apparently. Both my daughters have it, my future daughter-in-law has it too. My future son-in-law had it at Thanksgiving. My husband just recovered...still has the exhaustion but is back at work. Many jobs are going virtual now. And our local schools are closed. I am vaxed and boosted and have not caught it thus far. I wear a mask everywhere.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy everything including Kwanza and Hanukkah!

Hope everyone has a speedy recovery.
And that you stay safe.

They are saying omnicron is more contagious and it sounds like from all reports that is true.

unvaccinated has covid. His pregnant wife had only one shot too. They have a three-year-old who is unvaccinated as well. My niece in Georgia who has immunological issues is being treated pre-emptively. Her selfish sister refuses to be vaccinated and has refused to allow her child to be vaccinated. You can't fix stupid. So far this seems less deadly than the other forms of Covid. Although my daughter-in-law's sister who works as a surgical tech at Cleveland Clinic says the hospital is filling up...she has Covid and is off for two weeks with full pay and an allowance to pay to order food. Fingers crossed that we weather this as individuals the country as a whole. Happy Holidays.

I have lots of extended family down in middle Tennessee and surprised how few of them have been infected (or, they're hiding it). Up here in KY with my immediate family, so far only my vaxxed son-in-law got COVID. He caught it (Delta) in a rehab/treatment center but his case was mild.

I have a nasty feeling mid-January is going to be a very sad time for America.....

All the best to you and all your family.....
