This would be the possibly-third time I've had this.

Last time was this past December and before that was March 2020... I think. I didn't have the rapid tests available then but those two times being sick was unlike any other routine cold or whatever going around.

So this time was the whole loss-of-taste and trouble/laboured breathing,
etc... decided to rough this one out rather than go to the hospital and I was breathing better this morning.

There are people out there who have it far worse than I do...

Ouch. I had it once and that was enough though my case was very mild but I am on medications that intefere with COVID's reproduction process.

Once you've had COVID, you know how weird it feels...

Yes.

I have more to say but this is not the place for it but it is sufficient to say that I am relieved that you do not have it any worse than you do.

I wasn't aware that one could get COVID more than once. I had assumed that, like most virii, once you caught it, your body would build antibodies, and be basically immune. Are these variants so different from each other that the antibodies from one cannot defeat another?

I'm not a doctor but I'm someone who since childhood was sick at least 3 or 4 times a year, often times with serious ear and sinus infections... when you get sick this often you tend to know whats a "normal" sick and whats not.

This one I tested positive with the same symptoms of my fantastic weeklong bedridden-journey of March 2020 - at that time in my one job I was servicing
a lot of tech in shopping malls all over Toronto, dealing with many people.
It was inevitable for me to be one of that first crowd here to catch Covid. When I caught it that time it was sickness like no other. I literally could
not get out of bed for a week.

But the time of recovery on this one I feel is much faster; I'm still moderately stuffed-up but no longer aches/pains/fever/chills or metallic taste/smell or elephant sitting on my chest.

Yes. SARS-CoV-2 is a coronavirus which is the same as the common cold. The coronavirus family mutates so often that it's nearly impossible to make a vaccine for it...

However, with that being said, I caught the cooties in October 2020 and my body is, for unknown reasons, still producing antibodies for it.

The faster recovery might suggest that you did indeed have Covid before. Any defences from previous variants would have at least some efficacy against a new one, and the immune system would be able to adapt and respond somewhat faster.

I'm no doctor, either, but I did pay attention to my Biology lessons, way back when. OTOH, I have smoked much pot since then... ~\(o_O)/~

Back in high school, one of my stoner buddies said "God is good, man is not; man made whiskey, God made pot." Made me laugh then and still does today.

Possibly but for me there is no "good" kind of sickness.

I know a fellow square dancer who has had it at least twice...the same
with her elderly Mom.

I just got my second booster shot yesterday...and my left arm deltoid
is sore as the dickens today. But, otherwise, I feel fine.
