Here are the results of the poll from September 2021 for reference:
Someone help me with the first question. How do I categorize my adult son and his partner (don’t live with me)? They don’t really live in my household but are not “extended” family?
I said a household member has been positive but by that I mean my sister since for a few days she she tested positive we "lived"together at Disney. My employer considered her a household context for purposes of guiding the testing protocol. But none of my household family members have tested positive.
You can consider him part of your household if you prefer. It’s more important to me to have more participation than to be strict about definitions.
FWIW I consider “extended” family to include my “close family” as well. It’s more inclusive term that doesn’t exclude anyone. So if I went to a family reunion with my extended family, I would expect my children and siblings to be there as much as I’d expect my cousins to be there.
I hesitated a little too as the only person in our family who had been positive is our son who was in college and caught it there. But I just called him household anyway.
We just returned from WDW last Saturday and my son tested positive for COVID on Wednesday and my daughter plus husband tested positive yesterday. Fully vaccinated and we wore masks even outdoors except when eating.
I’m currently quarantining in the basement as wife and both kids are positive. Waiting my turn, and diving into the WDW planning with my newfound free time. Will be posting my November itinerary soon, searching for wisdom from you guys
I can’t answer just yet. I am fully vaxxed including booster, have never tested positive and neither has anyone I’m my household. BUT, I am quarantined here at home. I was out of state the last few days, staying with my sister as we worked on funeral plans for our brother and she started feeling sick and tested positive yesterday. I checked into a hotel then headed home today. Really sucks. I will be so upset if neither of us can attend the funeral next Friday. I may see if it’s possible to push out a couple more days.
I’m sorry for your loss. All the more terrible if this stupid virus prevents you from celebrating his life and having some closure through tradition and ceremony.
I just finished my 10 days of COVID…It sucked, but I’ve had all 3 shots so it was a very unpleasant head/chest cold and not fatal or any need for urgent care
Kinda glad I got it out of the way for my Universal trip in 2 weeks!
My DD24 is on day seven since first symptoms. Day six since positive rapid test. She doesn’t live with us except some holiday breaks, so we have not been exposed. She is fully vaccinated including booster. Had a slight cough and some head congestion plus runny nose. As of yesterday, she was feeling back to normal with no symptoms.
DH’s cousin died of Covid in December 2020. He was in his 70s. A 63 yr old guy in our community (a casual acquaintance of DH) passed away this week. He was not vaccinated.
None of the boosted people in my house have been diagnosed or felt sick enough to be tested ever. DD14 is only double vaxxed and got it from a friend who had a “cold”. She said three overall days of feeling bad and one day of feeling like she was gonna die. No fever or any serious symptoms, just really tired with a headache and sore throat and nauseous from the congestion. I visited her in quarantine with my KN95 on each time to check on her and bring her meds and food. And I guess she’s boosted now. I don’t know how none of the rest of us got it from her. Just that booster I guess and maybe that mask for me since I was taking care of her. I don’t know how people can not take care of their kids, teens or not when they’re sick. I wouldn’t be like Beauty in the BatB show! Or that mom who put her kid in the trunk holy cow! Also, she has her own bathroom in her room so that might have saved my son.
Started feeling congested last night, tested positive today. Hopefully I get over this quickly and doesn’t spread to my family in my house. I have isolated myself in the bedroom since walking in the door yesterday. Stupid Covid!
Fully vaccinated and we wore masks even outdoors except when eating.
