i had it this past march after a weekend of living like covid never existed. i even told my wife that if i don't get covid after that weekend, i'm never getting it. sure enough by that tuesday i had symptoms. not bad. 3 days of feeling lousy, and if i didn't know covid existed, i likely would have taken day quill and gone to work. i was vaxed and boosted, but not since october.
i'll likely get a booster this fall when i get a flu shot. i'm just too in people's faces not to. about 5 years ago, i was absolutely destroyed by the flu. one week of not being able to get out of bed. the next week i went back to work, but couldn't breathe. i developed pneumonia as a result of the flu, but felt great in comparison. i felt much better the week after that, but was completely fatigued for another week or two. an entire month of my life was spent sick, and that's something i'm completely not used to. for me getting the booster is hopefully avoiding that, and not missing work. i just can't afford to be sick for weeks again.
viruses are weird. they can barely hit you, or you can be completely leveled. i just heard too many stories about healthy people being sick for weeks. from a work standpoint...forget it.
