Family Still Isolating
38 Answers
I have family still social distancing and I'm not allowed in the house. I'm just wondering if anyone out there is still isolating or knows of people isolating. I feel like they are the only ones but I assume that's not the case. They aren't vulnerable - just fear of getting COVID.

Never isolated once.
(But I'm in relativly good health)
My Sister also never isolated
(She has an auto immune disease)
Neither of us has suffered any ill effects.
Weve both had Covid.
Both were ill for a day.
Neither of us are vaxxed
Both doing well.
Her sister in law on the other hand,
Vaxxed to the hilt,
STILL isolating,
Scrubbing hands,
Still masked outside,
And is housebound with FEAR....

Sqad - as far as I know the (covid) vaccine just makes the symptoms less severe but you still catch covid and can still spread it. I had covid not long after my booster. I have heard that the UK is the first country to approve a new Moderna (I think) vaccine that might actually prevent people being infected.
//Seems reasonable to me if they want to avoid getting Covid for whatever reason.//
Only if they are going to continue isolating for the rest of their lives, sqad. With Covid now endemic it is inevitable that everybody will be exposed to the virus, probably multiple times, unless they isolate from every other human being for the rest of their lives.
// My neighbour still wears a mask whenever he goes outside. Don't think he has any health issues.//
If the mask is of the usual type – poor quality, ill-fitting and worn, handled and treated incorrectly, it will do neither him nor anybody else any good. If he wears one of reasonable quality, wears it correctly, stores it properly and changes it frequently, it may provide a very small measure of protection to those around him. If he really wants to get any benefit from wearing a mask he must wear an FFP3 or FFP2 variety and wear, store and treat it correctly. This will provide him with 98-99% protection. And he must wear it continually for the rest of his life because, as above, exposure to the virus is inevitable.
Isolation is effective for so long as you practice it but it must be complete isolation. If anybody your family members mix with does not do likewise (like, for example, if they go to the shops) the rest might as well not bother.

237...yes, on balance I think that you are correct in that a vaccinated person may well pass on the virus.
However , the first vaccinated person may, pass the virus on to person 2 who will then have mild or no symptoms and if she passes it on to person 3 who is also vaccinated will be in the same situation, mild or no symptoms and so on until it meets a non vaccinated person who may get , no symptoms, mild symptoms or be seriosly inconvenienced.
The vaccine has brought a halt to the spread, but I get what you mean 237.
Some of these "mild" symptoms are quite debilitating and may last for 2-3 weeks....headache ,lassitude, anorexia, loss of taste and smell etc.
