Any tips?
Seems to be everywhere and lots of people coming off holiday trips said they got it. |

| Yes mid-December. LAX to DC. We traveled unmasked. None of us caught so much as a cold. There are no tips really, just wash your hands. And if you get Covid it is what it is, you're going to be fine. |

Wash your hands? For an airborne virus being exhaled out by others around you? |

Yes! I caught another cold like virus but no Covid.
Tips? Dumb luck. |

Yep. It's a lot of luck and genetics. We went south for summer break 2021 and it was fine. Nobody masked down there and upon return, our fam of 4 were all fine.
We got it this yr just living our lives on a daily basis. No idea how. DH got it randomly last Nov. none of us got it at all and he did not isolate - tested after 3 days so by that time it wouldn't have mattered we thought. I really think it's like contagious like any other virus - do your best to protect but what else can you do except never go out?! |

it's been 3 years, have you learned nothing? YES WASH YOUR HANDS! "....Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol if you have symptoms of acute respiratory illness...." Covid is very low on the list of worries I have - I got my required vaccinations, and I washed my hands frequently. So far, so good! WASH YOUR HANDS. |

| Yes, several times between Nov 2023-Jan 2024. We did nothing special-no masks. None of the 5 of us ever got sick. |

| Just got it last week - this variant is very quick to infect. So far it's like a very bad cold w/ sore throat and congestion. High fever first day. Thinking back sneezing was first symptom several days prior to fever. |

| I left for a month-long trip abroad a couple weeks ago and really didn’t want to get Covid or anything else so I wore a mask from the minute I walked into the airport until the minute I left. And I wore it on the plane entire time. It’s not something I do but I just didn’t feel like getting sick. On the way back. I’ll probably not wear a mask. But all I know is I didn’t get anything and I’m glad I didn’t. It was a minor inconvenience to wear the mask but worth it to me. |

| Went to Puerto Rico over the long MLK weekend, didn't mask, was fine. |

| Similar to PP, I wore a mask out but not back in my trip earlier this month, the reason being I was attending a meeting with a lot of people who have disabilities who I simply didn't want to infect. Coming back, I didn't care as much and didn't mask. Never got sick. But I did wash my hands a lot. |

Generally yes - traveled internationally in late November, and domestically for work in mid-December and early January.
Last January I did get Covid either during or traveling home from vacation. |

| We traveled over Christmas break with my mom who ended up with Covid. I have no idea how we avoided it and she got it. We also have done a long weekend trios. None of us got it and we didn't wear masks. DH, DS, and I all tested numerous times as we all have activities or work commitments where we wouldn't want to expose people to Covid. |
