We experienced a 100% infection rate super-spreader event in our circle of four close friends last weekend. A husband in our group traveled for work last week and by end of the week was sick and clearly showing symptoms. His wife felt fine and the rest of our wives still decided to go out for the long-ago planed dinner/drinks Saturday night. To make matters worse they decided to car pool into one SUV. These are all fully vaccinated and boosted adults. My son also went into car (vaccinated) for short ride to babysitter.
By Monday my wife and another one of the wives was feeling symptoms. Tuesday my son stayed home from school with sore throat and by bedtime we were rushing him to the hospital with a 103 fever. He tested positive while at the hospital. Since then every single person in that car has also tested positive through PCR.
I thought I escaped it by isolating from my wife/son in our home but I started to show early symptoms Wednesday morning waking up with splitting headache. I went and got tested that afternoon. By Thursday night I was having itchy throat, chills, fatigue and body aches. Feeling pretty crappy and a crazy symptom I also have been having is uncontrollable hiccups past 24 hours that come and go.
The test I took Wednesday came back negative but the OTC Rapid I did today was positive. I am going for another PCR tomorrow to confirm as the first one was done possibly too early after exposure with no symptoms.
IF this is the Omicron that went through our vaccinated group like butter, we are going to be in a very bad spot by mid-january.
- phyalow 5y agoAgreed, I was at a Xmas dinner party last Saturday with 9 people, all who were double vax'd with Pfizer and 7 of the 9 were previously infected either last year or earlier this year - in short as a group we should have been close to maximum theoritical immunity (all of us are 35 or under too). Everyone at Dinner except myself (somehow) has now contracted Covid again (confirmed via PCR and Antigen testing). Its just nuts, I am buying SPY puts ;)
