…since I got my shot several months back. If there even is a booster this early.

Other than that, the usual applies: masks, handwashing, etc.

not sure what it is. I almost never get seriously sick but would always get the common cold. After Covid I didn't get that either as I continued to mostly wear a mask.

But for some reason I came down with something recently and the cough is really bad. I think it is becsuse I was exposed to very cold air and for about a month I was driving with the car heater not working.

Call your doc for advice. I came down with RSV before the vax came out and was sick as a dog — worst cough I ever had: it got close to making me throw up. Sorry if that’s TMI, but don’t mess with it.


Get well soon.

about 15 years ago with the flu even though I had the flu shot early in the fall. They said I had a flu
not included in the flu shot. My luck, which at that time was no luck at all.

I am mostly staying home. I even bought a new gym membership which I am not using because of the risk.

I also got the flu shot, but will do the same as Hekate posts above. I will call my doctor about a booster.

If I do have to shop, I go at oddball hours and wear a mask; gloves too.

since Covid. I use Kroger's "Click list", where you place your order online, then pick it up (they bring it to your car)
at the pre-arranged time. What you do is a good way to protect yourself. If I had no alternative, I would do it like
you do. Hell, I used to do my grocery shopping in the middle of the night, but since Covid, they don't stay open
24 hours anymore. I'm basically a hermit now. That's a shame about your gym membership.

But I actually enjoy grocery shopping. Plus, I am super picky about the produce.

Yours is probably the safer solution, however.

I had a year-old pup I’d just adopted, and I sounded so miserable laying on the couch that she brought me her biscuit to see if that would help. ❤️

all of my friends have been hit with that or Norovirus this winter. I haven't yet (a little bit luck AND vaccine).

Almost everyone I know that was vaccinated got sick. Went right through the school's. It probably lessens the degree of illness. But some years then flu wins and this appears to be one of those years.

Both fought off the flu successfully over the last few weeks. She was down and out a couple days, but not severe at all. I was just tired for a few days.

She was really sick there for a few days. She even went to the doctor and both the flu and covid tests came back negative. So it must just be some other sort of virus I suppose. She's feeling better now, but is still coughing a lot.
