Colds and Covid vaccines

I haven't had a cold since having Covid in 2019/ early 2020. I'm wondering if the rotten dose I had of it has kept me immune, along with my one vax and 'flu-jab. No chest problems either.

Fortunately I've never been one for catching colds, even when working at the hospital with all the germs floating about.

A friend rang me yesterday full of a cold, has had all her jabs, tested positive for Covid and has been quite unwell-----caught from her children at nursery and her youngest was pretty sick, with an emercency visit to A&E last weekend.

D and most of the children, vaxed, have all been full of colds.

Mixing is the root cause of it, but what are you supposed to do ? Me ?, with a solitary life, nothing ! Not even the cats

I used to constantly have a cold, caught from being in a classroom all day, every day. I really suffered too. Sometimes I could barely stand up.

Whereas, I THINK I have a cold now (caught from DGS) but I have a slight sniffle. I didn't even realise it was a cold until I felt a bit congested and noted that the toddler had cold.

Very odd.

I haven't had a cold since the pandemic began, in spite of being in contact with family who had bad colds.

Not in my case. Triple vaccinated and I'm just recovering from a nasty non covid virus. Ear infection, eye infection, throat infection and a cough. All my sinuses were blocked too.

Covid 19 yet it didn't kick-off until March 2020 ?

Some colds are caused by coronavirus (not 19). All our family have had less colds but when children went back to mixing in school and nursery they have started again and worse than before probably as natural immunity is less because of less exposure.

EllenVannin Covid 19 started in 2019 in China. It came here in early 2020. I went to a theatre mid Feb and was concerned if anyone sneezed so when we locked down in March it had been here a while.

Two vaccinations plus a booster haven't prevented me getting colds. I have had three in as many months. Each time I'm convinced it is Covid but all tests are negative. The December cold was horrid and this one is just annoying. I blame toddler DGC.

There were a few athletes at the Wuhan military games held in August? 2019 who are convinced they caught covid there.
I know I had it in Dec 2019. I still have very little taste or smell.

We are pretty sure that two family members caught it in January 2019. One thinks it was on a plane - someone was coughing incessantly - the other caught it in hospital while having an op. It delayed his recovery considerably, and his consultant thinks it was almost certainly COVID.

The one who caught it on the plane then spent 2 weeks in bed in a hotel room, and felt very rough and tired for several weeks afterwards.

I had 'flu' around Christmas December 18, and was really poorly with it. So much so that I cancelled hosting Christmas Dinner and spent it on my own. GP said it was the flu and I had had my Flu vaccine in October. It caused me lots of chest problems, irregular heart beat and other problems and I underwent lots of tests at the hospital. There was nothing conclusive found and that was that. But I am sure that Covid was around much earlier than we have been lead to believe.

No they don't. I had a dreadful headcold in december and an awful cough which lasted for 3 weeks.....had to do pcr test and wait two dys for result....it ws negative.
