Also, my kid's 5th grade class had an outbreak (I think about 10 cases among the 4 classes) right before spring break.

I think a lot of people who were very careful about distancing and mask wearing through omicron are now "done" and getting this latest variant.

My family of 4 has still only had one of us with a positive case (omicron) and none of the rest of us got it.

I think lots of people won’t test or will take a test at home. From reaching out/talking to other people, it seems like there is an uptick. The disappointing/scary thing is that some of these people who are testing positive now, had Omicron in January or Delta in the fall. I was hoping that at least when it got me (I’m tripled vac btw), I would be immune for a while.

Yeah, people said the same thing in mid-December.

Yep. And things turned out fine. Vaccinated people were well-protected from severe illness, and hospitals were not overwhelmed.

I agree, but it cure caused a lot of disruption. We had to abort holiday travel due to an exposure at daycare (not to mention the 14 day quarantine that came with it for DC) and later this week will be our first attempt to travel again and see family since then. Fingers crossed!

Understood, but that’s silly. We should be able to treat covid like other illnesses now, getting rid of quarantines for close contacts.

This is true, but we are getting to the point where boosters are no longer effective.

Protection against severe illness is much more durable than protection against infection.
