My nephew who was supposed to fly in from Florida, today, canceled. He tested positive for Covid

And he fiancee is running a fever. I'm assuming it was detected on a pre-flight Covid test.

Both are double vaccinated so my worry meter won't exceed the red line, but it might come close.

1. were they boosted too?

and what was the date of the last vaccine shot?

Hope they are alright... but the vaccine should have always been a 3 shot (or 4 shot) affair.

And, as I have said in other posts, the vaccine doesn't prevent infection, the vaccine prevents serious illness. IF we were all vaccinated, vaccine would cause the virus to die out (die is a hard term here... not replicate would be more accurate).

but we didn't all get vaccinated.

Hope they are OK.

3. I'm not sure about the booster.

They are both pretty cautious so I'm hoping so.

I'm triple vaxxed and still mask up and keep a bottle of hand sanitizer in my car. It gets used before I take off my mask. But despite all that, I fully realize I could have a minor slip up and get infected.

Certainly not how I envisioned spending my retirement.

2. I hope they are ok!

Glad they realized it before visiting you!

4. Me too!

I keep repeating myself by stating I'm so weary of this whole situation, but there's not a damn thing I can do about it but act responsibly and hope those around me do the same. So far, so good.

5. I'm tired of it too.

Glad you & kitties weren't exposed! Personally, I wouldn't let anyone into my home right now but to each their own.

6. Yes, sounds like they should do fine. And it's always nice to read

about responsible, caring family testing and canceling their visits.

7. I just talked to him

For him it's like a moderate cold and he thinks he's getting past it. BUT of course I told him not to get ahead of things, and to continue following any directions he got from the doctor.

I also told him we are forecast to get slammed with 4 to 6" of snow, Saturday night, so their visit might have been extended, since their return flight was on Sunday.

9. Definitely for that first. Might be a little silver lining

the delay given the travel disruptions this week. Our daughter just messaged from out west that they're "racing carefully" down out of the mountains to the airport, but they don't know yet for sure that "their flight will make them." Cautiously optimistic. I wish we'd get just about that much snow, to make everything beautiful for a while, and then melt away.

8. My son and his family are in the Red Neck Riviera too. I worry

for them.
