Living together with Covid

So I had been sick since before Thanksgiving . Never got a constant cough or runny nose , just felt anger and like something was eating at my brain and tounge however my blood pressure got up to 170 . I took a over the counter test and it was positive. But my wife has not come down with it I looked up

TextOnce one person becomes infected, there is a 12% likelihood that someone they are living with will become infected, too, according to University of Utah’s Utah HERO phase one study. The findings have not yet been published in a peer reviewed journal. Reports from China (also here), however, indicate that the report from Utah is similar to what’s happening elsewhere in the world.

So if there's only a 12% chance when living in the same house breathing the same air ... Why is it such a big deal with mask and vaccines?

Because it's now about CONTROL, nothing to do with health

I think that was from August 2020 and does not reflect any findings on delta or the big O, both of which are more transmissible than the original. That aside, I imagine that the percentage only raised a little with each one. My questions are: What is it about those who remain uninfected in a covid positive household? What behaviors prevent them from getting it? What is the nature of their immune response that prevents them from becoming infected?

somebody took the red pill...

Well this summer at a campground, where I am, Covid went through at least 3 times.
A high school football player who knew he was positive cause the team & more had
been sent home from school on Thur or Fri & the kid showed up to work on Sat morning.

A kid that I know (a friend) who was working there got it & was not allowed to return to
school until post quarantine & testing neg...neither of her parents got it. Parents
are fully vaxxed & when their kid was over the covid they took her to be vaxxed.

All 3 are fully vaxxed. Last week was Thanksgiving & that family had all their family to
their house (3 miles from campground) for dinner. Well the husband got off work early
this past Mon morning (29 Nov) to pick me up at 6:00am to drop me off at the hospital
for a procedure & p/u at 12:30pm or so to bring me back to the campground.

I got a call last night at 7:00pm & he is sicker than Bloody Hell with covid. DAMN! well I
had started back on me vits & IVM on Wed nite & will be taking IVM again tonight.

Also I wore a N99 mask & sat in the back seat behind passenger seat going & coming home.
I have been self isolating since the beginning except this past Spring forward started
competing again in Sheepherding which is outdoors...always sat with the same 3 or 4 people
& I also walk me dog several times a day at the campground meeting people but maintaining distance.

It will be interesting to see if his wife gets it...morbid obesity, liver sclerosis, smokes, some
new issue she will be seeing a heart specialist for in re to not enough blood flow to her brain.
They are both late 40s?
I did do an AB test in Oct hoping I had them do to all the outbreaks here, but I did not.

Cheers

I Actually ask if that was the case and she denied it. She had been trying to get a elective surgery approved.

Its about Control if this was about health they would stopped the vaccination at 70% 80%.

Your wife probably already had the virus, same goes with people who live together.

Here is an article that addresses natural immunity. www.bmj.com...

Someone can have had it and even a mild case three months ago can protect that person from getting the virus.

I probably had it twice, the second time being eighteen months after the first, and the same thing probably happened with the wife. I don't think that natural immunity protects a person well after eighteen months, or maybe the immunity to the first initial virus we had was not fully effective against the Delta version. Either way, this last bout was not too bad for her and was really weak for me. Definite odd taste with the covid for me, like constantly keeping nutrition yeast in my mouth or eating the chemistry of rotted fish, The taste of the norwegion fermented fish is way more intense, but maybe the rotted fish in worschenshire sauce is more similar.

Natural immunity is as good as being vaccinated from what I read, either way if your immune system is screwed, neither will work against the virus, you can't stimulate your immune system with a vaccine if you do not have an actively functioning immune system.
