@AlexKale17 Thank you!! Iโm so happy to be feeling healthy again. Definitely donโt mean to fear-monger with this thread (thx to vax+booster I was never deeply worried, even while very sick). Lots about our cases didnโt play out like the CDC describes though, so wanted to share details here.
Just wanted to share my experience 4 anyone curious. Good news is Iโm recovered๐๐ผ, and my sister and fiancรฉ are on their way. But this latest variant seems to be a whole new beast and I would NOT want to get it again. If youโre still being cautious, youโre doing the right thing!
Ironically and unrelatedly, my sister and her fiancรฉ are currently fighting COVID. Theyโre also young, healthy and 3x mRNA vaxxed but both have really nasty cases with high fever and even respiratory trouble (my sister has no asthma hx & is newly prescribed multiple inhalers).
@thecindyxiong So so sorry you have been through this at all, let alone more than once. Very glad that you are physically unharmed, but this is a terrible thing to experience ๐
everyone works to make figures that are easy to understand, but this one took me a minute (I thought it was a graphics mistake) and that made the point even stronger
@ToddHorowitz3 @duane_g_watson My sister can confirm this. She did an astrophysics grad degree on string theory and said it was SOP to have non-academic astro-hobbyists attend conferences and confront her with very intense/wild/insane questions during her presentations ๐
@MarieSpiker @projectn95 I heard that if you mail a mask to one person and then add six more addresses to your mask-share list you will receive thirty six masks in return! ๐ท๐ท๐ท๐ท๐ท๐ท
@AlexKale17 So sorry to hear about this reaction :( People are definitely tiredโฆmy family also got super defensive about their decisions to proceed (boosted and with lots of testing) and I donโt think theyโre *wrong*. My thing is, this wave will likely be over quickly, so why risk it now?
