    A vaccine booster puts me out for a day with chills and a mild fever (Advil helps!) so I really would prefer not to find out what an actual infection does.

      I had COVID very early on. It had me coughing enough I started coughing up blood. It took over a year for the chest pains to clear. The vaccine barely felt like a speed bump, by comparison.

      My second case of COVID was like very mild flu. Enough to notice (and so test for) but didn’t really take me out. (Yes, I still quarantined despite that)
