I anticipate numbers rising. Those exposed on Thanksgiving or over the weekend are still in the window to not have developed symptoms. By Friday we may see a noticeable bump. Hopefully not, but potentially.

To PP, if you are traveling and going to be spending the holidays unmasked with others, you are contributing to a heightened risk. That's fine, we know Covid isn't going away and eventually most of us will assume that risk, but recognize that's how it spreads so please don't blame others if you're going to engage in the same activity. The bump during the holidays is because of gatherings of family and friends when households come together.

Essentially asymptomatic for all 4 of us. Sniffles for 1-2 days and my husband felt tired for 2 days, but otherwise fine. We only caught it at all by pure luck. Biggest symptom was boredom (and sadness about missing Thanksgiving).

My family and I have been living like the majority of Americans for 6+ months, maskless and completely back to normal. There's tons of others in Northern Virginia doing so too. COVID is never going away so you're just wasting your time, hoping for it to go away like the flu (oh yeah, which doesn't go away either).

This morality play nonsense of "you're a bad person for living your life" has got to stop. Did you blame gay people for spreading AIDS too? It's the same type of bigotry with both.

If you have travel plans, you will be as much of a source of covid as other families, so don't complain about it. Even vaccinated, your kids can still get covid.

And?!? So what?!? Since COVID will be endemic, are we supposed to stop from traveling and seeing family forever then?

Ridiculous lunacy. Burn the masks, get back to normal life. For an endemic virus that is for vaccinated people (and unvaccinated kids) less than a flu level risk, anything other than returning to normal is a complete waste of time and kids' childhood.

Not PP but I have not subjected my immune system to an experimental toxin and I’m flying in 2 weeks to Europe. Can’t wait!

Curious, why did you test?

My kid said his head kind of hurt. Every kid I know that got it had a headache. I was just being cautious (used an at home test). His headache resolved on its own shortly after.

The nottingham cases were from before thanksgiving, but two weren’t reported until after.

The people yelling "stay home" today and saying you're a bad person for not sacrificing your mental health are reminiscent of Jesse Helms in the 1980s with gay people and AIDS (except AIDS was way, way deadlier than COVID pre-vaccine, and now COVID has vaccines available). Branch COVIDians: normal human behavior = bad morals. Jesse Helms: gay sexual activity = bad morals.

Same type of fanatics, different sides of political spectrum.

It's only been six days since Thanksgiving. Most positives from post Thanksgiving travel were just starting yesterday and will probably peak just before or during this coming weekend.

If you mental health is that fragile that you cannot curb your behavior for a time so we can get through covid, maybe your next "vacation" should be to a mental hospital.

No. It’s not. You don’t pass HIV by breathing. It’s not the same At. All.

But then, you already knew that.

Sorry this happened but sounds like symptoms weren’t too bad thankfully. Out of curiosity, were your kids being tested at school? Anecdotally I have not heard of anyone testing positive from the school tests.
