   Seems to be. Mrs. P developed symptoms first and is almost completely   
   better after a week. I'm on the mend. While it hasn't been pleasant,   
   we've definitely had worse experiences of viral or bacterial nature.   
   We're both fully vaccinated, and that's supposed to reduce symptoms. So I   
   credit the vax for some of this, but there's obviously no way to verify   
   and deniers gonna deny. We also both got Paxlovid, so some credit may go   
   to that as well. As long as we don't end up with the long version, this   
   hasn't been horrific. I'd still rate the experience a 0/5 WOULD NOT   
   CONTRACT AGAIN, of course.
