I'm still kind of surprised that I didn't get it before the vaccine was introduced--I started masking a little later than some other folks due to the US Centers for Disease Control not initially recommending it, and then I used cloth masks for a long time rather than N95s. I guess I just got lucky.
Weird story, though: there's a small, but non-zero, chance that I actually had SARS COV-1 back in 2003. I flew into Toronto for an academic conference while there was an outbreak there, and about a week after I got home, I got very, very sick. It could have been the flu, but I've always wondered. And apparently there's some evidence that SARS 1 antibodies may confer some protection from SARS 2.
Is your mum still sick or is she recovered now? I hope her illness was/is mild.
