Hoping I can get on the list for the Vaccine (M65). The local grocery chain, Publix (sort of a Hy-Vee equivalent here in the SE) is doing the majority of the immunizations. The sign-up is on-line by county and next iteration is tomorrow AM at 6:00. I have my alarm set for 5:45.
Not to get dragged down into a sidebar, but I love Publix. Have one about 5 minutes from the house. Unfortunately, they're not doing vaccinations at my Publix (yet, hopefully that changes).
To OP's original post, neither me, my wife, nor my kids have gotten it (that we know of). However, pretty much the rest of my family got it at Thanksgiving (we declined to travel to Iowa for this year). Symptoms were all over the board.
My father (62) had fevers that came and went. Lost his sense of taste and smell for a while, and apparently when his sense of smell came back, everything smelled...uh....like poo, I guess. Also, he had lots of pain in his feet. He also was very very tired. I think his symptoms lasted about 10 days or so.
My mother (61) had a slight tickle in the back of her throat, no cough, no fever, no runny nose.
My grandmother (88, mother's mother) had the same symptoms as my mother. She never got tested (advice of her doctor), but based on the fact that everybody else got it, it's likely she had it as well.
My brother (34) had symptoms similar to my father, but not as severe. No poo smell upon that sense returning.
My brother's wife (32) had fever, cough, body aches, loss of smell and taste. She probably had it the worst of all of them.
My other brother (26) had fever and some aches. Not sure what else. He's a diabetic, but no complications.
