My anecdata is similar. A constant 2 week cycle of getting mildly sick, recovering, and then getting mildly sick again. Dr said there's a ton of it going around.
- fullstop 4y agoI'm well past the elementary school (and younger) age, but this wasn't uncommon when my kids were that age.
- treis 4y agoLike the sibling comment I've also been sick more often these last few months than I have in recent memory. Kiddo has been at daycare/preschool for a couple years now. AFAICT it's a real phenomenon.
- floppydiskette 4y agoExact same anecdote for me. I’ve been sick every two weeks, then one week recovered, and repeat for the past 3 months or so. I’ve been sick more in 3 months than in 5 years. It’s very odd. Never tested positive.
- y-c-o-m-b 4y agoYep, we are also on a 2-3 week cycle. My family is currently sick in fact. We've yet to test positive for covid, ever. I'm at this weird place now where I just want to get it over with, but at this point it's like we can't catch covid even if we tried, due to the queue of other crap the kids are coming home with.
- TurningCanadian 4y agoI don't think you can "get it over with" in any sort of permanent way. Antibodies acquired through vaccination or previous infection helped with Omicron, but they wane significantly over a few months. Similar things are happening with newer variants.
- Izkata 4y agoWhat you want is to provoke a T-cell response, so your body can make new antibodies as needed, and it doesn't matter if they fade.
- benibela 4y agoRecently I went back in the office, and got sick within a week Then it took a month to recover
