Covid Exposure Question

Hi All,
We have friends that were due to spend the weekend with us. Friend just told me her daughter who lives with them is Covid + with symptoms.
I asked if they would test before they come and they said they will not test, but if they don't feel well they would not come.
They are anti-Covid fax which is their right but I thought a test would be a good idea before spending 3 days with them.
Am I being overly cautious for wanting to reschedule the visit?

Since the Covid test is only 46% reliable, I wouldn't put too much emphasis on it.
 
I would NOT have any visitors who have been recently exposed to Covid....especially if they think Covid is a hoax. Let them contend with this illness without exposing you. If they were Real friends and responsible people, they would Not be taking a chance on exposing others.

Thanks for your input Don. Yes, they are from that camp that believes this is a 'plandemic'. Therefore we never get into political discussions. Nevertheless, I think it is best to reschedule. I believe they will understand.

I don't think you are being overly cautious at all. The latest variant of Covid is rampant. Even though I'm double vaxxed and boosted and don't go out in crowds very often, I just got over a mild version, and even the low-grade fever and congestion were not pleasant.

It's overly cautious to re-schedule in many opinions, but with what you know and don't know, may be best to keep peace.

Others simply take, for years, one olive leaf capsule daily, and have not gotten sick nor been even ever concerned with getting sick at all.

It may be also that their diet is better than most, healthy, not unhealthy, so that's another hope to find out about - the preventions that work simply always, and without any concern nor any side effects.
 
Reschedule. regardless of if it is covid, I don't want to be exposed to colds, flu or a stomach virus. That is the best thing to do for everyone concerned. I don't think anyone wants to get sick or pass a bug on to others. Just common sense. Yes, I am vaccinated and boosted.

Nope! You are spot on to ask for a test, in fact, you shouldn't even have to ask.
 
Personally I wouldn’t want anyone in my home who are anti vax “hoax” believers regardless if they were willing to test or not. To me this is one of those “finding out who your friends really are” situations. Sadly, seem to come up too often these days.
 
You are wise to do whatever you can to protect your family! I've posted many times here about how Covid19 ravaged my extended family, despite shots and masking. It took me months to recover - all because my granddaughter thought she just had an allergy problem. If those folks can't wait to see you, their status as 'friends' is questionable, in my opinion. Stay safe!

There is a wide range of mindsets from "Vaccinations are 100% protection to "Covid is a hoax."
Covid is not a hoax; but the seriousness & the mortality rates are grossly exaggerated to create fear & sell vaccines & drugs. The same thing is starting now with Monkeypox. This is financially necessary to make up for waning interest in another useless vaccine - the flu shot.

Vaccines are not 100% effective - the manufacturers tell us that. However, I truly believe that without them, the Covid19 that I had would have led to hospitalization or death given my health and my age. I'm now postponing the boosters (per medical suggestions) because new formulations against the omicron '5' version are expected in the fall. So, I disagree that the shots are "useless." I will continue to get the flu shots and pneumonia shots as well.

Seriously? I have a diverse group of friends--love that actually--and can't think of cutting out anyone for differing beliefs unless its a hate issue towards another group of people.

I'd reschedule. Your friend told you they've been exposed and already agreed not to come if they're not feeling well. Sounds like she'd understand your being cautious. If not, that's her loss.
 
Rescheduling was the best decision. I think it's irresponsible for them to even consider coming into your home knowing they were possibly exposed to COVID. Too many people have hosted guests/parties and wound up infected with COVID. Personally, I would not chance it.

Must be nice to know everything.
