View submission: Likelihood of catching omicron?
I’m confused by the timeline. You saw your family on Sunday and they didn’t test positive until Thursday and Friday, but they were only sick for 2 days? And you guys didn’t test positive until Sunday? Is it possible you saw them after the birthday party? That window seems way too large if they were truly only sick for 2 days.
Edit: One aspect of the virus being so contagious is that it also infects people faster. It sucks because people get sick so quickly but it also clears more quickly as a result. So such a large gap in transmission just seems unlikely here. It’s more likely you picked it up from somewhere else, then gave it to your family (which is why they tested positive 2 days after you).

You could absolutely be right that we picked it up from my kids school or the grocery store. i only suspect that we got it from my sister bc we hung out with them on sunday, and then her entire family tested positive… followed by my entire family a few days later. but this omicron crap is everywhere now. so who really knows where we got it.
