Just learned that the brother-in-law contracted COVID. He lives in NYC and received Pfizer back in April. I don't know if he got a booster.
One of my friends who didn't attend the wedding reception because he wouldn't get vaccinated has also contracted the VID. So, we'll see how things play out.
NYC is going DOWN right now. My boss had COVID last week, it seems that everyone I work with who's in NYC (which is a lot, the company is HQ there) is sick with COVID right now. My boss took a picture of the line outside the COVID testing sight by his place in Brooklyn yesterday, and there had to be nearly 100 people lined up down the sidewalk to get in. Everyone I've talked to is vaxxed too. Seems if you were vaxxed in April like a lot of us, you're basically raw dogging it now.
I am starting to think I will be getting OmiCron over the next week. Like Max said, it seems to be extremely contagious, fortunately symptoms aren't typically as severe.
We are going to three family gathering back to back to back, wife's dad's fam on 12/24, mine 12/25, her mom's fam 12/26 (damn divorce = double in-laws this time
).
I am honestly
about the 12/24 gathering. The lot of them save my wife and I are anti-vaxxers in rural NC, we would be in their house with them for at least 2-3 hours. The next day I will be around my 65/68 year old parents and 90+ y.o. grandma. They are vaxxed but I'd still rather not et them sick, particularly old ass g-ma and my dad who seems to have some heart and other issues and isn't doing super well at 68.
I may try to talk the wife into boycotting the 12/24 gathering. If I get COVID on 12/26
, I can just skip seeing the fam for a few weeks after.
