There's a fair bit of masking or luck involved in that at this point. The current crop of COVID vaccines don't prevent disease for more than a few months.
I just avoid most people. But with two young kids, yes, we are lucky. Not a single case of covid in our household.
Probably doesn't hurt that we are all vaccinated, remind our kids to wash every time they come inside from playing, do most play with others outside (playground, bike ridesz etc), and I work from home about 95% of the time.
I still do so 99% of the time I'm indoors in public, and I'm usually the only one. I used to have an issue when cloth masks were still a thing because inhaling would pull it against my face and trigger claustrophobic reactions. But ever since the pre-formed duckbill N95s became widely available it's a non-issue. I even use them for mowing the lawn to stave off allergies. If a fat old man can breathe just fine doing yard work in an N95, the snowflakes bitching about paper surgical masks restricting their oxygen are full of shit.
For what it's worth, you most likely had much more mild symptoms for a much shorter duration because you were vaccinated! But I still apologize, getting sick sucks.
I assure you it was still dreadful, I found a playlist of every episode of the Kirby TV show and watched it over the course of a few days while phasing in and out of reality. It was pretty uncomfortable when I was conscious
I got it about five or six months after getting the first round of boosters after traveling for work. I was fucking exhausted for four or five days and couldn't start awake for more than a few hours. Still planning on getting this round because it would be nuts not to.
