33. My cousin who came back from Italy two weeks ago

Wed Oct 12, 2022, 08:00 PM

Oct 2022

and infected her kids, their spouses and two of her young grandchildren, likely had this variant. She did not test before going to see them, even though she had a “tickle” in her throat. Nor did she wear a mask. She was with her 10 month old grandchild for 6 hours that day.

She also did not get the bivalent booster before she went.

They were all extremely sick but she got it worse than anyone else. She finally tested negative yesterday, after 12 days. But, she is still completely exhausted and cannot go back to work yet.

I have no idea if she got Plaxovid, but her sister didn’t think she did.

I’m also 100% sure she never masked on her trip. I love my cousin but she is one of the most self centered person I know.
