[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had direct and prolonged exposure right before Christmas. Somehow the rest of us miraculously avoided it.   Multiple negative tests and no symptoms. [/quote]

Same.  One kid brought it home, we live in an apt, and miraculously nobody else got it, despite 36 hours of likely exposure (and high viral loads--their test lite up positive in 30 seconds).  I attribute that to the HEPA filters we run continuously in the apt.  And that we moved the infected kid to a hotel ASAP after they tested positive.  And then we masked when had to be around them (and moved a HEPA filter to their hotel room as well)[/quote]

you sent your sick kid to a hotel? alone? wtf. [/quote]

See, those people at the hotel do not matter, but the PP is now super virtuous and going to heaven because her household is now safe. [/quote]

Kid is a 25 yo adult. Hotel was 1 block away. Kid was never staying at our place---they were in a guest suite when getting sick.  After you downsize when kids graduate college, it is an issue if they come home and have no place to sleep---so we rent spaces.  It's fine---they masked when not in room and hospital grade hepa filter running on high and windows open. By time anyone entered the hotel room the air was long ago clear.

And yes, not bringing a covid positive person into a tiny apartment to infect everyone else.  This is no different than someone in the apartment next-door to you having covid.  [/quote]

It is really not PP.

You picked your family over strangers no matter how much you rationalize it.

Just own it.[/quote]
