I was searching for relaxing covid restrictions on the island and found this post and saw Linda's comment on how it was transmitted (in CLT airport). I just got back on May 26 from a 12 day Alaskan cruise (Holland America) and land tour. I have been vaccinated and boosted. I know I caught covid omicron two days before either in a transportation bus to Anchorage or the hotel also in Anchorage. I started sneezing and had drainage. It lasted about 4 or 5 days and was nothing more than a bad cold but I lost my smell and ability to taste. That lasted about 10 days and I am still not tasting some foods as it can take up to two months for full recovery. Another comment was about how people have dogged the 'bullet', and I did four times but this time not so lucky. So I agree with the comment that this strain is very easy to transmit. I really miss the island but have decided to wait until maybe December to visit if the air fares are not to high.
