(42,770 posts)my husband's vaccinated parents have Covid.
As for contracting it...Like you know exactly when you came in contact with an infected person (Day 1)...then there's incubation period in YOU which I read on average was 3.7 days (Day 2, 3 & 4). So you (if average) wouldn't test positive until (Day 5)? So based on what you said, testing day 5 falls in line.
Of course, what is more of a total guess is when you don't know where you got it. My in-laws don't - except constant flow of neighbors dropping in - and then the ironic - "oh, ya, we did go to that funeral"
Now my FIL who's still testing slightly positive 4 weeks in, can't walk. I was just reading how some covid patients lose their motor skills and have to literally be retrained to walk.
