Also finally caught it. I had a flu/cold general winter shitness last week, then misses got actual C19 for the first time last week, hit her really hard for a few days, now clear enough to function. Then few days ago I also got the C19, so i'm now over 2 weeks of being knocked sideways. Annoying more than anything as December is a busy and action packed month for me!
Quite amazing managed near 3 full years without getting it, either of us, me customer facing + travel around a lot, and my misses is healthcare, patient facing, about 20 cm from the general populations faces 20 times a day.
Vaccines + years of it adapting means whilst having flu/C19 isn't fun, it was not as horrific as many have experienced over the years.
BTW anyone on the paxlovid trials, prepare for your mouth to taste like a super concentrated version of the smell you get when you open a fresh (?!) box of latex gloves mixed with babysick on a hot plastic seat. It doesn't come from the taste of the pill touching your mouth, more the way it affects smell + taste receptors, genuinely horrible.
