So, my idiot Uncle came up from Massachusetts to visit my parents last week. He's the only family they or I have seen since COVID started, hasn't been up here since last fall.

I was over their house most of last weekend doing yardwork for them, and we did a bunch of grilling and had some beers. My Uncle seemed kind of stuffed up and was coughing, he said it was just allergies. He had been staying at my parent's place for 2 days already before I came over, so at that point they were already fucked.

My Mom started feeling off on Sunday and had a fever, my father didn't show symptoms until a couple of days later. They finally went out and got tests on Friday and were both positive. After hearing my parents got sick, my Uncle took a test and was also positive.

I was around all of them more than enough to get infected, but so far nothing a full 7 days after the last time I saw any of them.

My mother was only sick from Sunday to Wednesday, the old man was a couple days behind but it seems at this point he's past the worst of it and is on the downside. He did have some trouble breathing when trying to sleep which freaked him out, but a good cough medicine helped get the shit out of his lungs and he's OK with that now for the most part. Neither lost taste or smell, but both had a bit of brain fog.

It's sort of a relief. They were going to get it sooner or later, and at least it wasn't from me. My father checks off just about every box for co-morbidities with COVID, and it looks like he's gonna get away with out even having to seek medical attention.

I was around my Mom pretty much all day last Sunday when she had a fever, she didn't bother to tell my until about 4pm. I'm waiting until all of them are 100% over it and I know they will survive until a give her shit for that.

There's no way I didn't receive enough exposure to be infected, so either I had already had an Omicron asymptomatic infection or I just did this week.

Either way, my immune system does not seem to have been "destroyed" by the vaccine.
