Wife and I are both vaxxed. Our kid is just showing signs of a cold - fever was 101 for twelve hours and then gone. Wouldn't even get the test if not for the three positives.

Kind of a dilemma though. CDC guidelines are that I don't need to quarantine if I am fully vaxxed with no symptoms but work says I get two weeks off paid.

I wonder what I will do.

The vaccine (Assuming you didn't have some conspiracy nut job like the guy in Minnesota that was trying to destroy the vaccine by leaving them out of the fridge, or the nurse in Germany that was injecting about 8000 people with saline solution instead of the vaccine) does not stop you from getting the virus.

What it does is help prevent that, but it is not a guarantee to not get ill. If you do catch it, it helps you to not have as severe of a case. So like others have said, you likely would have been screwed and in a ICU. I am glad that you are not sick enough to have to go to the hospital, sucks you all got the virus though, hope everyone recovers quick and fully.

Best guess: @kestrel69 has a weak immune system.

Only about four of us out of 50 wear masks despite it being mandatory. All the mask wearers are vaccinated. My guess is about 20-30% are vaccinated, about par for this area. People openly discuss Covid being a hoax daily despite about 18 cases so far. County fair was last week. I saw about 12 people with masks on.

I expect an outbreak.
