A related note, and scientists correct me if I’m wrong, but if it were to happen, I believe the offspring could only be female. Unless the mother was a reproductively-able hermaphrodite (synchronous) and an internal testis released a sperm cell and it met up with a egg. In that case I have no idea what it’s called but it has allegedly been recorded 11 times. All those offspring were male.

Reply to If I am just recovered from a typical cold (5 days long / 2 days off work), am I now more immune to all infections for a period of time, or less? by [deleted]
My FIL tested positive for covid, Influenza and strep all at the same time. He is fairly healthy and recovered fine, but felt crappy for a couple weeks. “Immunity” is an often misused, misunderstood word. Less susceptible, more resilient might be better terms than immune.
Your body has created a blueprint for the next infection so it knows what to do, but there’s no guarantee of immunity. And when your system is already stressed, you’re at a higher risk of another infection causing you symptoms than if you weren’t already fighting something. Think AIDS, it’s actually a common virus/bacteria that kills you, not the HIV/AIDS itself.

Would you be willing explain the other, rare blood types? For example a family member has the Kidd blood type) Found out the 8 blood types are just the most common, and there’s actually a bunch more.
