[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Called from hotel (en route of long travel) to tell Dad we’d arrive by lunch. He said he “has a bad cold and was up all night coughing and sneezing.” Um…what? My sisters family will also be there tomorrow. I called sister who agreed Dad must get a rapid test before any of us would arrive. So he left lake house to drive an hour back to his main house and get a rapid test. Very grumpy, mad and put out. Yes, he was vaccinated, but my sister and I personally know people with breakthrough cases.

He just got negative result, and will be here in the morning. But he is wounded and in a snit. He claims he understand we were trying to protect unvaccinated kids, but I think he’s going to stay sour.

Meanwhile, we have always—even before Covid—protected our parents and rescheduled things if anyone had a cold, etc. ugh. Just a bad day.[/quote]

OP, I hear you but... please know the rapid test is not the gold standard at all on this. He really needs the PCR test that takes 2-3 days for results.

If everyone in my family was vaccinated, I wouldn't worry about it. With unvaccinated kids, I would not stay there until he has the other test.

I know many, many people who've had breakthrough cases, my husband and son included. Their symptoms were much like you described with your dad - like a "bad cold." That's because they are vaccinated - otherwise, would most likely have been much worse.[/quote]
He does not. You are not ok posting this over and over and over again. Seek medical help.[/quote]

What are you talking about?  There is no "medical help" for Covid symptoms. [/quote]
What? Pp needs help for her insane paranoia and parroting that rapid tests for people with symptoms are not accurate. She// you are on every thread where someone has a sniffle. There is help for clinical anxiety and paranoia.[/quote]
