So I’m having blood drawn tosay for a serology panel.

A few weeks ago, our one year old had a slight fever runny nose and a cough for a day or two, 5 year old had sore throat and fever and tested positive for strep, wife myself and 7 year old had two days of stomach issue and slight headache. Didn’t think anything about it until I talked to pediatrician and she said a lot of the kids who have it end up having strep too.
Then 4/5 days after my brother in law and gf stayed with us she came up with it.

So now I’m thinking we had it and gave it to her?

Interesting as my Son had strep twice late last year and early this year.

Our dr said that right now preliminarily that you get 3 months of immunity from having had the virus. My family of 5 all tested positive a couple weeks ago. There is so much unknown right now that nothing is for sure anyway. Excited that a vaccine may be available soon.

This thread is a fascinating study in how misinformation spreads and is so hard to combat sometimes. A few posts from the past few days:

Our daycare's new policy is a little wild to me.

If a child has a "primary symptom" of COVID, they are presumed positive and must stay home for at least 10 days or until symptoms cease. This means fever (which is a given and already kept kids home) or cough.

I'm sorry, but my kid spends the entire winter with a cough. Daycare is a petri dish. He genuinely coughed (with a few breaks in between colds) from October - February last year.

I'm all for taking him to get tested if he's running a fever, but the cough thing threw me a bit. He's already had 2 this year with no fever or other symptoms.

Am I tripping?

No clue how we'll handle work + looking after him should he have to stay home for a large portion of the winter if he comes down with a cold.

Isn't that the point? Daycares are really only being allowed to stay open because closing them would make it so that many parents couldn't work. It's not a surprise to me that they're being very conservative about trying to keep kids there healthy.

Yeah, it is. It's just frustrating as a parent to have to get this little dude tested every time his nose runs or he develops a cough. Testing for COVID as an adult is uncomfortable and inconvenient.

Having your parents hold your arms down while a strange woman grabs you by the head and shoves a swab into your brain as a toddler is a whole other ****ing deal.

Look, I get it, it just sucks.

I just don't want this to get to a point where a kid coughs because his throat is dry and then all of a sudden a parent has to figure out how to pay the bills because they're out of work for 10 days, even though there is no COVID.

When it comes to immunity and how long it is all just a guess at this point. Yes that study and others have hypothesized immunity will last a long time like SARS1 but they don't know because we are only 11 months into this pandemic.

We have also seen more and more confirmed reinfection cases across the world.

Covid attacks the body in ways scientists\doctors haven't ever seen before and they still don't have a firm grasp on it. Everyone certainly hopes we have long lasting immunity but if this virus behaved like SARS1 it would have died out months ago.

It’s more infectious

It behaves very similar

It’s not a scary space virus. It acts the same as most other viral infections.

We need to quit with these wild claims that are outside of what we expect to happen until they are proven the norm.

It's still a virus and our immune system reacts to it like one.

At this point, I'm very confident that the vast, overwhelming majority of folks who have gotten it are safe form reinfection for a good amount of time.

The difference between SARS1 and SARS2 is that SARS1 had a quicker onset of symptoms and didn't have pre-and-asymptomatic people walking around infecting others around them. It was much easier to contain as a result. As far as I know, it wasn't due to the immune system response.

No it doesn't act the same otherwise they would know how to treat it but they really don't. My daughter deals with it every day and she tells me the doctor's\nurses are throwing shit against the wall to see if it sticks.

Well, since your daughter says it, that settles it.
