    I fell victim to this over Christmas. Had spent a few months laying low, online shopping, no unnecessary peopleing and then the coughing group of dead eyed relatives with their kids descended on us. Both me and my partner have been sick now for 12 days, despite all the boosters.

      Yeah, the boosters can’t hurt, but unfortunately they are always behind the current strain. My partner and I have gotten vaccines every 6 or so months, keeping up with every new version. She also got covid for the second time the week before Christmas because people refuse to stay home when sick. They will acknowledge they are sick and openly admit it as they walk into an enclosed space with healthy people, obviously without a mask.

      Thankfully she is negative now, but still feeling the lingering effects. It’s really not worth it, we are going back into hobbit mode and just gonna hunker down with our cats.

      Hope you and yours start to feel better soon!
