Wow. You’re sharing you personal anecdote based on symptoms (not a confirm diagnosis) and claiming we should be changing our global approach to Covid?

Don’t do that please.

Wait, what? I never said anything about "changing our global approach to Covid". And just to be clear, I have a PCR-confirmed diagnosis.

You have zero evidence you got Covid-19 again, other than your strong belief.

Despite no other documented case of reinfection being published (beyond a positive PCR, which prove DNA, not infection).

Kind of a reckless statement.

> "Despite no other documented case of reinfection being published"

Here's one for your reference. This pretty much matches my experience/timeframe, except my symptoms were similar both times (not worse the second time), and I don't have any known comorbidities:

Confirmed Reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 Variant VOC-202012/01

You have a single PCR confirmed diagnosis. For your anecdote to be useful, you need two.
