Talked to a friend of mine who works at another location (same company) about 15 minutes away.
One of his coworkers was off for 3 weeks and on antibiotics after a bout with covid in early-January. He was having difficulty breathing and swallowing at times.
Whereas my friend who also got covid (late-January) was off for just over a week. Fatigue & mild cold symptoms. He said he self-tested immediately upon walking home from a 10-minute walk to get groceries and being tired upon return. Keeping in mind he regularly walks 8 - 10km daily, and during spring / summer runs (outdoors) 4 - 5 days a week.
Both of them fully vaxxed and boosted. Each in good health (small builds & exercise regularly; no preexisting conditions).
