I've had seven in my immediate (folks I speak with regularly) fam circle..


get it since late December. Four vaxxed (two of those four being "boosted"), three unvaxxed (one of which unvaxxed was a "second" infection following initial COVID infection last Spring). There were no significant differences in duration or severity for any of the cases, except that the youngest (12 y/o) had the mildest case, and the oldest unvaxxed (50s) and last to get it is only on day three (four?) so jury still out but so far sounds similar. Overall most common symptoms were headache, head congestion and sore throat, mild fever. None of the seven cases looks or sounds to have been any worse than the very bad cold that I had just after Thanksgiving... and most of them sound like they weren't as bad. I know of a handful of other cases across my family (I have a pretty large family) but they're not in folks I talk to frequently.

Breakdown (omitting details that might "out" anybody):

1) 12y/o, healthy unvaxxed-- very mild. Sniffles, slight fever, 1-2 days
2) Early 20s, healthy unvaxxed, allergy/asthma sufferer, second case-- mild head congestion, low grade fever, headache for one day; nasal congestion persisted for 2-3 days
3) Early 20s, moderately overweight but otherwise healthy, vaxxed no boost-- no specific details but told case was mild and over "in a couple of days"
4) Late 30s, healthy, vaxxed no boost-- "like a mild cold... Cough hung on for a few days"
5) 50s, generally healthy, unvaxxed, allergy and asthma sufferer, one other possible comorbidity-- "bad cold to mild flu-like".. sounded like moderately miserable with 101 fever and congestion for first 24-48 hours and then significantly improved.
6&7) both late '60s vaxxed and boosted, no comorbidities (I think). Fairly bad cough, congestion, headache, low fever, some nausea. Both had monoclonals, I was talking about a week to get over.
