I guess some silver linings but overall just... shitty.

Yeah... Still not completely confident I'm in the clear personally. Woke up with significant back pain today and I know that's how my cousins symptoms started. But no other issues at the moment. With Omicron by day 5 after exposure there's a good chance you're in the clear if you feel fine... But in hindsight maybe I don't feel fine.
 
To make matters worse, the booster sorta fucked up my dad I think. There are plenty of long haulers who get their symptoms from the vax so it's not impossible, but it appears to be legit. He's tested for inflammation fairly regularly and he did one shortly after his booster and he's got random inflammation all over his body now and has been in a lot of pain. Really need safer vaccines (again, disclaimer: not an antivaxxer).

It's true. This time even the doctor is on board with the theory because he has a couple other patients with the same issue after getting vaccinated. I just think if the plan is to boost everyone every 4-5 months, the risk of adverse effects increases with each needle you get. Still small risks but not ideal!
 
pandemic has been 'over' for all of 10 days in NS. annnnnd Ms. Wayward has fucking covid.

we dined out on Saturday (we both had birthdays this month) but I feel like symptoms would have shown up sooner if it was from that. only other option is I infected her or she got it from (presumably the unmasked bozos at) the climbing gym. fun times.

2nd time since January for her? When did symptoms start/when did she test positive? Saturday is technically not impossible.

tested positive this afternoon.

symptoms... tougher to say. she has been fatigued since like... much of the week. but sore throat and runny nose started today.

and yeah, we both are confident we had it back in January, one week post booster, thanks to my paralegal.

Well shit. And I remember you said she tested positive in January too, so it's hard to say this isn't a re-infection if that's the case. Saturday exposure is possible especially since she tested positive this early, but yeah could be the gym too. Usually a healthy boosted or previously infected person will get symptoms earlier on as your immune system responds far faster than an immunonaive person, but there are always exceptions. My brother's symptoms started Monday and my dad's Wednesday night so it can vary. Hope it's mild for her and I hope you escape it.

I'm still confused about my own situation. I feel like it's too early to celebrate but I keep waiting for a sore throat/congestion or runny nose to come but nothing yet. Muscle pain, headache and stomach issues are present though, but none of those are particularly rare for me outside of stomach issues. Haven't tested today so I'll do it a little later. Seems like the groom feels fine too so maybe whoever was spreading the shit that night wasn't at peak infectiousness and spared a portion of the attendees. Hearing of a lot of positives, but also a lot of people that appear fine for now.
 
Infections 2-3 months apart still very very unlikely per icu friend + anecdotal evidence based on the superspreader event leafman and I caught it at.
