How long until others in your household tested positive too?

[Mhem]

Hi,
I tested positive on Monday and have been quite unwell since Tuesday. My husband and daughter are testing negative and have no symptoms as of yet. How many days did it take for others to test positive after the first one of you tested positive?

Thank you all!

I had to go to the hospital yesterday for an outpatients visit, I'm wondering how many days from now I can consider myself clear from having got it there? Sounds like at least 10 day 'wait & see'. I'm CEV & it's a worry. It's weird how transmissible the current variant(s) are, yet still some household members not getting it. Neighbours, 5 adukts, 4 very unwell, no mitigations one the house, one never got it.

Each one of us got it individually and never passed it on. DS first, me a few weeks later, DD a few months later then DH few weeks later. DH and I isolated to a certain extent, but we didn’t isolate away from the kids at all when they had it.

It's not likely not that they don't 'get it', exactly, but that their immune systems successfully fight it off.

*It's likely not...

My DS tested positive and we isolated him in his bedroom. No one else in the house got it ( we were testing daily to check)

My DD is CEV and hasn't had it yet thankfully. This is despite attending school as normal , socialising as normal and going for frequent hospital check ups and some overnight admissions.

DH commutes into London three times a week and has to do a lot of networking and socialising for his job and has so far not had it.

I've never had it ( although I did get a positive LFT but no symptoms at all and the PCR came back negative )

I'm amazed to be honest. We know families where every single person has tested positive over the space of a week and are now going through their second infections.

A friends husband ( late 40s) died of Covid few weeks ago. The whole family had tested positive and recovered at Christmas and then all tested positive again just before Easter. He died within three days of his positive test.

I just don't understand how random this virus is.

4 days for DD to show as LFT positive catching it from her bf who tested positive day after she kissed him
She isolated in her room immediately and we disinfected everything constantly

2 days later youngest shows LFT posituve

4 days later (6 days after initial LFT positive) me to show LFT positive, I was LFT even oct negative in that first week despite showing covid symptoms a day after first DD got if

DH and adult DD never tested positive both times I had it. They remained negative throughout both occasions.

DH has since had it, more recently. I didn't catch it off him.

DD has never caught it despite living with me when I had it, staying in a tent with a friend when he got it or when her university flatmates got it. She has tested negative throughout and two antibody tests have been negative too.

DD2 tested positive on Thursday 14th after being in prolonged close contact . with her friend on Tuesday 12th (friend positive on the 13th). I was expecting her to be positive but not as quickly. I was positive on Wednesday 19th having developed odd symptoms overnight.

Nobody else (DH and DD1) are yet and I'm hoping both will have escaped. I've been wearing a mask when others are around, staying in my room and making sure windows are open etc which hopefully has helped.

I'm on day 9 I think and this morning had my first feint positive line after 5 minutes or so. Up until today they've been clear positive lines immediately (even before the control line).

DP had it back in October, no one else caught it... ( 8 in the house)
dbro and his gf had it in feb and no one else caught it... so currently me, my mum, my sister and the kids haven’t had it yet. We did thing dd had it back in feb too but we tested her 5 times, pcr and lateral and all negative, turned out it was just a bad cold.

My kids have had it twice and I didn't get it at all. We just lived normally.

My DS on the Monday, me Tuesday, DH Wednesday

So a full house in three days.

Dp had it, I didn't despite trying to catch it off him because I wanted a covid recovery certificate for our holiday (it would have avoided an expensive pcr). To be honest I fancied a week off work too

DH was the last in ours and I think it was about 8 days after the first one had symptoms. I forget exactly when the tests were.

No one has passed it on to anyone else here (3 occasions)

Since September 21 it’s been in my household 5 times.
One person has had it twice, 3 people just once and one person no times. They have all been separate infections which no one in the house has passed onto another in the house.
There is a chance everyone in your house could escape it.

I had Covid a few weeks ago and no one else in the house caught it.

2 days for three of us and 5 days for the 4th.

I had scratchy mouth and eyes like hay fever on Mondays, Tuesday sneezing all day. Wednesday needed to dinLFT as at work so needed to test - very faint line. Thursday string mine. Friday DH and DS positives, Saturday DD positive. Sunday I'm negative
Everyone: had mild Cold Symptoms only
Think we were also lucky

My eldest on the Wednesday, me on the Saturday.
Then my 14 year old on the Sunday,6 year old on the Tuesday and the 7 year old on the Wednesday.
Husband was positive on the Saturday, 2 are still neg.

DS had it in November and we all dodged it. DD & DH had it January and I didn't. None had any symptoms.

I tested positive on Wednesday, felt crappy with cold symptoms for a couple of days but nothing else. Hoping that the others don't get my version. Kids both single vaccinated and myself & DH triple.
