Monday we had dinner with SO's cousin. One of which had prolonged exposure to a symptomatic COVID case... turns out J&J was a horrible choice to get vaccinated with. Of the 5 of us at dinner, I'm the only one who developed symptoms (and tested positive). Everyone else had Moderna. We're assuming it was the Delta variant given I developed symptoms under 24 hours. First couple days were awful and I should have taken more days off work... but I'm on the mend (each day has been measurably better). Even vaccinated, this was no joke. Kudos to every one pushing vaccines out there. I can't imagine how I would've turned out without the vaccine in my veins. Also shout out to c_hawk, will respond when I have my head out of the medicated clouds. The live stream demo was lovely to listen to. The visual reminded me of HAM radio waterfall displays. Hope you're crushing it. \m/
Did person with known prolonged exposure ultimately test positive? If not, you'd be a contact of a contact through that chain of transmission and that wouldn't count as confirmed contact and we'd look elsewhere for exposures. I also wouldn't be so quick to jump on the blaming of JnJ versus Moderna when you could have had exposure elsewhere. But glad to hear you're improving and glad you enjoyed the birds!
Ultimately no. They had gone directly from contact point to dinner, though. The other theory is someone at my (small) apt complex had it and unknowingly spread through the communal laundry unit. Fun fact, without a sense of smell, I smash at wasabi eating feats. No pain, all gain.
