Wife and I both got it last week. (U.S.) We're retired and rarely go anywhere with crowds. Well, we're old folks, have all our shots, and it still kicked our butts. I don't want to think about what it would have been like without the vaccination. We had to seek medical assistance. I'm pretty sure, for this reason, it got reported as positive cases. Otherwise, who would have known, aside from ourselves? Bonus point: If you get it and they put you on Paxlovid, you'll really wish you had lost your taste.

I'm a 30-something in the US (New England) and just self-tested positive this morning... I've been pretty cautious so far, except for not getting my Omicron booster yet. I was hoping to do so soon, to get a sustained immunity boost through the winter, but alas... I should've just gotten it before Thanksgiving.

My sister had a mild cough and nasal congestion (she works in schools), so... I expect I was exposed on Wednesday, when she spent a single night passing through. Starting yesterday, I had a fever and splitting headache. Even a little heart flutter, which was weird, but no respiratory symptoms and fever under control with Tylenol. Daily tests now for my partner who works in a hospital - thankfully she's Omicron boosted, and has been testing neg with no symptoms.

I'm young and had my shots and got it back in July. My friend gave it to his wife, and they gave it to me and my gf before they knew they were positive.

We also had to move that weekend with only the four of us sickly people. Chills, headache, cough, fever shot up to 102, etc.

Thankfully I got it when I did, because if I would have gotten covid without being vaxxed 2 years ago, my asthma would have probably sent me to the hospital, or worse.
