Altogether I've had three shots of Moderna, and so far I have not had covid. But I don't think those two facts are related, because the vaccines only reduce the risk of severe illness and death. I could still catch covid and pass it on.

Thankfully I have not. Got the original 2 shots and 2 Boosters and they seem to be protecting me quite nicely. I even work part-time at an Elementary School along side many teachers and staff members and even students who have tested positive since it all began. The school tests us every Friday and I have always had negative results. I have chosen to continue to wear a mask for the 3 hours that I am on site as it is now an option for both staff and students. I hope and pray that my luck continues when school starts back in August. I have continued to mask when shopping at stores and keep my distance where very few do anymore. I have also gone back to a couple of indoor restaurants and luckily and thankfully haven't caught anything.

Wishing that everyone here stays safe and well!

TG, thanks for that information about Italy...

So far, so good ...

Masks:
We, too, were in Italy - two weeks last month - and found little mask usage. When we arrived at Fiumicino Airport we wore FFP2 grade masks only to be told by an airport official that they weren't mandatory.

Subsequently, the only locations we saw several people wearing masks (of any style) were supermarkets: Sabaudia (west coast, south of Rome) and Ceglie Messapica (Puglia). There were some wearers in towns (e.g. Lecce (Puglia)) but far from common.

Not yet, knock on wood - still masking everywhere, wiping down groceries/purchases with Lysol, washing all produce, and limiting contacts still. It's something you can still get more than once, and is not like a cold of flu because it attacks T-Cells.

Anyways, I have three doses of vaccine, and health care is provincial here in Canada - we're expecting the approval of 4th doses for those under 60 in the fall.

Just tested positive today. Feeling pretty rough to be honest, but have had all the vaccines available so hopefully that will stave off the worst of the effects.

I've avoided it in spite of being in close contact with my daughter who had it. I'm fully vaxed and double boosted. My poor daughter has had a lingering cough that will not go away. I feel very fortunate.

I've not had it. And I'm in a very public facing job, where I got tested every other week.

I have not had it, despite sharing a house and bed with my spouse who had it last month for the first time. Her family keeps catching it, though. My brother in law works as the regional sales manager for a popular energy beverage and we had to cancel 4th of July festivities because he came down with Covid following a return from Atlanta.

I read that cases are shooting up worldwide (esp. Europe), with that & all the problems at airports, I'm thinking that it's stay at home holidays again.

Sorry to hear that. Glad you're vaxed! The latest strain is far more contagious but presumably not as serious.

My husband and I have had the two original shots and then the two booster shots. In early June after attending a party, my husband got covid. It was a very mild case.

I did not catch it, but then I relegated him to the other side of the house and held up crucifixes if he came near me.


If the crucifixes kept him at bay, you might consider wooden stakes next. wink

Haven't had it yet, both doses of Moderna, no booster. I work in education too so it's a little surprising considering how many people I know who have had it. I was sick as a dog in November 2021 but it was a stomach flu (horrible nausea, couldn't even keep water down for a day or so). I've also heard that the rates are going up. I live in an area where a good portion of people are actively anti-government so any sort of mask mandates have long since disappeared, events are back to pre-lockdown attendance levels, and restaurants and bars are all completely back to normal with no seating or masking restrictions even at the big chains.

I love it when humanity en masse pokes a finger in Mother Nature's chest.
We are practically begging to be wiped out.

The 'rona ain't got me yet, dagnabbit...!

(and I haven't worn a mask anywhere but public transit since late May of 2021).

I don't think I've had it. Never been tested so not sure.

I showed no symptoms when Mrs Jehannum had it in 2020. This year I caught a bad cough from her; she tested negative 3 times so I suppose it was just a bad cough.

Don’t recall seeing you around much, lately, J - been on sabbatical or was I just unlucky?

We tested a lot initially, as we were concerned about Mrs TG’s mild asthma causing problems, but in the event the strain we caught didn’t exacerbate it. I wasn’t sure if we were doing the testing correctly until I got a positive!

Nope.

I've had it twice, with and without vaccine.

I just hope the long term effects won't affect me very much.

Alex
