That’s me and my whole family of 4. Suck it, COVID.

You could have caught it, even multiple times, while not experiencing symptoms. Meanwhile you did spread it to others unknowingly.

I am aware of this aspect, but all four of us would have to be non-symptomatic people, which I find highly unlikely; we just mask, vax, hand-wash constantly, and avoid crowds. I was certainly knocked on my ass by each vaccination. Other circumstantial evidence that we probably haven’t had it yet is that none of us have had a cold in 3 years either, thanks to our pandemic habits and precautions. It’s been great.

Do your kids homeschool? You do guys work from home? I’ve gotten it twice, both times from my office. There are only like 10 of us in a hybrid office, but that’s still enough exposure.

That was my family until this variant late summer. My kids brought it home after school started and a week later my wife and I had it.

After 4 days I was back up and moving around like nothing happened. If there’s any variant to catch, apparently this one isn’t bad at all compared to previous iterations.

Eris didn’t have any lung involvement at all and was basically like a week long sinus infection with muscle aches, chills, and fatigue.

So now I’ve got a bit of natural immunity and I’ll get my booster when I get my flu shot like I’ve been doing every year.
