If you know someone in their fifties who has caught Covid in the past 2-3 weeks (so probably Omicron)...

[LilyPond2]

...how are they?
Have seen lots of posts about people with relatively mild symptoms, but conscious that many of them may be a lot younger than 50. Interested in hearing about experiences of people in their fifties who have had (probable) Omicron (and whether they are boostered/double jabbed/unvaccinated).

@LilyPond2

Thank you for all the replies, and to those who have lost family members or friends, I am sorry for your loss.

@LindaLaHughes Do you have a link to the Danish study (or article where you read about it)? That sounds very interesting.

55. Max vaxed and boostered. Cold symptoms- runny nose, sneezing, dry throat. Day 5. Feeling much better.

@LindaLaHughes Thank you!

Just to add to the original question- I have covid now- pretty much no symptoms- extremely mild cold maybe (mid forties)
My father in his late seventies with underlying conditions has zero symptoms and my mum the same has mild symptoms. So far!
All of us triple vaccinated.

My aunt is 60, has covid. She has a temp and feels a bit grim and tired but nothing concerning. She’s had both vaccines and a booster.

I know three people over 50 who have it now. One feels like he has a bad cold, the other two have no symptoms, maybe a bit tired.

my sister's MIL (57) - she's fine, 2 days with a heavy cold then she was back to walking 5 miles at a time on the treadmill to mitigate the boredom of isolation.

I’m 52, double vaxxed but no booster (not going to bother with it). I had minor sniffles, a mild headache for a few days (which went with paracetamol), a little tired but still up and about. Really nothing major, I’ve had worse colds.

Dad is 58, not vaccinated, a bit ill (tired, achey muscles, headache) but not more than you would call a bad cold.

Tons of people I know ranging in age from early 40s to mid 50s have had what’s almost certainly Omicron (we’re in London) in past 10 days. In every single case at worst cold symptoms, many asymptomatic.

My mum has covid at the moment. She’s 54. She is triple vaxed and has a mild cold and sore throat and is very tired. My younger sister in her twenties, double vaxxed, was quite poorly with a raging sore throat, dizzy, faint, cough and no appetite. London so prob omicron but we don’t know. My sister was ok after about 3 days of feeling really rubbish. But she is very prone to sore throats and most viruses end up with her having them so that could be why it was so painful for her

Dh colleague early 50s unvaccinated caught covid 3 weeks ago died yesterday. First person I know to have died from it.

I’m 59, doubled vaxed and had booster mid October. Positive lft on 16 Dec. Finally had negative lfts 25 and 26th. But I’m still feeling rough. Started with sore throat, which I often get as I’m a teacher, and achey. Throat is now ok but have a constant headache, night sweats, sometimes dizziness and extreme tiredness. Have had a couple of short walks in the last couple of days but they really took it out of me.
I’m in London, about ten colleagues also tested positive that same week so I presume it’s omicron. Most of them had mild symptoms and are younger.
Sending 💐to fellow sufferers. It’s not always mild, and not a fun way to spend Christmas.
