......
Is COVID-19 living in your freezer?
BY RUSSELL FALCON, NEXSTAR MEDIA WIRE - 07/17/22 12:00 PM ET
(NEXSTAR) — As COVID-19 sub-variants continued sweeping across the U.S., new research suggests your body might not be the only place hosting the coronavirus. Yikes!
Researchers studied two animal coronoviruses’ ability to survive on various meats, including salmon, pork, chicken and beef during both refrigeration and freezing for one month, according to the data published by the American Society for Microbiology’s journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology.
Scientists say the viruses — which were used as surrogates in place of COVID-19, as they are all similar — had greater survival on beef and pork. Chicken and salmon, they write, had greater reductions.
While the main mode of transmission of COVID-19 is widely known to be respiratory, the researchers note previous data shows coronaviruses can survive on even non frozen foods, like produce, and possibly infect someone. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says food/food packaging transmission is unlikely, though the researchers write they believe more data is needed.
So how would COVID-19 end up in meat?
Researchers write that living conditions in markets and slaughterhouses, in addition to meat processing plants, that may transfer particles to meat, poultry and seafood during animal slaughter, processing, storage and transport.”
The study’s authors say their data needs more backing but that they hope their findings will emphasize the need for more safety measures in food production and packaging.

Biden tests positive for Covid-19 and is experiencing mild symptoms
(CNN)President Joe Biden has tested positive for Covid-19 and is experiencing "mild symptoms," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Thursday.
The mild symptoms and diagnosis protocol for Biden -- a double-boosted 79-year-old at high risk for experiencing severe illness -- so far will mean "working and resting" at the White House for the rest of the day, according to a senior administration official. This is the first time Biden has tested positive for Covid-19, and he last tested negative on Tuesday, per Jean-Pierre. Vice President Kamala Harris and first lady Jill Biden have tested negative on Thursday.
"This morning, President Biden tested positive for Covid-19. He is fully vaccinated and twice boosted and experiencing very mild symptoms. He has begun taking Paxlovid," she said, referring to Pfizer's antiviral drug, which is available via emergency use authorization from the US Food and Drug Administration for treatment of mild to moderate Covid-19 in people 12 and older who are at high risk of severe illness. It requires a doctor's prescription.
"Consistent with CDC guidelines, he will isolate at the White House and will continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time," she added.
Harris is expected to keep her normal schedule. The senior administration official said there are no plans and no need to transfer executive powers to Harris -- as was done last November for 85 minutes, when Biden was under anesthesia for a routine colonoscopy.
Biden did not have a fever Thursday morning, the White House's coronavirus coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha told CNN. And Dr. Kevin O'Connor, the President's physician, wrote in a letter about the President's condition that Biden was "experiencing mild symptoms, mostly rhinorreha (or 'runny nose') and fatigue, with an occasional dry cough, which started yesterday evening."

This morning, President Biden tested positive for COVID-19. He is fully vaccinated and twice boosted and experiencing very mild symptoms. He has begun taking Paxlovid. Consistent with CDC guidelines, he will isolate at the White House and will continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time. He has been in contact with members of the White House staff by phone this morning, and will participate in his planned meetings at the White House this morning via phone and Zoom from the residence.
Consistent with White House protocol for positive COVID cases, which goes above and beyond CDC guidance, he will continue to work in isolation until he tests negative. Once he tests negative, he will return to in-person work.
Out of an abundance of transparency, the White House will provide a daily update on the President’s status as he continues to carry out the full duties of the office while in isolation.
Per standard protocol for any positive case at the White House, the White House Medical Unit will inform all close contacts of the President during the day today, including any Members of Congress and any members of the press who interacted with the President during yesterday’s travel. The President’s last previous test for COVID was Tuesday, when he had a negative test result.
Statement from Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre | The White House
It's fairly trivial to anyone else, but I wonder if Trump's ego will be able to handle it if Biden never has to go to Walter Reed. I'm sure that in Trump's mind, that would somehow make Biden seem "stronger" by comparison, which means he woul dhave to do or say something stupid about it.
I was gonna post a Biden pic "Look at me Donald, I didn't even have to go to the hospital!!!"
Nah, Trump already takes credit for the vaccines so he'll just say that Biden getting as sick and needing to be hospitalized is thanks to him.
Damn, this is tragic brother
Now you're going to be forced to only have sex with the wifey like some peasant.
