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. -- Opus the Penguin The best darn penguin in all of Usenet -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG antivirus software. www.avg.com
