Maybe it shouldn't have been - most of us have either experienced this or been anticipating it since March 2020 - but there are only two positive tests I don't want to see, and the ship has sailed for the other one.
It's not me; my husband went to his office's holiday party at a bowling alley last Thursday, and by Saturday was feeling achy. Sunday he had a sore throat. Monday was a cough and chills. Yesterday was a fever.
I'm clear so far. Not sure how, but I'll take it because someone needs to be healthy enough to ask, "Have you taken your cough medicine? What was your temperature just then?"
He's feeling some better already. Not there yet, by any means, but I think for the most part we've also all forgotten how to be sick. Masking didn't just prevent Covid, it kept all the normal nasty germs and allergens from getting in.
What absolutely astounds me is that we flew to Las Vegas, hung out in a smoky, crowded casino with thousands of people, and then flew home again, and while a lot of attendees did get Covid and RSV and just general con crud, we didn't.
At a bowling alley. A freaking bowling alley.
Christmas will be quiet this year. (There's an upside to everything if you look for it).

Bummer! Hope you stay well to make the tea and soup and so on! At my house we both have it but it seems to be fairly mild - aches/pains/coughing but no real lung involvement. We think having had every vaccine/booster/antivirals helps!

Ceci, I think the boosters definitely helped. Even with how bad he responds to being sick, he admitted this wasn't very bad.
