Here’s a Huge, FREE covid safety resource list.
the more times you get COVID, the more likely you are going to get a possible complication, be it lung complication, heart complication or mental health problems.
people with COVID-19 reinfections were twice as likely to die and three times more likely to be hospitalized than those with no reinfection.

people with COVID-19 have a higher risk of all sorts of heart problems at one year.

The increased risk of a broad spectrum of heart problems was evident.

“There are some viruses—like hepatitis B, for example—that if we get the virus once in our life, we’re protected for the rest of our lives,” she said. “But other viruses, particularly the respiratory viruses like influenza and now SARS-CoV-2, they continue to mutate in a way that we can get those types of viruses over and over again because the strain changes and we aren’t necessarily protected against that new strain.”
