If this is posted in the wrong place, I am sorry. I just needed to reach as many people as I can with what I am seeing going on.
I am over 60 years old and in my 60 some years I can count on my one hand how many people I know who have had pneumonia.
Right now, there are seven people I know with pneumonia.
My 12-year-old grandson, his mother and father (not vaxxed). Two of my friends (not vaxxed) and the 45-year-old owner of our company and his 12-year-old son (both vaxxed).
Doctors have told them all it is not contagious so they could not spread it.
My son-in-law told me that all his family members who attended the Christmas Eve party all went home sick with Covid/pneumonia (most of them vaxxed.) My husband I and I were there and fine so far.
It seems the ones not vaxxed are sick for a day or so and the vaxxed are unable to recover.
My office has other people who are sick with Covid/flu. I have NEVER seen this degree of sickness even during normal flu season.
Just wondering if others were experiencing this weird amount of sickness.
My wife came down with a pretty bad cold about two weeks ago. She mostly recovered, and then I came down with it beginning on Monday. It has been a very weird version of a "cold". Normally, I would start a cold with a sore throat, leading to head congestion, runny nose, etc. leading to a cough. This time, it started with a cough, and when I thought whatever it was was going away, it went into full-blown "cold" mode. Yesterday I sneezed more than I ever have in my life, and went through a couple boxes of cleanex! I feel like I may have turned the corner, and just hope it doesn't move back to the cough stage! If I did get it from my wife, it means the incubation period is VERY long (perhaps a week?), which would seem to make this optimized to spread far and wide, since people, myself included, would believe they WON'T get it when around someone who has it if they don't come down with any symptoms within a few days.
Thank you I am trying to see what is going on in other places.
