The second Omicron wave is here. Anyone who didn’t get it the first time around will probably get it now.
I got it a couple of weeks ago, almost exactly two months after my third dose. For me, it was a pretty run-of-the-mill cold that cleared up in a few days, but it seems to affect everyone differently. I know vaxxed-and-boosted people who had more severe symptoms that lasted for 10 days or more.
My advice for everyone right now: get your monthly quota of rapid tests and make sure you always have five day’s worth of food in the fridge just in case you get sick and need to isolate. And if you feel the slightest cold symptoms, even if it’s just a scratchy throat, take a test and stay home – even if the test result is negative. I tested negative on the first day of my symptoms but then positive a day later.

Which is typical, because the false negative rate for home tests is very high until day 3 of symptoms.
