Anyone had some family members escape infection?

[RoseGoldEagle]

2 year old DS was the first to become infected, rest of us initially tested negative but I tested positive 4 days later. Two other DDs and DH have had two negative PCRs and consistently negative lateral flows over course of the last 12 days. Kids are all 5 and under and it is just me looking after them while DH works, so I can’t isolate from them (or them from each other) (obviously as a household we are all isolating). 5 year old DD has no symptoms at all (and all tests so far negative). 1 year old DD has had symptoms from the start, but is also consistently testing negative. Doesn’t seem likely to me that DDs will escape it, but seems odd they’ve not tested positive yet. Be interested to know if anyone else had some family members avoid it, even when isolating from each other wasn’t really feasible? And how long it took for everyone to show signs? Thanks!

Three year old Dd had covid. We didn’t isolate from her obviously. Ds2 who is one years old was just all over her hugging/kissing he even drank from her bottle a few times when he got hold of it and Ds1 shares a bedroom with dd. No one caught it from her and we are unvaccinated so I was sure we would get it from Her.

I even did an antibody test a months later and it was negative…

DC3had it and none of us caught it, despite DC2 sharing a bedroom and usually a bed when they go to sleep.

DC1 had it a few months later and no one else caught it.

My 5 year old was positive in September. We have 7 of us in the household and only he has it he was sharing a bed with me and his sister shared a drink with him the day he tested positive he has autism and adhd so couldn't lock him away ! He had no symptoms I had to get him tested as he was due an op ! We would of never known x

Nobody in my close and wider family has caught it. We are all working and DS is at uni.
All double vaccinated and I've also had booster...maybe we've just been lucky.

We've had it twice in our house, on both occasions the only person to have it was the original positive person.

We were careful, lots of hand washing, isolating as much as possible from the others, positive person wearing a mask if walking around the house etc

Unvaccinated household here, 18 year old had it in august, my teen daughter, myself and my partner all avoided it despite car sharing and mask sharing with the 18 year old on the day his symptoms started and he tested positive later that night, we did isolate him once we knew, my advice would be to open a good few windows and leave them open a bit get a good air flow through the house

Dd had it, she's 11. She isolated in her room and had one bathroom to herself. No one caught it. Until 7 days after her isolation ended, ds1 got a positive LFT. Just got his PCR results and the rest of us are going for one today.

My husband took a positive PCR test on Wednesday.

I have very similar symptoms and have had six negative LFTs since. Waiting for PCR test results.

It seems so weird that we have the same runny nose, cough, fatigue and general malaise, with him two days ahead of me, symptom-wise, and he has covid and I have some other virus.

I didn't get it in our household. Only thing I can think is that I am the only one that takes a high dose of vitamin D. Know that vitamin D has been mentioned a few times. Can't think of anything else

I had 3 dc all with it. DH and I didn’t catch it. The kids self isolated and used different bathrooms. We used masks in open spaces. Let them out in the garden daily. Kept windows open where we could. DH and I double vaxxed. Hoping our booster is due soon!

I’ve now tested positive by both Pcr and lft. A relief to know what it is as I felt rough this afternoon. Very annoying to have had something else. I am five months out from my second jab.

Unvaccinated household here

@TheMawisbraw why are you an unvaccinated household?

Family of 5 here...

Ds had it in the summer and the rest of the family didn't catch it.

Dd had it in September and the rest of the family didn't catch it.

I think we were lucky to have it in the house in the summer and September, when the windows and doors were open a lot of the time - I am less sure we'd escape catching it now during the winter 😬

I had one Astra then they decided it was dangerous for my age so I didn’t want the second and my partner decided he didn’t want it as he’s convinced he had it feb 2020 tbf I think he did, my teens don’t want it and I don’t want them to have it either I think it’s more dangerous than covid in that age plus the 18 year old has natural immunity now. I’m not anti and I’m pleased my parents and grandparents have had it.

Yep. 2 members of the household have had it on 2 separate occasions without infecting anyone else. family of 4, 2 DC at primary school.
Although when I had it last Christmas, nobody else got tested because we all
Self isolated for the whole of the Christmas period. None of them had symptoms though. I was really poorly and had all the symptoms under the sun.
Second time round it was DC1 that caught it just after schools went back in Sept and we were all testing daily. LFTs and occasional PCRs. Nobody else caught it.

I know lots and lots of families where not everyone caught it prior to Delta.

Since Delta, in every family I know who's got it, everyone's caught it.
