    Have you or a family member living with you been hit by COVID at any time? Also, would love to know if you have been vaccinated and to what extent? Only if you want to share of course. Just curious how it affected/effected our S2 family.

    As for me and my family none of us have ever tested positive. We are currently 2 booster shots in family wide. We have lost around 5 or 6 close friends or family members though.

    Had it twice. Once in February 2020 (before it was “allegedly” in the US, which we know it was here well before March 2020 closures) and once in February 2022.

    First time sucked, couldn’t lift my head off a pillow for 3-4 days. Exhausted for a week or two and needed a nap or two every day for a month. Second time (after vax), I was in Hawaii and just felt super tired for a day. Tested positive for 15 days so they wouldn’t let me fly home. First test I took, the positive line was bright pink in 2 seconds, well before the control line even turned pink.

    I’ve had three boosters, but haven’t boosted in a long time. Wife and group of friends recently had COVID when I went back to Oregon to visit them, but I never had any symptoms so I never tested.

    Caught it from some wench in an eastern port city last fall.

    But it's nothing a little penicillin can't fix.

    Oh! Never mind.

    Thought you said syphilis.

    When the wife and our friends recently had COVID, two were hospitalized for 24-36 hours. Wife has had a couple serious health issues the doctor says they’ve been seeing in people right after they’ve had COVID. That shit is wonky.

    My wife and oldest both have had it. Locked them each in a bedroom for 5 days so the youngest and I didn't catch it. We have all been vaccinated and boosted. They both were tired and headaches but that was it. I know a client who had it and it messed up his lungs. Doctors gave him less then a year.

    Yep. Had it once in the thick of the pandemic. 4 of the 7 in our household got it. We were playing basketball all but the first 6 mos of the pandemic, so we expected to get it at some point.

    We were already vaccinated. It was like a bad head cold.

    We're all fully vaccinated up to last flu season.

    My wife, son and I had it all around the same time at the end of last year. We are all vaccinated and it was very mild.

    Had it thanksgiving day of last year.

    My worst symptom was the muscle aches. Holy crap that was rough. Other than that, just lethargy. Thank God for the vaccinations and boosters or who knows. It's because of those that mine was more mild, in my opinion.

    I’ve never had it nor has my wife. Not that we know of anyway. We both have had 3 booster shots. Mom and stepdad had it once. My dad has had it 3 times. All vaccinated.

    If vaccines are so great why isn't there one for herpes?

    Asking for @THE HCP.

    I've had it twice, once in late January 2020 (right after the company's Wuhan office reps came over), and once in February of this year. The first time was hell, had a fever for four days, couldn't hardly walk around the block for months after. Could barely function or think for a month. February of this year was annoying but not even 20% as bad.

    I had the J&J vaccine and a booster. I need to get another this month.

    Got it Easter weekend '22. Felt sick for about a day. Vaxxed as soon as I was allowed (Spring '21), boosted as soon as was allowed (November '21?), second booster March of this year (a couple months before my Israel trip).

    Wife and I haven’t as yet caught covid.
    Been vaxed with 3 boosters.
    Some of our kids had it but not to bad. One 2 year old granddaughter had it, pretty sick but is ok.
    Lost two gal cousins both in 50’s and both had asthma.
