But I am in a room with my students for hours. Some of them are masked and some aren't. I'm masked and spend plenty of time closer than 6 feet. I haven't gotten it (yet). I test weekly since I'm often exposed and don't always know when. Think about medical staff who is well masked and surrounded by confirmed positive cases, and don't get it.

You take a covid test every week...just...because?

It's offered by work, and I work with medically fragile kids.

I was unmasked in a room for more like 4 hours with three of my friend's kids who tested positive the next day, and I never tested positive. I had a scratchy throat and runny nose for a few days but had multiple PCRs and rapid tests and they were all negative. So either I somehow didn't catch it and had a wildly coincidental mild cold/allergies, or I did catch it and my viral load even at that level of exposure was so low that the tests didn't pick it up. I wouldn't have believed it myself until it happened to me; I thought for sure I'd be down for the count.

Not the teacher above but I’m a teacher and we get tested every week- students and teachers.

Therapy time!

Anecdotally, my sons preschool teacher tested positive back in January, after being in school with the kids continuously. The school required masking at the time (but kids removed for snack) and the entire class and other teacher never tested positive. Also personally know people whose family have tested positive and it took days or weeks for other family members to become infected in the same house unmasked. So, hopefully you won’t test positive.

Low but possible.

My daughter was at my parents’ house unmasked for like 6 hours and the next day tested positive and they didn’t get it.

What exactly is she going to do, Saran Wrap him?

Vaccinated or booster?

Fairly low, what is specific concern. Most respirators leak more than 5%, so the risk really is airborne virus built up in room and eye exposure risk.

Ventilation, volume all are high factors

I echo other posters mentioning schools. I’m a teacher and have been exposed countless times for an hour and a half less than six feet away. No Covid. My kid’s in daycare where they sort of wear masks but hug, play, sleep, eat 8 hours a day together. Five kids have gotten Covid, my kid hasn’t.

Everyone vaccinated and boosted. The building supposedly runs on MERV-13 but the room felt stuffy.

You’re right. You SHOULD get some therapy, because your insecurity and desperate need for attention is showing.

My teenaged son spent two *very* close hours to someone who tested positive the next day. He never got it. This was pre-vaccine.

Also a teacher. I teach in a windowless closet with no ventilation. I’ve spent 45 minutes with 5 different CoVID positive kids. Never got it from them. Did actually get it over winter break. Not sure how.

Was everyone masked?
