What are my chances of getting covid?

[SummersBreeze]

I am fully vaccinated. I was around someone last week who had a mild cold who eventually showed a positive on a home antigen test. This person is still somewhat mild but is coughing. I suspect her exposure was last Monday and she is also fully vaccinated.

I have an underlying condition that causes gut inflammation/infection in the gut so I am anxious that maybe my belly might be hit hard with a viral infection if I was to contract covid. I suppose it was last Thursday/Friday when this person had a mild cold. We shared the same room together for a while.

I suspect you'd have it by now if you were exposed thursday/Friday. I have it at the moment... Symptoms started sat night. Almost certainly from exposure weds or Thurs as barely saw anyone before that

I am not even able to tolerate a cold so I do a lot of things when I experience a cold to make sure it's not a deep cold like

• paracetamol, if my throat is dry/sore I like children's calpol
• vitamin c and zinc
• garlic and ginger
• plenty of fluids

I am increasing vitamin c and garlic and ginger over this week and I hope I don't get it.

Vitamin D is good too.

It's impossible to say if you'll get it or not . Many people have shared beds and houses with covid positive relatives and not caught it. Eat healthily and keep your fingers crossed.

Vitamin D is good too.

I forgot about vitamin D. I take that too.

The person in question had an exposure on Monday and came down with light cold symptoms by Wednesday/Thursday. She was testing on the antigen tests but they were negative. I mixed in her home on Friday but I didn't really share a room with her and she wasn't coughing then. She eventually had a faint positive over the weekend. We think she had the infection from Wednesday/Thursday but it was mild.

Thinking back to last week, I fi was exposed it would definitely be on Friday.

It wouldn't be any harm if I was to get covid at this stage. The last week I had off from work was back in 2019. I need an isolation holiday in my room.
