There's nothing to "get over with." She can continue to get it after having it before, and every time makes the potential risks higher. I've managed to avoid it so far (as far as I know,) but I know my luck will run out eventually. Just hoping to get it as few times as possible.

Due to my OCD I'm almost a hikikomori and I got the virus. I don't know how. I work from home and I don't go to parties or things like that.

It's SUPER transmissible. I have no clue why my wife and I haven't gotten it because she in particular has had several times where she was in close proximity with infected individuals at work. Maybe we have and were asymptomatic, or maybe we've just been lucky...so far.

Some people just seem to have good immunity. Count yourself lucky.

I do, especially since I'm definitely not one of those people who never gets sick.

It lingers in the air like smoke. You could have just happened upon it.
