My wife and I just came home from vacation, and after 4½ years of avoiding it, we have COVID.
(lemmy.world)
We social distance, usually wear masks in public, and stay up to date on our vaccinations. But all it took was one lady with a mean cough on a two hour flight a week ago to ruin that...or so we think.
The timing really sucks. I had plans for my weekend.
FYI the covid vaccines don't protect from being infected (and infecting others).
But they are pretty good at preventing severe symptoms and long covid
That's not exactly true. While the vaccines don't prevent infection in all cases, they do significantly lower your chance of becoming infected when you're exposed to someone with COVID.
