If you did mix over Christmas

[Jenasaurus]

Is there anyone now unwell as a result? The number of cases today is daunting and deaths are over 1000, the timeline would correspond with it being the Christmas period it would have been caught. I was thinking about this and wondering if anyone is aware that someone they saw over christmas is now unwell as a result?

Mum and brother - all fine

I think a reference is needed for the 33% is hospital transmission. Considering that over a million people currently have the infection I’m personally not seeing the figures stack up as 350000 of those currently infected caught it in a hospital

Yes we mixed - my parents came for Christmas day. They were basically shielding (actually shielding now) and we were as careful as we could be in the run up (DD was still at nursery and I did have to food shop).

Over the longer Christmas period we went for some walks with friends but all outside and as distanced as possible.

No one is ill.

We saw my parents and sister as permitted. None ill.

no - none of us is ill

My mum (74 with heart issues) and step-dad - works as a postie on the parcel counter interacting with people all day - they came down on the day and stayed in a Travel Lodge

I've had Covid - my 3 kids are all in school and 2 work in supermarkets being coughed on by the general public - pound to a penny we've all been exposed - kids probably had it.

My mum had her fist vaccine a week ago - I'm so happy for that - I don;t regret seeing them.

Nope. We've reached the 10 days that we would have had to isolate and no one is ill. Most of us haven't been in contact with anyone else so no real opportunity to pass it on if asymptomatic either. So, if we develop it now it is unlikely to have been due to Christmas mixing. Probably not what you wanted to hear.
There's no guarantee that you'd be symptomatic within 10 days of being in contact with Covid. The government website acknowledges this, though doean't seem to publicise it much.
My friend's wife tested positive on the 13th Dec and he didn't start to feel unwell until the 30 th Dec. and then tested positive.
The government have been minimising the risks because they're lying bastards to keep the economy going. However, it's now hard for them to deny it...

My aunt and uncle who have isolated since March due to health issues saw her children and grandchildren Xmas day. Out of 6 adults all but one has tested positive and a six month old baby.

My parents came over. But we had been completely isolating since beginning of November (my DC had it, week later I tested positive, then another DC, then my DC couldn't go back to school because their bubbles had burst etc etc. It was basically your worst case worst nightmare scenario of isolation after isolation). My last DC came out of isolation on the 21st Dec. So by then we had been completely isolating, shopping delivered etc for nearly 8 week. My parents don't go ANYWHERE except walks from their house (take the rules very seriously, they've been in self imposed lockdown since before the first lockdown!) so in the end we figured we were as about as low risk as it gets. If the kids had been in school they wouldn't have come over though, and I wouldn't have been happy for them to do so.

No, just my dc and me as dh is a doctor and worked Christmas and New Year.

We did mix. Nobody is ill. In total, on Christmas and Boxing Days we were 5 separate households, however 4 of the 5 households had all had corona in October.

We had my dad over ( 82 lives on his own and is in our support bubble.) The first time he has been in my house for 9 months. We still did it very socially distanced- sat 2 m away- windows open- no hugging.

We are all ok.

We have now gone back to socially distanced visits in our conservatory with the door open and blankets! He has had his first vaccination so I imagine he has some level of immunity but could still pass it on to us. Just waiting to hear if the second has been delayed- was supposed to be next week.

3 people from my team at work have it plus their partners/family members. All of them from various parts of the North West.

Up until Monday I didn't know anyone first hand who actually had it.

Thank you for your reply. I will be interested to learn more but a non scientific or medical professional. I tend to read bits and pieces from BMJ and John Hopkins (as much as I can understand) etc but although other family members and friends are doctors I do not have sufficient technical knowledge to fully appreciate the science.

Saw my parents and brother on Christmas Day. Total of 7 people in the house, all fine.

Nope It was just the four of us on Christmas day. DD was going to go back to uni on the 2nd, so wanted to make sure she was safe and didnt take it with her. My cousin and her family has all had covid. Her daughter was already positive from school just before Christmas and the rest got tested. They found out Christmas day whilst carving the turkey.

No. My dad is terminally ill and it was his last Christmas. We all isolated and tested beforehand. Absolutely no regrets.

Sorry - Missed off my post that a couple of them did mix to a degree over Christmas with parents/siblings.

I haven't seen anyone. My ex husband didn't see our kids as he was with his new girlfriend and her family (breaking the rules) the poor man is poorly..tested positive, serves him right!!!

We were to have dinner with Dbro he tested positive the week before.
I dropped in to my Dsis for two hours 3 families everyone is well thankfully.

No and still don’t know of anyone that has had it!

@missmogwai north west too!

I live at home with my mother and one sibling. We kept our Christmas to this one family.

I have a fiance. We don't live together. We met up the day after Christmas. I was apprehensive about going over to his but I did in the end. There was his family and two more of his family and altogether there was 7 other adults. It was a risk and a gamble. I went to dinner with him. I did think about it heavily. None of them are party goers. We are all hard working and sober. I was not happy with the lack of ventilation there either. I was told to relax.

There is no body sick. I know, it was a huge gamble. Won't be doing it again.

Those that did mix make my blood boil.

I'm not sure people would admit to illness through Christmas mixing anyway

They are though. I work in a secondary school and am in every day now supervising KW & V kids. A colleague was telling us how their adult child (in their 20s) was not well at all with COVID. Guess what - she mixed with various friends that she doesn't live with between Christmas and New Year, with wider family on Boxing Day in a restaurant and has been on anti-mask demonstrations.

I am not looking forward to the next couple of weeks as this type of thing pans out.

@Sertchgi123 people have different circumstances. My dad won't be here next Christmas, maybe even by summer. There was no way I was missing a last family Christmas or making him waste his last months alive.
