I’ve had it 3 times: I had the two vaccinations, one booster and this years annual booster, but I believe I missed one. I’ve generally had a strong immune system, but am definitely reaching an age where I can no longer just assume good health

1. First was worst. I realized it wasn’t a cold when I couldn’t smell the curry I was making. I ran a fever for a couple of days and was actively sick more than a week - that was before vaccinations existed
2. Second was just like a cold for several days. I believe I ran a brief fever from symptoms but missed it with the thermometer
3. Third was I think a day or two, caught on the flight back from seeing family this past Thanksgiving. The biggest problem was the test and trying to self-quarantine. It’s much harder when you don’t feel sick
4. My kids had it twice more, from school, but I avoided it despite keeping them home from school and being around them all day

While it continues to affect us, there really seems to be a progression where it’s less and less
