> it was super mild
It might be that weaker cases give less immunity. If you were exposed to smaller amounts of the virus in the first case.

But I was exposed to a really high dose as my wife had picked up COVID at work and I was caring for her, even sleeping with my face right in front of her face all night probably getting exposed to a shipload of virus with every single breath.
- have very likely immunity or at least a much better response the next time
- despite having been exposed to it the first time having had super mild symptoms so I don’t need protection from a non threat
- coronaviruses mutate a lot slower and people who had sars-cov-1 still had a t-cell immunity even 10 years after their infection and there is little reason to believe that sars-cov-2 couldn’t be similar
Given that I won’t be offered the vaccine for a long time I luckily don’t have to decide and know that I won’t have it at least until enough production testing was done.
