My hypothesis is that people who got Covid once and recovered feel safe, thus start doing more risky things and have more exposure to potential Covid carriers.

My hypothesis is that people who got Covid once and recovered feel safe, thus start doing more risky things and have more exposure to potential Covid carriers.
So the second time the viral load may be much higher, which leads to worse symptoms.
Do you think this is true in your anecdotal experience?
- CogitoCogito 5y agoIn general that's certainly possible, but I don't think it is in this case. My girlfriend and I were pretty relaxed late last summer (a couple months after she got sick) to early winter when we had low case count, but after that we became very careful again when the cases got high. Since then we've both been very careful. Her job has just been a bit of a cesspool of cases. It just keeps going around and around and eventually it got her too.
