my daughter has it I don't (as of yet), but since I'm not isolating from her, I suspect I will. (Though we're about to test the efficacy of second moderna booster. I got it a month ago!)
I'm not surprised we brought it home. While she wears her mask in school, cases are definitely high and it's everywhere right now.
Luckily she's past the worst part. (Fever for two days. Sore throat. After 3 days, symptom free. Just tired. She's 11 and a half, so got the children's Pfizer vaccine.) She's been sleeping with me (I work from home and had second booster so we felt I was more protected) so that my husband could isolate in the other room. (Missing work is more complicated for him.)
