My family finally got Covid for the first time a few weeks ago. 10 year old brought it into the house, cold symptoms and fine within a couple of days. 13 year old had flu like symptoms for a couple of days. Both kids are double vaxxed. My wife got it the worst, flu like symptoms (body aches, chills, tired) for over a week.
I had just gotten the new Pfizer 4th dose a couple of days prior to coming home from out of town, took care of everyone with minimal precautions. Finally got it a week in so might have gotten some benefit from the booster by then, and had only minor cold symptoms (mild congestion). I could’ve worked through it quite easily, but took time off because I tested positive.
So as we know, symptoms vary a lot. But vaccines, overall health, and age tend to minimize the illness.
