Two of three kids were symptomatic / tested positive a little over a week ago. Suspect that they got it from the third kid who only showed mild symptoms and wasn't tested. None of the symptoms were severe for any.

Luckily for me, this was all while they were at their mom's house, and all kids were asymptomatic / testing negative before I got them last Thurs.

So far my wife and I seem to have avoided COVID. If we've ever had it, we were asymptomatic. Haven't taken any more boosters since the first booster (3rd shot total) at the very end of 2021.
Everyone has had it.

TWICE.

We're probably not too far off from this becoming true. :)

I know I had SOMETHING back in Spring 2020, because I had a persistent cough that lingered for 3-4 months, and I absolutely NEVER get a cough.  At the time, the persistent lingering cough was one of the hallmarks of the initial strains of COVID.

And then I tested positive for it in June 2022, very mild symptoms, just felt like allergies.

So, yeah, I'll go ahead and say I've had it twice. ;)


The flu I got in the first week of November, on the other hand, was pretty rough.  Sore, achy body, headaches, fever, chills, that all lasted several days.  I've always said I didn't think I'd ever had the flu, and now I know I was right (pre-Nov) because I've definitely never felt anything like that.

I'm predicting you will get it in June 2023.

I'd love to get it again.  Best sleep I've had in my adult life, got a week off work. 

No other symptoms other than severe congestion at night for the first couple nights.  

But MAN was that covid-sleep A++

General anesthesia is a much better sleep. That 8-hour spinal surgery I had was great.

I don't count general anesthesia as "sleep." 

That's a medically-induced coma that an anesthesiologist/nurse anesthetist hopes they can pull you out of.

Never failed so far. Probably been under 10+ times by now, for various amounts of time.

That was the worst part, my sleep was awful.  I felt like death for about 24 hours, and the body aches and chills kept me up.  Then I generally felt better, but the persistent cough kept me up.

Granted I'm a very light sleeper to begin with, to the point that I unplug everything in a hotel room, because even an unfamiliar fridge hum keeps me up

Have you tried Jim Beam or Johnny Walker? Both will set you up

5 for me. 

I'm wary of it because 1) anesthesia has a cumulative effect over a lifetime, the more times we're under, the greater risk we're at for memory loss/gaps in memory/learning retention problems, and 2) while every surgery/situation is different, in general it's by far the riskiest part of surgery.  If you read the fine print, they're pretty honest that if they put you under, they have no guarantees they can get you back.  We literally sign our life away in those forms we fill out.  

That said, it's still a minimal risk statistically speaking.  Never had problems, don't know anyone who has, and I have an old buddy and also a cousin's wife who are both anesthesiologists, and they've never had a problem with their patients that I know of.  Like most things, age and other health conditions change the risk factor quite a bit, and we have multiple patients either we as PCP or their cardiologists refuse to clear for surgery.  If PCPs or cardiology dropped the ball more, or surgeons didn't get clearances when warranted, we'd undoubtedly hear about failure to revive surgical patients more often.  

Safe as it is, I don't take it lightly.

Covid cheated you.  You should get it again and make it do it right.
