[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only the 65+ folks in my family got the 2nd booster. We all ended up with COVID after a family trip last week. I’ll say that those of us with 1 booster have been hit pretty hard, compared to those with 2 boosters. [/quote]

Can you clarify? Because I'd assume someone with 2 boosters (the last one being quite recent) should be essentially asymptomatic or have an extremely mild case at this point if they are infected. So even a day of fever or malaise could seem like being hit hard compared to those people...but many of us have a fever and day of malaise with each shot. Are 3x vaccinated, healthy people really getting that sick from Covid at this point? (I totally get the "I'd rather not get sick at all" but it seems to me you'd have to get boosted every 2-4 months at this point if that were your goal.)[/quote]

For most of us, it was a sore throat, some congestion, and a lot of fatigue. I slept the entire day I tested positive and am feeling fatigued today, on day 5. My brother in law has a horrible cough.

So maybe I shouldn’t have said “hit pretty hard,” since that’s subjective, but certainly I would consider my symptoms to be more than “extremely mild,” though I guess it’s all relative.

I do know some who have temporarily lost sense of taste/smell. Luckily that hasn’t happened to us. [/quote]
