Knowing more and more people with breakthrough cases, all relatively mild and short lived “sickness”. My daughter had breakthrough covid (JJ one dose, not boosted). 2 days where she felt sick, would have gone back to work day 4 if they would have let her. My mother breakthrough Moderna. Was hospitalized 4 days only because she has lymphoma and had recent surgery. Never needed oxygen, did have pneumonia (bacterial not covid), needed an IV and recovered nicely. She was happy that she had the vaccine, she's 88.

I'm thrilled that your family all recovered well. It does seem that we're seeing a huge uptick on the number of cases and from the people I know, just as many 'vaccinated' are getting it as those who aren't.

The dominant strain here in Hellinois is reported as being the Omicron variant, responsible for more than 70% of all cases. I'm hoping this is the last 'variant' given all the mutations, the high tranmissibility and the ultra-low mortality rate. If we're going to get to herd immunity, this appears to my untrained eye to be the variant that finally gets us there.
