Everyone in their household was vaccinated. My parents got boosters a few weeks back and I think they were just out of the 2 week "worry window" before exposure, not that it helped. My mother continues to recover well and my father developed cold symptoms and tested positive yesterday. My sister and her younger son (20 years old) still negative. My mother uses a walker and had to go through chemo and radiation for breast cancer at the height of the pandemic. Was a lifelong smoker who only quit when chemo started but fortunately has permanently stopped (and couldn't go buy more if she wanted too...). My father is an 84 year old, obese type 2 diabetic. If he recovers as well as my mother seems to be that should tell us something. They both tick a lot of dangerous boxes for any serious respiratory virus. My sister was told that my mother could stop quarantineing (is that a word?) as of this Saturday and my father could do the same the following Saturday. At least now that they both have it they don't have to try to distance from each other (which I don't think they ever really did anyway, basically impossible in their living space) and continue to not really enjoy each other's company...
Were they vaccinated?
