[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again… I like the suggestion of grandparents being part of our bubble prior to delivery, but it is not realistic for all of them (or my sanity). One set can drive here in a day and the others are flying in, so who knows what they will pick up at the airport. The ones that can drive cannot commit to a two week isolation/quarantine for various reasons (work, desire to maintain “normalcy”) and I do not trust that they would anyway based on their pre-vaccination behavior. My biggest concern is that vaccinated people could transmit the virus to the baby. Is that too rare for me to be concerned about? [/quote]

If the flyers wear N95s or KN95s and don't eat or drink on the plane, the risk is actually pretty low, according to family member MD who is incredibly COVID cautious. 10 days is the standard for isolation, btw, or 7 days with a test. Not 14 days anymore. Can you ask them not to go to indoor restaurants? That's not a huge sacrifice (and I'm someone who is very "back to normal" with most things, but if someone asked me to forgo indoor dining for a week to visit a newborn relative, I'd gladly do it).

I would just have everyone get tested, rapid tests are NBD. I personally would value sanity + family help over the risk of vaccinated people transmitting. (And the tests should help ease that fear if people are willing to be tested.) [/quote]
