Apparently with no confirmation that he had it the first time:

> [@](#):
>
> "[… Wife] Becca and I had COVID before, early on, in January 2020, before the world really knew what it was,” Higgins writes. “So, this is our second experience with the CCP biological attack weaponized virus.”
> 
> January 2020 would place Higgins as one of the earliest known cases in the U.S. He does not elaborate in the statement how he was diagnosed with Covid-19 then, when he learned about it, or how he got it.

Given his strikingly evident credulous dickwaddery in general, I wouldn’t place a whole lot of faith in his unsupported assertion that he actually had COVID in January 2020.
