My niece has tested positive for COVID

Family fully vaxed and boosted. Brother a pediatrician. Went off for a week of skiing in Canada. Everyone in the same van, so I thinks the odds are high for additional infections.

I’m sure it probably felt fine to go on the trip. This strain is hitting so fast.

And were fine after a couple days feeling off-color. The oldest is a receptionist for a pediatrician, so we suspect she caught it there, then passed it on to her sister.

My brother and his wife never caught it as far as we know, even though they all live together.

A positive test is very far from a bad outcome, thankfully. A year ago, I would have fretted much more.
