“But only mild symptoms and no patients affected.”
Research shows the first dose of the vaccine is 100% effective against severe disease, and highly effective against all disease – but not entirely. And new research from the UK shows it significantly reduces transmission from those who are infected after their first dose.

Hunh that’s when we were there. My partner has been long partially-vaccinated (as a health worker), and spent 16 hours over 2 days there; I unvaccinated (at that point) spent 10 minutes trying to get her her things, and of course I spend time with her. In some ways she had COVID-like symptoms, but tested negative. Either way, bullet dodged for all apparently.

If I understand correctly, they tested positive for coronavirus infection but not necessarily COVID 19, which is the disease caused by the coronavirus. It’s like people who get cold sores. They have the virus for coldsores in their body, but don’t always have coldsores (the ‘disease’ or condition caused by herpes simplex).
