(9,257 posts)1. My friend's fully vaxxed, healthy 16 yo son has Covid
Mild case, like a cold with loss of taste and smell. Hes vigilant about wearing a mask, but his school district has RWNJ morons on the school board and now masks are optional.
My grandson (2nd grade) missed a week of school with the flu. His teacher said there were 7 kids in his class out with Covid. Grandson is vaxxed and actually had Covid last year (before vaccines) so I hope hes got some immunity now. And despite the idiots on our school board, hes good about wearing his mask at school.

contract Omicron he'll be WAY ahead of the game and less likely to have lasting effects or serious illness.
