Thank you!

So far just a minor cold is how I would describe it. The person I got it from (we were at a party together over the weekend, her husband had it the week before and she ultimately tested negative....until she didn't) is already on the mend.

Hoping the same for me

I think everyone will get it eventually unless they live under a rock. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

To be sure. Admittedly I wore the ducking it for the last two plus years as a sort of badge of honor. In our social circle, only two families hadn't had a positive test.

Ironically I was exposed in CA on business at the end of April (sat in a car with someone who had it for 45 mins)...never got it.

Thanks!!

We got it 2 weeks ago... daughter brought it home from one of her lunch buddies. We'd also escaped it this whole time, too, but I know SO MANY people locally and in other states catching this variant.

Ya its all over the place for sure. Was up in MA over Memorial Day weekend a number of friends were down with it.

I'm sorta hoping my friend's doc is right; Boosted + Omicron = Bulletproof for the summer.

The omicron variants are crazy! Check out the cool chart of how each one is taking over: https://covid19.ncdhhs.gov/dashboard

For sure, Omicron has gone cray cray with all its subvariants. Curious which one I got. But I'm not going to get a PCR test to try and confirm. I have it, so no need to go any further.

What was your illness like if you don't mind me asking? My Scientist buddy (I have mentioned him multiple times here in this conversation over the last two years) got it around the same time you did.

He said he had a tickle in his nose/throat, mild cold symptoms. Tested positive for 7 days. Then was "wiped out" for the week after testing negative.

Similar to your experience?

DD - VERY sick and took several months to recover (vaxxed x2)
DS - sick for one day (vaxxed x2)
me - was like allergies on steroids (vaxxed x3) NEVER would have guessed it was 'Rona ...only tested because the kids had it and I wanted not to expose my parents.

Literally everyone we know had it in the spring. I can't see how anyone is escaping it at this point, even if they don't know they had it.

I thought it was bad allergies on Monday (two days post exposure). Tested Monday, negative. Slightly more yesterday, tested negative.

Woke up this AM, felt a little worse. Popped positive.

It is a pretty bizarre virus in the diversity of outcomes people experience with it.

Glad you all recovered though.

Haven’t gotten it yet. I still throw on a mask when inside with public, but something tells me sooner or later the bullseye’s on me.
