I had it and wouldn’t consider the 12 days down with it “mild”, but on the flip side, it wasn’t anywhere near a “death sentence” either. It’s a nasty bug and weird. Some people have no symptoms, others have mild symptoms, while others like me, had it a pretty rough go of it for awhile.
The main thing is I had it, got over it and now carrying on with life.
A good friend of mine’s wife had it. Sounds about like your case.
What does a case with no symptoms mean? Does it mean they were exposed to it and their test came back positive because their immune system produced antibodies? Or does it mean they can transmit it to others even though they are perfectly healthy? If a vaccine is developed wouldn’t it act like other vaccines and expose the immune system to the disease so the body produces antibodies? And if that were the case wouldn’t everybody who received the vaccination test positive?
When I was child (over 60 years ago) and my parents heard that one of my friends got the chicken pox, they would suggest I go over to his house so that I would catch it and become immune for the rest of my life (not withstanding shingles).
Were you hospitalized? Were you given any meds for it?
