A relative who lives in Switzerland paid for one of these tests a week or so ago and got a positive result that he had had Covid (unknowingly). He had a very bad cold in January. To him it means to a large extent he is now immune and can't pass it on either. That's the idea behind it although there will always be exceptions.
Other half had a three day very sore throat about two weeks ago, didn’t tell me till five days after it stopped. I also had a ‘funny’ throat around the same time.
I’d be very interested to know if what we both had was COVID or not, especially since I’m in a high risk group, and according to letter I received yesterday ( the third I’ve had from the NHS) I should be shielding, which I’m not.

I think that's the idea behind it yes. The common cold isn't just a single virus, it's all the various mutations. I suppose Covid will do the same. However don't we gain some immunity from colds as we age? I remember as a teenager and young adult I had colds every couple of months. Now it's maybe one every 5 years, in fact I can't remember the last time I had an actual sneezing blowing the nose head cold.
I don't think we knw a whole lot at the moment, bednobs. There's been a case of a woman who apparently contracted Covid in India but has only just tested postitive in Australia two months later
