There's certainly an element of luck.

I got it in February, distanced and my wife and kids didn't get it.  (teacher and high school kids who where in school at the time though masking)
My youngest got it in July.  No distancing from the family, none of the rest of us got it.

It's really hit in miss with my anecdotal evidence.   My brothers family all got it together.

Fortunately, none of the test kit positive COVID's were serious.  Mine and my daughters (assumable different strains given the timeframes) were especially mild.  One day flu type, otherwise pretty ok.

I figured new ones would be better, as they would have valid expiration dates.
Ones I have now are long past there time.

On Nov. 29 I fell on my face (missed a down curb), and fractured both nasal bones. Hit my forehead so hard, it left a crease, but did not lose consciousness. Spent 4 hrs in the local overcrowded trauma center and caught Influenza A-H3 as a result, my wife soon followed, and we have been very ill for the past two weeks. We both had the Quad Flu vax in Sept. The point being, beware, H Flu mutated and your previous vax is not effective. It is easier to catch than Covid I am told. The illness was perhaps less intense with minimal temp and myalgia, but the cough is a b--tch and is lasting for weeks in some cases (my wife). Just FYI.

Sorry to hear about that Okie.  I hope both you and your wife get better in time to be able to enjoy the holidays.

They're back again if you need or want them. Well they will be in 4 days.

The government spent 600 million on the program again. If you are still interested or want to check the dates on the kits you have here is the link.
