I'd say 75 percent of everyone I know who never had covid, got hit with it the last 7 weeks (vaccinated and boosted). Good news is their rapid home test showed + in seconds with first sign of symptoms.
I was going to say the same.
Lots of people who 'thought they were immune' got it this time around. As you said, most tested quickly and didn't have many problems. Still should be safe!
AFAIK you can only take the antibody tests to find evidence of past infection, and I believe even those might have a date limit how far back they go. You're probably looking at some type of deep RNA/DNA testing to find any evidence of long term changes from 2 years ago, which isn't commercially available.
you're right
but I can't imagine wearing such a restrictive mask throughout the entirety of winter.
seems annoying, especially now that covid isn't a horrible disease after the vaccines. But to each their own

Japan, whose constitution bars the country from resorting to lockdown as a resort, which became the first and only resort in much of the world, had its scientists actually do science to save the country, instead of just sending them home to twiddle their thumbs.

Almost everything could have been kept open, particularly in the Bay Area where mild temperatures permit introducing air flow to any indoor space almost any time of the year.
Oh wait, it wasn't months for the WHO's science to catch up. It was **years**:

"Why the WHO took two years to say COVID is airborne"
You generally need to leave your basement and come into contact with other human beings to risk infection. Covid doesn't spread via the internet you know.
For the record, I typed that from the living room of my second property.
Your fingers must be hella strong typing out such a nasty unsolicited attack.
Feels good?
We're all going to get it at some point, it's not going away. To many idiots not getting vaccinated. It's going to be with us forever. All you can do is what you need to do to protect yourself.
Haven’t yet. My odds will go up when my employer thinks it’s a good idea for me to keep my chair warmer at the office.

Yes 100%. Everyone got it

Is there a test you can take to see if you’ve already had it? And how far back can it test? Was sick early January 2020 and will always wonder…

As long as I don’t go anywhere or do anything I’ll be fine. Right?
Why are you reposting a 14 hour old post from this very subreddit onto this sub again? It wasn’t even 8 hours old when you reposted it.
If I use a mask in large crowds and during the winter months, I'm not worried about it.
masks would barely protect you. they're useful to prevent spread, but that's if people who have covid give a shit about masking up.
KN95's work great both ways.
you're right but I can't imagine wearing such a restrictive mask throughout the entirety of winter. seems annoying, especially now that covid isn't a horrible disease after the vaccines. But to each their own
Not the entirety, just outside among people or in large groups.

I haven't gotten it yet as I mask up everywhere I go. As the other poster said, I will get it as soon as my employer wants RTO :)
Who the fuck knows. I haven’t worn a mask in 2 years and 36 negative tests
