mark60My Son Has The Wu Flu
He called last Thursday and told us he was sick as a dog and was getting tested. Tested positive later that day and had both Moderna shots with the second one in early June. He's still in good spirits and calls each day to let us know how he's doing so it seems like he'll get by it but not soon enough according to him. He said it feels like a bad flu. I've been dropping meds and groceries at his door and waving from the truck when he comes out.

r0gueOur experience at my health system is that anyone fully vaccinated who catches it and is bad enough to be admitted tend to have good outcomes. And that's for people that are even bad enough to be admitted. Most of course, never get that bad.
Our ICU has been pretty full for months. Many intubated. All ages, from 30's 40's and up. One in his/her 20s. Generally, none vaccinated (though I recall an 80+ year old that was). I know it's not the popular topic/answer with everyone here, but your son is in a much better position with the vaccination.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
