MOVING TO FRONT FROM YESTERDAY
A lot has changed since Spring 2020 in terms of the Covid disaster. Academic readers are, as a class, more careful than most. I'm curious about the experience of readers of this blog with Covid, whether you've had it and how many times. If you were sick but couldn't get tested (very common early on), you'll have to decide whether you think it was Covid or not based on the symptoms. Please respond, I imagine I'm not the only one curious about how one segment of academia has been affected by the pandemic and especially by the phenomenon of repeat infections.
UPDATE 7/11 8 am: A strikingly good response to a poll posted on a Sunday afternoon in summer; here's the results:

In the U.S. about 40% of the population has not been infected; I don't know what the numbers are elsewhere, and since the readership is international the comparison may not be too illuminating. Some interesting comments at the poll site, and I'll open comments here too. Some wondered whether those with multiple infections also had received vaccinations or boosters. I'd be curious to hear (anonymously is fine of course) from those who had it twice or thrice whether it was less severe in the subsequent cases. Any other comments on Covid-related experiences also welcome.
