Therapy time!

Go somewhere else with that crap.

I don't have any answers but hope that all is well for you, OP. I think odds are that you will be fine.

Was everyone masked?

No one was masked. They didn’t mask well when the school required it.

We sat on a couch with my parents, including my immunocompromised dad and tested positive the next morning. My parents did not catch it.

Several weeks later then they went for an oncology appointment. 30 minutes, everyone masked (and good masks provided specifically by the facility). Doctor tested positive 36 hours later, parents tested positive 24 hours after that.

Go figure.

Do people really worry about this any more?

No, it’s just a thread asking for no reason and people still mask for kicks.

I hope your parents are okay. For those of us at higher risk who need to go to doctor's appointments, it's a little unnerving.

Any update op?

Yes, they are fine! My dad had one semi rough day but otherwise it was a mild flu. But the entire situation was unnerving. When I was sick, I called my parents 5 times a day to see if they developed symptoms because I felt horrible. We knew they would probably get it eventually but I certainly did not want to be the cause.

I was being sarcastic to the one who asked if people still worry about this issue? Dummy.

I sat directly next to my music teacher for 30 min the night before he started feeling sick and he tested positive a few days later. Both wore surgical masks (this was last august, so before Omicron). I never got sick.

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?

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

Same.

OP has hypochondria. It can be treated.

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

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

The type of filter in the building doesn't matter if the air isn't pushed through that filter. That's why the Air Changes per Hour (ACH), that tells you how often the air in a space is completely replaced, is a more important measure.
