So do you think you're eventually going to get Covid?

I work with the wildly close talking, personal space invading, unvaccinated population, so I am sure I will. I just hope that since we are masked all the time and I am fully vaxxed and boosted that it will be a mild case and I don’t spread it to anyone else. My biggest worry is that I won’t know about an exposure since it presents like a cold which are rampant in little kids this time of year. I don’t know a small child who doesn’t have a runny nose or cough apron a pretty much consistent basis this time of year.
I cannot wait until the under 6 set can be vaccinated.

im actually suprised it’s not higher - I assume you’ve seen the latest graph for New York - it is through the roof!

To answer question - yes I assume I’ll get it - I’m also assuming it will be mild or I won’t even notice it. At this point I’m moving on - vaccinated, boosted, masking but I’m traveling, seeing friends - taking reasonable precautions.

I may get it. A lot of people have gotten infected despite being triple-vaxxed and cautious. I am back now to simply not doing anything indoors without a mask (restaurants) until the Omicron wave cools off.

I think I had COVID at the very beginning (I had something consistent with COVID and I am rarely sick, and my husband and oldest kid had the same thing — he developed heart problems that he had never had soon afterwards, and my oldest was having trouble breathing sick enough that they went to the doctor, but the doctor only tested for flu because they did not have a known exposure and that was how it was handled at the time (they tested negative for the flu). Since none of us were tested, we will never know, and we’re all triple-vaccinated now.

I think it is likely. Vaxed and boosted. My state has a mask mandate.I mask. Limit public exposure. But I teach in a school where parents and students hide positives, wear masks under their noses and chins, pull down their masks to talk, cough and sneeze. It’s a losing battle.

I'm coming to that realization.  I'd love to protect a vulnerable member in our home but with dh working in a large facility and dd in long term care, it's almost impossible. 

Three of us our getting our booster shot tomorrow.  One family member already has a booster. That should help.  Dh has decided not to get the booster at this time which I hate. He doesn't want to get a shot every 6 months or so to accommodate each new variant.  I get that but he's in his 60s and has had several bouts of pneumonia.  Hopefully, he will change his mind. He does take social distancing, masking, hand washing etc very seriously. 

Yes, I think so. Who knows, I may have already had it and had no symptoms. SO and I have our boosters. We still haven’t eaten inside a restaurant or been to a crowded big event, and we still wear a mask inside public places. But we are not isolating. We still go shopping, we meet friends for an outdoor meal, and we go to the gym. I have allergies, so maybe one of the days I had nose issues was Covid. I am just counting on the vaccine to its job, and if I catch it, it will hopefully be mild.

I am pretty sure I had it at the very beginning when it was still new and there was no testing. In February 2020, I went to Vegas with some family, and ended up sick my last day. At the time, I first thought it was allergies from all the smoke that is every where. But I ended up being sick off and on for about 3 weeks, and was just starting to finally feel somewhat back to normal in late March when everything shut down. I lost my sense of taste when I was sick, but at the time, I had no idea that was a symptom of Covid.

I have been vaccinated and will get my booster at the end of the first week of January. I wear a mask, and while I do think I will at some point get Covid, I hope that the precautions I take will make it a mild case. I do think at some point, everyone is going to get it. There are too many people who refuse to get vaccinated, and it's just going to keep mutating. I will get boosters as long as they are necessary.

Thank you for that article. I don't have one to back me up so I'll chalk it up to things I read and heard early on, which I consider pre-vaccine. 


I just know that it's a matter of when, not if we will all get a form of Covid. 

Yes, I think so too. My SIL got it last week. Also fully vaxed. Not a go to the hospital case but felt quite sick. I can just imagine what it will do to the non vaxed.

I also read that the best ones to wear are the blue disposable ones.

i think we will eventually all get it too.

I’m vaxxed and boosted and before I was diagnosed with EGPA on Thanksgiving, I would have said I wouldn’t get it. However, now I’m spending a lot of time in hospitals at appointments AND I’m getting chemo to wipe out my immune system, I’m terrified to get COVID and despite being careful feel like I will eventually get it at some point. .

I think I probably had it very early on but didn't know, and developed antibodies. Plus I'm vaxed and boosted. The two times I felt crappy enough to get tested, I was negative for Covid but (oddly) positive for strep. Without usual strep symptoms.

I have been exposed multiple times including a few times direct in the face exposure though I did have on a surgical mask. Nothing. DH was directly exposed at a business dinner, nothing--he probably developed antibodies early on from exposure to me.

I think I'm immune at this point, so good for me, but I sure would welcome a two week quarantine or however long I could stretch it out for as long as I didn't die. But even then, no one need feel bad for me, as it meant permanent retirement. 😁

As far as long Covid, I get what I call "Rona flares" from time to time that are fatigue, body aches, and often my skin is very sensitive to the touch. Then it passes after a couple days. I presume that is my body's immune response and I'm never going to get rid of that. DH gets the same thing from time to time (he's also vaxed and boosted).
