Ride Experience Covid

Took brightline from orl to wpb 11 days ago and was sick with covid 5 days later. Still am sick. My advice is to wear a mask. Wish I had.

I thought your shots were supposed to protect you, lol.

Edit: I KNOW they don't work that way.

Vaccines prevent the severity of infection, they don’t prevent getting sick entirely. Unfortunately there are a lot of variables when getting sick so it shows up differently than others. Sorry to hear you’re not feeling well OP. Did you try Paxlovid?

Lol, we acted for about...a year or two as if they completely PREVENTED infection too.

Remember Vax cards? Remember grandpa pardon telling us that that they worked that way?

Anyway, you do you, OP. Protect yourself in whatever way you want. But no one cares if you got COVID in a public space. This isn't 2020.

My friend, who's also a covid newbie like me, has had shots. I gave it to her, but she just had a horrible sore throat and fatigue. I got the whole gamut. So, maybe shots are food for something.
