I got COVID at Wikimania as did my boyfriend Fabian. Our symptoms both began two days after the conference. I was sick in bed, hardly moving for 3 days. Both of us have been vaccinated five times in the United States and caught COVID one time before.
Completely unrelated, but back in the United States our housemates got COVID while we were gone. Also elsewhere in my town there are suddenly people out with COVID in many places, when for some time, we had not been experiencing cases.
