Round 3 for me with COVID-19. I tested positive this morning.
This time I have no clear evidence where I picked it up. I see so few people, but I did spend an hour with an old friend who is about 250-miles from my home and who is 90-years old at his assisted living apartment 1/12/2022 after a hearing I traveled to. The nursing home is just down the hall from the assisted living apartments.
I suspect that is where I contracted it. I hope I didn't bring it in; I thoughtlessly did not wear a mask. But then none of the staff had one on either.
The spread in Delaware County Iowa where I live is "high" according to the regional newspaper. When I tried to call in the result of my rapid test, the response at my doctor's office is the Iowa Department of Public Health is no longer tracking spread. Not sure if the newspaper or CDC relies on hospitalization data, deaths, or other metric to determine the spread is "high."

hopefully a mild case = good luck

I'll be traveling the state this week.  I may get close to Delaware Co in Winthrop - meeting with East Buchanan Telephone

leaving this morning, Carroll, Harlan, Panora, overnight in Ottumwa, then North Liberty tomorrow and overnight in Mason City.

hopefully, the local medical folks and media are simply hyping the "spread is high" a bit.  I doubt I see many masks and I won't be wearing one.

so what are your symptoms

Headache, stuffiness, my internal thermostat is off, minor sweating, coughing, and sneezing, and tearfulness. I am not crying. My eyes are watering to the point of tears having to bewiped away. 

I had the bivalent vaccine in September. This is the worst of the three times I have had it. It might be a function of how long I was exposed, or my advancing age that makes this event the worst of the three. I don't really know.

One family member home on break caught Covid19 just recently.  He was vaccinated with the Moderna product.  His sibling who got a Johnson & Johnson vaccine plus a Pfizer booster did not get Covid. Parents who received the Pfizer vaccines and boosters managed to stay Covid free also.  Breathing same air and in the same living spaces.  I did have some mild symptoms for a couple days but no fever and never tested positive.

Ordinarily I would invite you to lunch if you are this close to my office, but not this week. Let me know if you will be in our area, again.

My wife had it last week.  Basically just worn out, and out of breath easily.  She said the worst part was that she was so physically exhausted, that she used almost no energy, but that because she didn't actually feel that sick, at the end of the day she wasn't tired. So she found herself to physically exhausted to do anything, but couldn't actually sleep either

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.
