And you may have actually already had it—remember, many people don't have major symptoms. My only symptom was a really light headache, which I wouldn't even have tested if not for mandatory requirements at school.

The reality at this point is that most everyone's going to get it—the hope is that it will become less impactful/more flu-like.

The symptoms that the fam and I had were non-respiratory, (i.e., sore throat, head cold, body aches). Both my wife's doctor and my daughter's MD coworkers at Concord Hospital have indicated that the 'rona that seems to be infecting people right now is mostly non-respiratory with symptoms very similar to what we experienced.

My wife and I both experienced mild symptoms such as you describe.
Mainly just a feeling of being tired and sniffles and felt well enough to do household chores and outside work. Being older, we are supposed to be in a higher risk category, but we chose not to be vaccinated
We're both healthy,take vit A,C,D and zinc and are careful to avoid close contact and group gatherings.

The increasingly prevalent Omicron mutation is much more easily spread but fortunately seems less likely to produce serious disease. This is a partial explanation for “everyone” seeming to get a mild case, vaccinated or not.

The next variant will not necessarily be so benign.
