My luck finally ran out. Back home from France on Wednesday. Started feeling sketchy Thursday night, left work early on Friday and tested positive today, most of the typical cold/flu symptoms, but thankfully no shortness of breath. Wife woke up today feeling it as well. Obviously I can’t say where we picked it up but surely airports, train stations, and the associated vehicles add to the risk. Merry Christmas!

Got my Moderna bivalent booster and Flu shot in mid November at the same time.  (Purposely waited until mid November to have the shots kick in at maximum effect over the holidays.) Immediate soreness in the arm at the injection site, but nothing beyond that. I had a mild-but-longer-lasting cold but tested negative for COVID last week.

Turns out, my wife and I got Covid also.  Mild symptoms started around 12/19 and we tested positive at that time, and have now tested negative.  She lost, and is regaining, her senses of taste and smell.  I have some residual congestion.  Neither of us got any medical care.  This sure made me tired, that's for sure.

I think we're 95% better by now.

Yes we are, and thanks for asking. Glad it seems to have been fairly mild for you and your wife. Taste and smell loss was only a couple of day thankfully. We also had some lingering congestion. I believe I’m 100% back to normal.
