To the Virus Mavens

[tbaydog]

Son and wife had virus, recovered over three weeks, both tested positive.

My 12 year old and I never got sick or virus, why?

 

[Jeffreauxdawg]

Because you obviously have kryptonite in your veins and magma in your testicles.

 

[HamSammich]

Because you’re asymptomatic. You have the virus, however didn’t suffer any of the symptoms.

You are now able to spread to other people who may not be so lucky.

 

[jethreauxdawg]

You must’ve warn your mask at all times

Or gotten a false negative test or you’ve got a Ricky and Lucy thing going on in the bedroom. Those are the only possible conclusions. This thing is more contagious than any disease we’ve ever dealt with before. You should probably get a divorce.**

Have you and your 12-year old been tested?

There are theories that the virus has weakened or mutated, and is not nearly as contagious as it was in January through May.

You also may have type O blood, which has been less affected by covid, as long as you don't have a vitamin D deficiency.

I'll give you credit, you came to the right place to talk about virology.

 

[msudogsrule]

There are so many variables here, and this isn’t much of a case history to work with.

Number 1: We don’t know, precisely, how it spreads. We have really good ideas on the transmission, but this still such a new disease that scientists are still working it out. We also don’t know what viral load is needed to trigger the response in the body.

2: We don’t know your health situations. Blood type, fitness, etc. Those have some correlation to outcomes, although the causality is not understood nor confirmed.

3: What was your exposure level to them? That is not listed here.

4: Is it possible that you and/or your son were the original asymptotic spreaders for your household? If so, you would both test negative in the nasopharyngeal swab test after your immune system handled it.

5: How were each of you tested? The different tests have different failure rates. It is not inconceivable that you fell into that area and none of you were actually positive. I am NOT saying this is the case, but it is not unheard of.

 

[Crazy Cotton]

Probably worth getting the antibody test in a few weeks, suppose you could have been asymptomatic?

 

[dorndawg]

This is WAY too reasonable, fella

Based on posting history, you seem to be one who would believe they can will the virus away. So let's go with that- you intimidated the virus too much.
As for your son, if kids under 13 really don't show symptoms and/or catch it as readily as older populations, then thats why.
...or you love your 12yo more and willed away the virus for the both of you.

My wife and 7 year old daughter both got the flu but we thought it was just sinus infections at the 18 Gator Bowl. We were in a hotel room for two days in very close quarters plus the car ride home. My daughter got cold at the game and spent a quarter bundled up with me. My wife started getting aches and a fever on the way home so we stopped in at Urgent Care and to our surprise they both had the flu. All of that time in close quarters with hugs and kisses, I never got the flu.

Guessing it’s been a while for you and the Mrs.!

Well played, sir

My wife and kid had the flu last year at the same time and I didn't get it, or at least I had zero symptoms. Sorry this isn't the gotcha moment you hoped for.

Regular flu can be asymptomatic as well. That's how it spreads.

 

[RocketDawg]

Dawgstudent will award all posters with BS degrees in virology or epidemiology (your choice) at the end of the year. Some may even get Master's.

I’m sure. I just think that we as a species have a million different systems working for us. It’s why my entire family tree drinks, smokes, and eats completely unhealthy diets yet I knew all of my grandparents and 3 of my great grandparents but my wife of the same she’s family didn’t do any of those things and she only knew one of her grandparents because they all died of complications from high blood pressure and heart disease.
