Incubation period nowadays?

[HotChocolateWithCointreau]

My DC kindly brought Covid back from school at the end of term...both started feeling off on Thursday evening and tested positive on Friday. So far neither me nor DH seem to have succumbed, but it seems too good to be true. Are we (likely) out the woods? I know incubation period is meant to be shorter nowadays than it was at the beginning...

DH fell ill on a Friday, we didn’t twig so he didn’t test until Sunday but came up positive within seconds.
I then felt ill Monday but tested negative until the Tuesday morning so 4.5 days after DH felt ill.
DC tested positive Thursday but had only really spent time with DH sat evening and Sunday afternoon before DH tested so 4/5 days.

I'm wondering this too... Spent Christmas Day with someone with cough and cold symptoms who has since tested positive. Google suggests incubation is still 3 to 14 days, which I think is the same as it has always been, but seems like a wide range!

5 or 6 days here, same for the person I got it from…

@HotChocolateWithCointreau did you manage to avoid it?!

Yes!!!

Very odd indeed as we didn't do anything differently.

We've had Covid in the house 4 times now and it's been really random who gets it...not everybody each time!

@HotChocolateWithCointreau gosh it's so strange isn't it!

@HotChocolateWithCointreau

It does seem illogical who catches it - I seem to be immune, do get very mild symptoms, dd gets pretty ill each time go figure!

I've always thought I was immune, never caught it even though my kids and husband had it but this time round it's floored me

I'd say three days or so. My mum (82) caught it at a Christmas carol service. She had cold symptoms and a few shivers for a few days week. That's with no vaccines.

5 days for me
