Oh boy a whole 8 months!!!

That’s almost long enough until the next flu season!

It happened to me and I am 7 months out. I'll let you know how next month goes. Covid sucks

That seems to be about how often me and my mom end up with Covid…perhaps it’s somewhat true.

At this point I am just resigning to the inevitability of catching COVID multiple times. Had it once, will probably get it again.

If you follow the precautions and get boosted you have very little to worry about. It’s the people who still think they can just run around with no mask, no vax, and no empathy that is biting us in the ass

You know, I'm all about science is great and so are vaccines, but I got my 4th shot (the Bivalent booster) and tested positive for covid 3 weeks later.

I am laid up for a full day after each shot (except for the first one) and then I was laid up for about 5 days after getting Covid. And this is with all my vaccinations.

I didn't die and I didn't get on a ventilator but I don't think I would have anyway. I just found that the entire experience of staying on top of my shots but still getting taken down by Covid for a couple of weeks (I was still feeling poorly after being bedridden for a week) to be disappointing for being fully vaxxed.

I caught omicron just over 12 months ago from kids who got it at school. There have been a few Covid outbreaks this winter in their class too but we have avoided getting it so far. Though I’m suspicious we could have picked up an asymptomatic infection this year instead?

It's possible you carried an asymptomatic infection but I think it's more likely you didn't get fully infected despite a few exposures. We got covid last month from our kids getting it at school too. The school was and is emailing notices every day an active case is reported. So far we get 5 notices per week.
