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.
