At home with my 4 yo bouncing off the walls right now. We picked him up from Preschool Friday with a fever around 102. Luckily got him a test that afternoon and it came back positive. It's now taking a week to get in for a test around here. Anyways, his fever lasted a little over 24-36 hours, no other symptoms. Everyone else is asymptomatic. Assume we would probably test positive since we live in the worlds smallest house with no ventilation.
One of my older brothers has been battling leukemia for over a year now and recently tested positive for corona so that means leukemia treatment goes on hold for 3 weeks or so. The corona morphed into pneumonia and caused his oxygen count to drop to dangerous levels. We were almost sure he was going to be placed on a ventilator but the pneumonia responded to treatment and he is much better now. We are extremely grateful to the good folks at MD Anderson for the fine work they do.

Out of school for 6 days. Which puts me out of work for 6 days.
Luckily all he has right now is a low grade fever. Otherwise he feels fine. Yall keep him in good thoughts that things stay that way.
You may not test positive for up to 5 days after exposure, but I am not sure that matters anymore as we are basically all exposed all of the time now days. You should be in the clear on having symptoms in another couple of days. My wife works for a very large healthcare company that's tapping out at 20,000 visits a day right now mostly due to omicron. They are seeing 2-4 days after exposure as the common timeframe for symptom onset after exposure. Which is faster than previous waves.
School nurse called yesterday and said he has a fever of 100.3. He’s six. So I had to go pick him up.
Seems like everyone will just get this stuff and move on at this point.
Touche'. Let's hope he didn't get your taste in women either.*

Then there is this from Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of mRNA. He has been banned on twitter, so you know that he is stating the truth:
Pretty sure God invented mRNA.
"Vaccine scientist Dr. Robert Malone believes there is some very good news emerging from the rapid spread of the coronavirus, suggesting that God may have given the world a “Christmas present” in the form of the omicron variant."
That's easy for Dr. Malone to say; he's fully vaccinated so he isn't worried about Omicron.
Facts. He did not discover mRNA and had no idea about it being used for vaccines. He discovered that he could use mRNA (which was discovered 27 years before in 1960) to activate and to prevent protein production.
Malone never got his PhD. So he fits right in with internet guys who haven't either and Joe Rogan.
