I feel much better now. Basically a days headache was all that Covid was. We stopped the World and destroyed lives for that.

I trusted my immune system and it didn't fail me. Better than any vaccine.

Thing is Alf you're not that old and (I assume) in good health. My daughter is unvaxxed also but she's 12 so she basically had a very mild headache for half a day and then a week of complaining that she couldn't see her pals. Can also officially say at this point (5+ days since she tested negative) that neither me nor my wife caught it from her, despite living with her and not really making her isolate in her room at all ... we just carried on as normal. And she also accidentally spat in my wife's mouth whilst positive. That was a whole thing. The whole story is, they were stood close together face to face and my daughter burst out laughing about something, sending spittle directly into my wife's face. Still no Covid )

My dad on the other hand, is 67 and not in the best health, he had it in February and was very unwell (developed mild pneumonia). He got over it but he's still looking extremely thin, a bit worrying really. Also, when his sister had it (pre-vax back in 2020 - and yes I know that was an "old variant") she legitimately nearly died, was in ICU for 3+ weeks and still isn't right, 18 months later.

On the other hand, my wife's grandma who is nearly 90, very frail, deaf and almost blind has had it something like 3 times and only been mildly ill each time.

There's an element of pot luck it seems.

My brother also has it now and he's feeling worse than I am and he's fully vaxed and boostered. He also keeps himself fit by going to the gym regularly and eats healthier than I do. I'm a heavy smoker who eats crappy food and besides a walk every now and then I do no exercise.

There are some crazy accounts around

That popular online Doctor occasionally has a guest from the US ( I think ) who looks about 25 and he’s a champion mountain biker so he WAS uber- fit . He has had one vaccination but was dreadfully ill ( not Covid) - I can’t recall all the issues he’s experiencing but they are my numerous and life changing - his problems started immediately after the jab and still persist many , many months later ..

Scary

Very interesting and informative !

It was the sheer randomness and the fear of the unknown that was the worst for me for the first two years of Covid

Now symptoms are milder , PLUS we are triple vaxed PLUS we’ve both had it just recently ( Jan 2022) I don’t give it a second thought .


We just have to hope that a crazy new nastier variant doesn’t appear .
