So, getting back to the virus...
I think Peter and others have covered the typical symptoms very well but I just want to comment about the spread. I attended the family xmas (superspreader) event on xmas eve (the in-laws are German) where everyone was double vaxed. On xmas day a niece developed symptoms, so went and had a PCR test. The results came back positive, on New Years eve which triggered a further round of tests. We were tested on NYE and got the negative results only on 8/1.
In brief, she infected her two sisters but
not her mother, two aunts, their partners, her grandmother and a few family friends. Of 5 children too young to be vaccinated only 2 were infected - despite all the mothers being positive. None of the 5 vaccinated children were infected. I also know of another case of infected parents not passing it on to their young children.
This is not what I expected. The publicity about omicron would suggest that most people present should have been infected rather than just 2 of 12 adults. I fully accept that omicron is very infectious and clearly spreading like wildfire but it is not as infectious as my fear made it.
