    Well.. I don't really have anything to add to the title. Just thought it was funny and you guys could understand. It's 72 hours since the symptoms first appeared and I'm feeling much better than 48 hours ago.

    I weighed the risks. Being fully vaccinated Omicron wasn't going to be too bad even if I'm a breakthrough case. It just sucks that me playing badminton has to be the brunt of her anger now lol

    Chill your head & think from her position.
    What if you actually get hit by Covid seriously. You risk your wife & kids (if any) & your wife could losing you to the one she care.
    No one is on the wrong or right side. Both are right from their view point & wrong from others view point. Just chill out & calm her out. If you both get freaking out, it just makes thing worst.

    Did other players get it? Do you need to be vaccinated to play at your club? Get well soon.

    I'm sure there were others who had it. One person that I didn't see for a while said he got it when I asked him where he had been for the past couple of weeks.

    Here in the US, I think very few places require vaccination, but at least the demographics of people who play badminton around me are pretty much all vaccinated. It's just Omicron can break through easily.

    I resume playing when the Govt allowed it and the halls opened.

    My kids and wife went the the gym and I was scared and worried and advised them from it.

    Who was right? But it's not important anymore. :) All facilities are opened.

    My whole family is vaccinated. Once vaccinated, there's nothing else you can do because a lot of governments decided to let it run through their respective countries.

    Most of us will get infected at some point or another. It could just as well be from a contact in the supermarket.

    This. That Omikron variant is so darn infectious, you'd have to literally stay locked away in your basement (alone!) to fully avoid any risks. The good thing is that it really appears to be less lethal than previous variants, especially if you're vaccinated.

    We also had it going round at our family after coming back from our christmas vacation in Mexico - most likely picked it up somewhere on the trip home. My wife was completely knocked out for two days before she recovered pretty quickly again, I didn't really have any symptoms at all and all tests stayed negative. We both got the booster shot in December. The kids didn't show anything.

    And I'll leave you with a perfectly fitting meme that I've seen a couple of days ago. Title says "How it feels to leave the house since Omikron"...

    Takes a precaution & measurement ourself is fine but excesive fear are bad. Stay calm, wearing mask, vacination, avoiding massive crowd, & enjoy our live.
    Remember stress could affect our health which makes ourself weaker & prone to be infected.

    But what if you are getting sexual abuse from female gorilla, the male found it out, & you get pummeled to dead. Which one better... Covid or this kind of humiliating dead:rolleyes:

    well Mario just need 1 thing to survive that. 1 shiny glowing STAR. Lucky he had 1 mystery box near him:p .... Hope its not a coino_O

    I had coaching, and then I played both singles and doubles. Everyone I played with had no symptoms before/after.

    I would think that singles would be a lot safer, due to the distances involved.

    Out of curiosity, what makes you so certain that you caught it from badminton?

    We all touch the shuttle, and in most cases locker rooms/toilets/ are shared. :)

    She is in the wrong. Remind her you have longer life, better health, better looks, better body, happier outlook from badminton

    Other than grocery stores, it's pretty much the only place I went in the week leading up to my infection. I suppose I could still get it at the store, but the chances of it being badminton is extremely high when looking at the crowd density, number of hours I'm there, etc.

    Of course it's the badminton hall... it's the only place you (and I) were not wearing mask... unless you were masked...
