As both parents work, he's in daycare. Last week, there was some coughing. Jr tested positive again. By now, their entire household has lit up. So far for this thing not touching children and, if they get it, not spreading it the adults in the room. I guess that was also many variants ago...

Never made sense to me since obviously they could catch it and pass it around, because they were. Sorry to hear that about your family. I hope the daughter recovers quickly. I also hope we don't see another epidemic of hidden knock-on health problems with kids in 10, 20, 30 years. :-/ Lots of people have it in our circle of acquaintances now. 4 co-workers, a few co-worker spouses or SOs, a nephew, a friend of the family for the 4th time I believe - she has a kook for a doctor who convinced her that the vaccine would be bad for her and that Ivermectin would help. Her son too is on his 2nd go-around; he is of age and got the J&J but no boosters as I recall. I'm still feeling the effects: tired and fatigued at random times for no apparent reason. My wife's cough came back as well. Tomorrow is 14 days since our exposure. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.

Anything that reduces the initial viral load is helpful, and hopefully natural immunity + additive %s is as close to 100% as possible. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
