54. At least twice

Nov 2023

I surely had it early March 2020, as I live in the first neighborhood in NYC to have it then. I barely got symptoms, but extremely scary as the proper treatment hasn't been found and I had survived being on a ventilator back in 2001 for 17 days. So there was an emotional strain both from knowing how serious that is and how totally scatter small brained TFG was during the crisis. Then I got it again in December 2021 very soon after my late booster December of that year. Thankfully no serious effects. I got the Novavax booster this year and I'm hoping it's effects are longer lasting than the mRNA ones.
