Wife tested positive

I hope that both of you fully recover from this. The shot that you got will likely make a big difference in your recovery.
My neighbor around the corner had a breakthrough infection and he had gotten the J&J Vaccine. He was very sick at home for several days, but we saw him out walking this morning. His wife and daughter got the Modena shot and neither of them came down with a breakthrough infection.
 

Hoping you both have a good outcome. From all reports it seems those that have had the vaccination do get well quickly.
 
So sorry to hear that. Do keep us posted.

A good friend of mine is waiting on results of a test now. He just got his Blood Pressure under control enough to return to work and got sick. We are all hoping it is 'just' a cold or other more common upper respiratory issue.
 
Thanks for all the well wishes, and we are doing pretty well.

Took my third test yesterday and I continue to be negative, so I think my risk has probably passed.

My wife is still sick, but it it slowly getting better. It's been 10 days now since her first symptoms.

I have been what I call "semi-quarantined" I only go out when I have to, and I wear a mask when I do. To protect others not myself. I think I will end that today or tomorrow. I have not been to the gym since my wife tested positive, but plan to go back tomorrow. I think I am within CDC guidance for the vaccinated, we have not mandatory requirements here, and I can find no Utah guidance for the vaccinated. I was the only customer I saw in Walmart yesterday with a mask on.

No idea what the vaccinations did for us, I would like to think they kept me from getting the virus and kept my wife's symptoms mild, but we will never know. Statistics at the population level can tell you that, not one person's experience.

I am however convinced that my wife did have Covid at the time of her first test, which was negative. Her second was positive. But they only claim 85% effectiveness for the test, so that's not too surprising. Its the reason I have retested, now after 3 negatives I think I am ok.

Utah has made the testing quite quick and easy. Sign up online, drive to a nearby testing van, no need to get out testing is done through the window. Then drive home and get the results quickly by email. All at no cost to me. From beginning (signing up online) to end (email with test results), no more than an hour total. They give you a choice between the rapid test, which they say is 85% and a slower test. The slower test is supposed to be more than 90% effective, but it takes 2 days to get results.
 
@Alligatorob
Thank you very much, for the excellent and detailed update for us.
It is very informative for others, as well as it's great for us to know how you and your wife are doing, now too.
