Not a sterilizing vaccine, only expected to decrease the risk of a severe course of infection, hospitalization, and death.
I’ve got one patient, two students, and 3 friends with The 'Vid, all are vax’d, all are on paxlovid as we speak, and expected to make a good recovery. I hope that is/ was the case for you as well. Best to ya, Friend!
Shit I have had a sore throat for a few days, I took an old COVID test we had and it was negative but I’m not sure if old tests even detect new variants.
As of today, I have it too. Was sick since Sunday and since yesterday some foods tasted like chemicals and kept coughing like crazy. So tested just to be certain and tested positive for COVID.
My country doesn’t obligate us to self-isolate anymore and such but just out of decency, I e-mailed the people I had appointments with to cancel it due to COVID. It’s up to them if they want to continue the appointment, reschedule or do it through online now.
Even though my vaxxes are up to date, I caught the new variant recently. It was pretty nasty - a lot like strep throat.

They do, mostly. The current general wisdom is that as long as the control line shows up it’s reasonably accurate.
