Covid exposure?
So my family and I got super sick from something that wasn’t the flu in March and we were told it was some other “respiratory illness”. My wife actually got tested for antibodies in late June/early July, I forget, and came back negative. Anyhow, my daughter was apparently exposed to a kid who later tested positive for covid for over a week and has shown no signs of sickness and my wife got a PCR test what would have been 8-10 days after my little girl would have played unmasked with a covid positive coughing kid. Too early in the process to call this “sterilizing immunity” at this point, but kind of looks like my little girl may be immune.
Anyone else have any similar experiences?
My college roommate said him and his dad got sick over the summer, but he's been going out damn near every night and still hasn't gotten it. So he probably has antibodies cause all of his friends got it too and he didn't.
This is a reeeaaallllyyy far leap in logic lol
Is it though? If you have someone who is constantly being exposed to the virus but doesn't contract it, wouldn't the most likely explanation be that they previously had it?
Yeah, so the constantly exposed to the virus is another leap...you're also assuming he was given enough viral load to even contract
Nobody knows. Some people tested positive for COVID but negative for antibodies. If your entire family got ill in march and it wasn't the flu then, yes, you most likely had COVID.
Secondly, there is already some evidence that children are often completely asymptomatic and might not even spread the disease.
Basically, this all tells you that you simply can't make any assumptions.
Just to clarify, asymptomatic =/= can’t spread the virus. In fact, many new cases are being linked to asymptomatic carriers - a popular medium being children
My great aunt and all her family got sick over the summer too. They all made it through okay and the kids didn't have many symptoms.
Back in early February I got really sick and just wrote it off as the flu, but my doc said it wasn’t the flu nor bronchitis. He told me basically wait it out and see if it gets worse. It didn’t. No idea what it was, but I’ve been curious to get tested for antibodies myself.
My best friend’s grandpa passed away due to an unknown respiratory illness around that time too. He was in his mid 90s so they didn’t really think much of it, it was more or less expected with a lot of health conditions at his age (still sucks though).
