Well, I'm home from school this whole week having contracted Covid. I have to confess that I have felt pretty haughty about my ability to avoid this virus so maybe this is my comeuppance? Both my kids have it too but Ann has, so far, avoided it. So the vaccine is 25% effective in our family.

But I feel good enough to do some easy running. The past weekend was rough and I felt horrible on Saturday. As well as I feel today I expect to be mostly without symptoms tomorrow. So maybe the vaccine is at least good for that.

Sorry to hear that, Rob. Most people I know who have contracted it in the last month or so, who were vaccinated, had a rough first day, but otherwise experienced milder symptoms for the next couple of days. Hope to hear you are back to your old self in the next day or so. I am amazed that Ann has escaped it given her close contact as a nurse.

Hope you get better soon Rob. My wife who also used to be a RICU nurse sent me some recent infection rates. It's spreading fast.. Fortunately though it's not as bad as the last variant.

Get well soon. I'm just waiting my turn with kids still in the house.

Sorry to hear, Rob. Get well.

I think the term "break through cases" doesn't apply as well to the new variant. You're as healthy as an ox. You'd be in trouble if you weren't and weren't vaccinated. Michigan hospitals are nearing capacity. Get some rest and fluids and plenty of reading.
