Seems to be. Mrs. P developed symptoms first and is almost completely 
better after a week. I'm on the mend. While it hasn't been pleasant, 
we've definitely had worse experiences of viral or bacterial nature. 
We're both fully vaccinated, and that's supposed to reduce symptoms. So I 
credit the vax for some of this, but there's obviously no way to verify 
and deniers gonna deny. We also both got Paxlovid, so some credit may go 
to that as well. As long as we don't end up with the long version, this 
hasn't been horrific. I'd still rate the experience a 0/5 WOULD NOT 
CONTRACT AGAIN, of course.
