Are you willing to get the Covid vaccine when offered? (3 Viewers)

[SaintInBucLand]

Or like, at least wear a mask, wash your hands, let people know. Can usually accommodate outside or air filters.

Washing hands is always a good thing, but just to clarify, the CDC did report that fomite transmission of covid is almost nil.

Question

You get covid, but luckily it’s a very mild case and you recover quickly

I know you can get infected again, but like six months later

You can’t get it again next week, right?

It would seem unlikely. Your body would still have all sorts of antibodies present. Of course, there might be the possibility of having something like Delta and then being exposed to Omicron....I'm not sure if that would cause an issue.

There are all kinds of variables that make it possible. Particularly, for example, if someone at peak contagiousness repeatedly coughed and sneezed on you in a small non ventialated room.

But in ordinary circumstances with a decent immune system it is unlikely.

This is the first infection in our household, so looking to the SR community for advice assuming some of you already know.

Daughter was exposed Monday or Tuesday, and tested positive today. What is the contagious window timeline? I am wondering how long I should wait before getting tested myself. I know that getting tested too early after exposure is worthless. Also even if I don't have covid today, I could sill get infected tomorrow or the next day or the next.....

So assuming daughter was infected Monday/Tuesday, how long is she still contagious, and how long after that should I wait before getting tested myself (as well as other family members)? I see no point in getting tested now while she is still contagious, because I could still get infected later even if not infected now. Also I don't want to subject my 10 year old to the nasal jackhammer if she will have to do it again a few days later.

Thanks.

7 days for her.

3 days for yall. Test Sunday and if negative you have avoided.

This from good friend at Tulane.

If you don't test positive Sunday, yall should be clear to walk around the cabin.

And God bless for having to deal with the emotional aspect with girls. I have 2 as well and this house would be a mess lolol.

Why?

What's going to power the chip once it's injected? Legit question

The chips are not powered. They have a bodacious antenna that when it encounters a chip readers fairly powerful pulsed microwave command to read out, that creates just enough impulse power for the implanted chip to read out it's permanent memory and transmit it back to the reader unit. Usually it's just an identity code that can be looked up using software from the maker of the chip's support web page.

The only people likely to have a reader are county animal control officers and veterinarians.

Delta average incubation period is 4 days. Omicron is like 2.

Your daughter have symptoms?

Again, me, I'd just have her in a mask, set up an outside or open air area, maybe a hepa filter (got one last year).

So, assuming omicron, mon infection, Wednesday incubation over.

But symptoms help pin point.

Yeah, she woke up this morning with a sore throat and mild fever. My main question is how long is she still contagious to others?

CDC Guidelines for COVID Exposure: Timeline, Quarantine, Contagious Period

What should you do if you or someone you have been in close contact with tests positive for coronavirus? How long are you contagious, what are the quarantine guidelines and when can you see people again?

Thanks SW

edit: Man, that is a lot of info with no clear cut answers. Basically "Anywhere between zero and 14 days"

 

[Brad Mojo]

"Those who have been fully vaccinated and around someone who has COVID-19 are recommended to get tested between five and seven days after their exposure, according to the most recent guidance from the CDC, though previous guidance had been between three and five days."

OK so if your child has Covid, what is "five and seven days after their exposure,"? I'm getting exposed every day.

I'm not a doctor but I once did read a first year medical school text book.

The section which covered how a person's body fights a virus did say that upon 24 hours since a fever and noticeable symptoms such as coughing had ceased, that the shedding aspect was over, and in most cases for most viruses that the contagious period was much diminished if not completely over.

From what I understand, It would. So the main mechanism of infection is the spike protein. The spike protein is so different with Omicron as compared to Delta or any previous variant that it's certainly possible to catch both back to back. Omicron is in the process of overtaking delta though, so the hope is that it just drive it to extinction and delta is by and large a thing of the past.

It's 3-5 after your first known exposure. So if your kid test positive on monday, if you're concerned you would want to test thursday and/or friday depending on how you look at the days for yourself. You could also do both if it wasn't prohibitively expensive for you. The longest you would wait would be Sunday. If it was me, I would probably test once on Thursday (in this scenario), then if I had a negative but developed known symptoms test again as soon as I could as those symptoms developed.

Ok, that makes sense. I wonder how likely something like that would be.
