COVID had six strains?

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

@Marp, I just got an email notice that I thought might be of interest to you (or anyone here), since it's a Q&A and yours might be a great question for the medical team and the participants:

"Do you have questions about COVID-19 including vaccines, clinical trials, long-haul symptoms or the latest information about spread and prevention? PatientsLikeMe Vice President and Senior Medical Advisor Dr. Kate Burke will be in the COVID-19 forum Wednesday October 7 through the end of the day Friday October 9 answering your questions about COVID-19, or Coronavirus. Feel free to post questions in advance for her to answer."

Not me, so I googled it. Seems to be a non issue. Which is good.

@Lali1 She asked here, because this is a discussion board, and she wanted to discuss it!

@manny2 No-she asked a question. Nobody here can answer that question; none of us are professionals in the field (pitdakota the exception).

This is what she asked.....

Since there are at least six known strains of Covid if a Covid positive person undergoing treatment comes in sustained contact with someone, confirmed or not, that also has Covid but of a different strain what effects would the possible commingled infection have on the person being treated and their treatment protocol?

So while a discussion can be valid, asking us about the different strains of COVID is beyond our expertise.

We will see various scenarios about COVID; some may be valid, some may not be valid and in the end nobody really has the answer.

I think doctors treat covid as a condition nonspecific for any strain. People take cold /flu medications for symptoms they have from all different stains of the cold /flu virus, for example.
