COVID-19

At this point I am really wondering if we all should prepare to get infected, because it seems we've been left in the hands of herd immunity.

At least under the Indian government.
 
These remaining 3 months should d give us somewhat clear picture. The re-infection cases seem to be more severe, but as of now only 4 cases(3docs, 1nurse), so we need more data.
 
That you will have to confirm with No Data Agency(NDA).
If not the Govt, I think the medical fraternity will be keeping a tab on the re-infection characteristics. If the new cases are more deadly, they could pressurise Govt to take some stringent action. I know it's wishful thinking, but still.
 
"In a lot of recovered patients, we are realising post-Covid sequelling and residual illness. This may last for weeks or months; sometimes the damage may be lifelong. Predominant symptoms based on various studies are fatigue, body ache, joint pain, dry persistent cough, which occurs in 50-60% of patients. Also, some are not able to concentrate."

You should have seen the reply from Dr. Harsh, Ministry of Health on Ndtv that the cases of re-infection or post covid symptoms are not that series despite being looked into. I wanted to 🤦but was having my lunch.
 
There are COVID-19 incidents in which a single person likely infected 80 percent or more of the people in the room in just a few hours. But, at other times, COVID-19 can be surprisingly much less contagious. Overdispersion and super-spreading of this virus are found in research across the globe. A growing number of studies estimate that a majority of infected people may not infect a single other person. A recent paper found that in Hong Kong, which had extensive testing and contact tracing, about 19 percent of cases were responsible for 80 percent of transmission, while 69 percent of cases did not infect another person. This finding is not rare: Multiple studies from the beginning have suggested that as few as 10 to 20 percent of infected people may be responsible for as much as 80 to 90 percent of transmission, and that many people barely transmit it.

I've seen it happening with a few people. An uncle met his friend who 3-4 days later came positive for COVID, but uncle wasn't infected.

On the other hand a friend of mine tested positive while nobody else was positive in his home or at his office. No link whatsoever.
