Did you catch Covid from your kids? If so how quickly?

[Mabelbabelle]

My DD1 tested positive on an LFT on Tuesday (since confirmed on PCR). No real symptoms - only tested because of her friend testing positive. Now she’s pretty snotty with a bit of a cough but nothing major.

The rest of us in the family (DH, DD2 and me) are all negative so far. How likely is it that we will be spared?

I wouldn’t normally be so worried but DH has been very ill recently (not Covid related) and I worry that him catching Covid would be dangerous.

We’ve been keeping him and DD2 as separate as possible, but we are all in the same house. We’ve also been wearing masks and washing hands lots etc.

I’m hoping that since she’s likely to get less and less contagious we might be ok but any others have experience of this?

No - even though I slept in the same room with 2 dds two nights before they tested positive and shared water bottles and snacks with them the day before, as we were on a trip. Didn't isolate them during their infection and was sneezed and snorted on lots. DH and I stayed clear (and we had 3x pcrs plus umpteen lateral flows in the 3 weeks afterwards as we were part of ONS testing and then went on holiday). We were 2x vaccinated at the time

My daughter caught it and spent her 10 days isolation in the living room where I have my desk and work from home. It was mild - she felt tired and had a slight headache. Probably spent at least 10 hours a day with her! I didn't wear a mask and just thought if I get it I get it. I didn't get it.

I do think a lot depends on how much virus you are exposed to - and some people shed more than others. So a friend of mine, whole family caught delta from their 10 year old except youngest child who is fine. 6 weeks later youngest catches it at school.

DC2 got COVID in October. We didn't isolate from her within the house.
None of the rest of the house got it. She is too young to be vaccinated. DC1 had had her one jab a month before, H is double jabbed, and I'm double plus booster, so I'd say chances are the vaccines were doing their job.

DS is on day 8 of his Covid now.

DH and I are still negative.

Wondering how long before we can assume we are safe as on DS first day back at school on Tuesday I have a care home visit for work. Obviously I'll do a LFT but it still feels wrong?

DSs x2 tested positive 3 days after symptoms started. A few weeks ago.

Neither parent. Nor grandparents (3 of them) who had been in close contact with them caught it. (All double vacced, not boosted at the time)

Other way round here. I caught it first at work, DS tested positive 6 days later. I'm a single parent and he's only 8 so distancing wasn't even a question though, I still had to look after him.

Mine caught it from me. I was ill on Friday morning (negative LFT), worse on Saturday and by that evening had a positive LFT.

DH was feeling under the weather by Monday and DS by Tuesday. Both were tested on Monday as I'd had a positive PCR result on Sunday night, both positive.

All vaccinated.
