19. I've had 2 shots and 3 boosters, and I had COVID a week ago.

I had the omicron booster too. I was just finishing with my second illness since October, bronchitis and a sinus infection, and started feeling sick again. I had just finished a round of amoxicillin that didn't seem to do anything other than give me a yeast infection. I noticed a had a bit of a fever and so I tested and it was positive.

I was really shocked because we still mask, although I have been one or two places without one (stupid).

But it did not last long thankfully. Just 6 or 7 days. I will say I had the worst cough I've ever had with a lot of congestion. Just gobbled mucinex and used my albuterol.

I think people are in total denial and we're going to act accordingly. We're back to defensive precautions, mostly hand washing and masking everywhere.
