I also have family in another midwestern state who all just came down with it. One of the family members was being tested every few days at their job and popped positive without symptoms. They tested the rest of the house and all but one had it with only two of the kids having snotty noses. |

So barring a new mutation that is still capable of spreading and capable of making people really sick (while possible it seems unlikely) this should be the end game for the serious pandemic. As opposed to the nuisance covid which we will be stuck with. |

Dumb question here, but if I'm vaccinated and boosted, can I still (at some point) get a test to see if I've had it in the past? About once every second month I'll get a runny nose or headache that's really mild, and I'm not going to go get tested every time. Most likely it's just due to a weather change or something and it's gone in a day. But at some point during an annual physical it would be nice to know if I can mark "plague survivor" off of my bucket list.

Yeah, my mom wanted to go get an antibody test after she (in all likelihood) had covid. It took me and my wife about 3 days to convince her that she'd be wasting her time and money by doing so because she's vaccinated.

Have to get an antibody test specific to the nucleocapsid instead of spike

So it sounds like the answer is that if it's possible at all, it would cost me more than a pizza to get the right test. I'll live with the uncertainty.

Neither of us expect it to be much (everyone is vaxxed) but are preparing for operating our division on a decently limited staff once everyone starts to get sick from the holiday gatherings. |

Nothing to add really, but they opened a Rapid Test location down the street from me recently and the place has been absolutely packed the last few days. Certainly busier looking than the City/County testing places over the summer/fall. I'm in Los Angeles btw.

I also heard that testing is getting tougher and tougher to schedule, and the at-home tests are sold out all over the place.

Yeesh:
The National Football League had 96 of its players test positive for Covid-19 on Monday, the league announced today. With an additional 10 positive tests among players over the weekend, a total of 106 players have been placed on the league’s Reserve/Covid-19 list since Christmas. The NFL postponed three games last week but has yet to cancel a game so far this season. |

I’m now negative but I still have cold like symptoms. Coughing / Gunk.
My sister / bro in law (vaxxed) are back to normal as is my wife (who still has small loss of taste) My in laws (unvax) just tested negative after 10 days and they are feeling much better. They are planning on vaccinating when they can. 2 cousins tested positive (vaxxed) also mild symptoms. My parents were boosted and had symptoms but wasn’t sure if it was do to vax or exposure to us. It ripped through my family and thankfully no hospitalizations. Hopefully we can claim immunity for a least a season or two. |
