Husband positive not vaccinated!!

[looneylou201]

Hi my husband tested positive today , he's been in bed most the day banging head and high temp. He's not vaccinated an im so worried he is going to get really ill 😭😭 he's normally fit and well x

My brother was really poorly for a few days then got over it really quickly. Also unvaccinated. Don't worry too much. X

I’ve had it twice. Unvaxxed. First time was pretty bad but had it a couple of weeks ago again and it was mainly just a sore throat. Honestly, my vaxxed friends have suffered much worse with it.

Thank you both that eases my mind. This is his first time having it so hopefully it won't be too bad for him. I had it December 2020 very mild but his already seems worse!

I'm unvaxed, had it twice, both times quite poorly but nothing more than a few days in bed. Don't panic

Why isn't he vaccinated ?

Your husband will be fine! My DH and I are both unvaccinated. We've both had it twice since Feb. Extremely mild. Honestly barely even knew we had it. Most vaccinated people have had it much worse.

I hope your husband feels better soon!
If you don't have anything useful or compassionate to add to the thread why comment.
I don't get why people feel they have a right to know why someone isn't vaccinated. Since when are the medical notes of another person anyone else's business!

4 of us in the house here, none are vaccinated and we only recently had it. Kids had very few symptoms, adults had a lot of the new symptoms (nausea, aches, congestion etc) but mild.

Since when are the medical notes of another person anyone else's business!

Maybe since the OP decided to share it with the internet?

@WigglesWaggles

Because it changes the response.
If the dh has been unable to be vaccinated for some medical reason, that lends itself to a different response from that the OP might get if he has chosen not to.
No-one is asking for medical notes, OP can say "he wasn't able to due to a medical condition" or OP can say he chose not to.

Generally, walking down the street, or working alongside someone we don't have the right to know, but the OP has started a thread which literally says "Husband positive. Not vaccinated!!" so it is pretty pertinent, and information was put, by the OP in the thread title.

Why isn't he vaccinated ?

Why not ?

The risk of him being seriously ill is higher if he's unvaccinated whatever the reason for him not being jabbed.

Not being vaccinated doesn't mean he'll definitely be more ill than a vaccinated person - just that the chance he will be is higher.

Either way OP is worried. Hope he's on the mend soon.

Try not to worry too much OP. My whole family had it recently (all unvaxxed) and had nothing worse than headaches and a bit of a high temperature for a couple of days. Good luck - I hope he's feeling better soon Xx

I'm double jabbed and had the booster, recently had covid and was pretty ill and its taking a while to get over the symptoms.
Everyone is different, different symptoms, different recovery times.
Treat him like it's a cold, paracetamol, plenty of drinks, a little food, soup etc and give him time to get over it.
If he takes a turn for the worse get medical treatment but I'm sure it won't come to that

Have you got a oxygen sats monitor?
If not get one and check a couple of times a day

Don't panic. I had Cv19 before there were vaccines. Uncomfortable and like flu but I was OK. I'm 57 and v overweight by the way.

I'm on day 6ish now. I've had worse colds. Only giveaway was a cough with no other symptoms other than tired and achy, but was the end of term so thought it was that.
Apart from a head cold I feel much better today.
From a slightly chubby 40ish person, no vaccines.
Diaclaimer: might still die, definitely will one day, probably not from this. 🙈

@adriftabroad

Surely you realise by now that vaxxed or not makes no difference? (If he is relatively young and healthy and not overweight)

He'll feel low for a few days.

Clearly that isn't true.

Anecdotally, there will be people who are lucky enough to 'only' feel unwell for a few days, but actual statistics show that the risk of being infected (and being seriously ill or dying) is higher if you're unvaccinated.

Most vaccinated people have had it much worse

They really haven't.

Whos business is it if you are vaccinated or not. Some people are so rude.

If he takes a turn for the worse get on and ask for some of the medication from the GP.

Vitamins like quercitin, zinc, C and D have also been used as treatment options…liposomal is best if you are buying it..

All vaccinated here except for son as he is under 11. He’s had it three times now, each time worse than the last. Still coughing and poorly three weeks after testing negative. None of us have caught it despite no isolation and him frequently coughing all over me. To say vaccinated people have it ‘much worse’ as one poster said is just utter bollocks.

My DH is unvaccinated and just had Covid - it lasted 4 days: started very suddenly with headache, body aches, tiredness with nausea and
a bit of an upset stomach. No fever or breathing problems . Now 100% again. 38, thin and fit. If you are concerned you can give Vits & supplements widely discussed elsewhere, as follows: Vit D, Liposomal Vit C plus Quertecin, Zinc. Also L-Glutamine and L-Lycine can't do any harm.
