It takes about a month for the vaccine to be fully effective, and it's not 100% effective.

Yeah, he had only gotten the first shot. I think it’s 2-3 weeks after the second shot that you have immunity.

Moderna study showed 80% effectiveness after first shot after 14 days.  Pfizer I think was 50%'ish.  Still.  Awful luck.

My dad got Pfizer first shot and tested positive 3 days later. It was already in the house tho. So close to not getting it. However he is better now after a rough couple of weeks.

For people that have had it and recovered, are you going about life as if Covid doesn’t exist now? Are you worried about the seemingly rare chance of getting it again?  I know I would be going straight to the bars and restaurants that are kinda skirting the Covid rules

i've been pretty great throughout. Although i felt kind of crappy for a week or two around a month or so after i had it. covid related? maybe. i also feel kind of tired overall but i'm also super old now so who knows. 

yeah i'm not worried at all about it right now. better chance of getting struck by lightening then getting it a second time within 6 months of having had it. it's a super nice and relaxing feeling to not have to think about it.

I still wear a mask because so it's not like Covid doesn't exist.  But I did go get a beard trim without fear of the barber giving me COVID when my mask was off.

I would worry about looking like an bad person and also I probably wouldn't want to hang in a bar full of the kind of people who would want to skirt the rules

Pretty much doing my thing. Wear a mask to avoid the shaming.

I'd suggest an antibody test. Probably already rolled through it.

Pretty much every person I know has had it, and I've been "exposed" probably a dozen times....Kid in school all year.... Figured I had it at some point, but my antibody test came back negative 2 weeks ago.

My parents (60's) had my sister's family (3 school age kids) over to watch football on Saturday. My 13 year old niece had a cough. Today she tested positive for covid  :dubious:

well hope your folks are negative at least.
Brother in law has it too. Parents tested negative luckily.

SIAP, just wanted to make a public service announcement, ITT: 

If you have friends / family over the age of 65 or who have underlying health problems that make them high for severe COVID disease and they test positive, encourage them to talk to their doctor about getting monoclonal antibody therapy like bamlanivimab or REGN-COV2 to decrease their risk of severe disease. Sometimes, this doesn't get brought up because they may have been tested without having a doctor visit or they aren't feeling that sick at the time of the positive test. They should ask about getting this even if they aren't feeling terrible as the treatment seems to work better if given early in the disease course.

So, my in-laws are not doing great.  In addition to Covid, they both have C Diff.  Not sure how they got that but it's a shitty deal, literally.    So, in addition to needing oxygen they are also needing fluids to keep hydrated. My FIL is at the hospital now being given an IV and oxygen but they won't keep any Covid patients that don't need a ventilator so he'll be going home but hopefully hydrated and with an increased blood oxygen level.  My wife went out there to take care of them but was told by the doctor not to stay because of the risk of her getting C Diff.
