It kicked my ASS, despite the vaccination. I got it from the coughing-all-over-the-place pharmacist, who should know better (don't go to work sick, wear a mask if you do, if you're coughing - take something to tamp down the cough). It started on Thu, 2/12/26. It took forever to get past it. Over 1 month later I still sound weird when I talk (throat/nasal).
