The infection knocked him on his back for 4 days. He's incredibly healthy, strong and fit. He was double vaxxed but no boosters.

My husband and I have had the full retinue of shots. We managed to escape infection, this time at least.

Hope your experience remains mild. If so, you should be back on your feet quickly.

The vaccines are true lifesavers.

Get on Paxlovid even if you are having mild symptoms now. LisaL Jul 2022 #19

Do you know where you caught it? Are people still masking up in your area? Anyway.... LAS14 Jul 2022 #21

Hardly anyone masks up anymore. The vaccination rate in my area is below 50%. Arkansas Granny Jul 2022 #25
