Our national health authority person, like the head of the CDC, told us that with omicron being so mild, and so contagious, and us being so well vaccinated, we should rather get it now than later. She said the current measures were not enough to stop the extra contagious variant. They expect the whole country to get infected by the summer. They are just trying to slow it down to prevent full hospitals.
DH and I were just joking that we might need to visit someone infected. But just a few days later, without being in contact with anyone, DH got symptoms. We have no idea how he could have gotten it. It turmed out that our community was the most infected in the country. He got a first negative selftest. Only his second test 2 days later was positive, which was also confirmed by PCR-test. We didn't live separately, as I thought: just let it come to me, then I will be done with it. Four days later I got symptoms as well. My first 2 tests were negative, but on the third day I tested positive in a self test. We have been isolating at home.
We both had mild symptoms. DH's included fever for 1-2 days, headache, sour throat and later coughing stuff out his lungs. His third vaccin was taken at the start of December. I got my vaccin in the week before DH got it. My symptoms were coughing and sneezing. I am coughing like we used to do with a nasty cold, so my throat is a bit sour as well. And I feel a bit tired. Otherwise no fever or headache.
Conclusion is that the selftests have a lot of false negatives, on the days that you probably are contagious.
