The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

It's wild that the people who most often say "your experience isn't universal" then follow up with their experience and try to push that as universal.

Note to self- if you're traveling internationally with a bunch of high school kids and you end up in giant crowds repeatedly over the course of a few weeks, you are going to end up with the flu. Or COVID.

Or both.

That sucks. Get well soon.

That story seems kind of apocryphal. How reliable should we really consider it?

Bummer. I hope you feel better soon, Snarf.

Am I the only one who hasn't had Covid-19 yet?

I know a number of people who managed to avoid it until 2023 (myself and younger daughter, included)... and then got it with one of the newer strains.

I've somehow managed to avoid covid so far, despite my wife and daughter both getting hit with it and my generally having the weakest constitution of the three of us. I even work at a university, which is basically a breeding ground for every bug under the sun.

I did get swine flu in grad school once, way back in the day. Couldn't recommend it.

To my knowledge, my wife, son and I have not had it yet. If we have, it was asymptomatic for all three of us.

My sister-in-law just tested negative a few days ago after getting both covid and the flu together.

I have avoided it so far. One of the times when my isolation is an advantage. My mother, my brother, and (I think) one of my sisters got it.

Never tested positive but I had 2 weeks, a couple of months before lockdown, during which I was having difficulty breathing and by blood glucose has been reading rather high, since a friend left after visiting from the US for Christmas. No foreseeable reason for the high blood sugar readings.
