One of our volunteers (who got his vaccinations in January) came down with COVID a few days after the show. I had to run out and get tested as I was going from Oshkosh to a family reunion and didn't want to wipe out my relatives. Fortunately, everybody who worked with this guy seems to have come back negative.
None of the 6 people in my group have felt sick since returning but we were all vaccinated. Covid is so unpredictable though; many people get it and have zero symptoms while others get it and feel deathly ill if not worse. With this new variant all bets are off ... many who previously had Covid or who were fully vaccinated are still testing positive though the symptoms may not be as bad.
While I was attending AirVenture several people in my office back in Louisville came down with Covid. I asked around and none were vaccinated. They were all under the age of 30 and one didn't get the shot due to being pregnant. The others had no real reason for not getting the shot, they just never got around to getting it.
I'm sure many who attend this year will get it, either being exposed at AirVenture or somewhere else around the same timeframe. Hoping anyone who gets it recovers just fine. Everyone stay safe and healthy!
one of the B2Osh members caught it at Oshkosh--flew home--died a few days later--very sad
Know of several other people that caught it at Oshkosh
none of these people were vaccinated
I got very sick for two days--had been vaccinated--took a covid test--came back negative--was well enough to fly home at the end of the week
Very sad to hear that news, Kevin. We arrived the Friday before. On Monday I felt like crap. Figured it was a summer cold as by Wednesday it was gone. Or could’ve been allergies. No fever, just swollen throat. We’ve been fully vaccinated since March.Originally Posted by Kevin O'Halloran
Very sad to hear of all the cases in responses to this thread. I guess I’m not surprised, but was just hopeful that results would have been different.
That is horrible news. So sorry to read this.
I and my Grandson where there for two weeks. I was vaccinated. We didn't wear masks and just did the normal stuff . No problems !
No problems here either.
I camped in HBC for 10 days. The only time I wore a mask was when I rode to City Bus downtown for dinner one night. Mask wearing was enforced to board the bus. Other riders removed removed their mask after they were seated. Good thing those viruses don't follow you to your seat.
