Break-through or unvaccinated?

I believe unvaccinated

Fully vaccinated, but we're in full mask mandate right now. Fellow young adults/teens, HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH MASK ACNE!!!!

Disposable masks are the way to go. Make sure to wash your face regularly, especially in the nose bridge area.

Cannot stand those disposable masks. I have sensory issues and the only ones I like are soft cotton ones. I do wash my face every night

How often do you wash the mask?

I do not wear the same mask more than once. I have about 15 on rotation. I have a small bag where I put dirty masks. I've bought the same 5 pack on amazon about 12 times now because I wear them out but the are my favorite ever

 

[chickentrains]

the price on the masks has raised though. If anybody else has favorites, let me know

I use N95 masks, and bought some different brands on Amazon when they came available again. The least expensive ones are less comfortable, but still, it's about safety, and hospital stays are definitely not comfortable!
And the N95 masks are the minimum necessary for coop cleaning.

A friend, his girlfriend, son and son's girlfriend have all contracted Covid as break through cases. Son and his girlfriend went to a funeral where everyone was unmasked and brought it home. Apparently all are significantly ill with fever and coughing, but have not needed hospitalization. I did not ask which vaccine they received. Caution is still needed.

My 6-year-old brought Covid home to us (we assume) from school. We are grateful that his case was very mild and he seems to have gotten over it without any complications. My husband and I are vaccinated, thankfully we have no symptoms, and have tested negative on the rapid test so far. I guess we have another week to go before we can say with 100% confidence we are in the clear.

My MIL tested negative on the rapid test, but they also gave her a PCR test b/c she has significant health problems, and she tested positive on that one. She is vaccinated. They gave her the antibody infusions as a preventative, and she never had any symptoms. I believe her 10 day isolation period ended yesterday.

Our four-year-old has tested negative so far, and has never had any symptoms. I hope vaccinations for younger children are approved soon.

I still wear my masks when going shopping and if I end up in crowded situations. Many of the cities and towns in Massachusetts are re-instating mask mandates. Cases of Covid have been greatly increasing since schools have re-opened. For the most part, IMHO masking up and social distancing while going about your daily business is the new normal and will likely be that way for quite awhile.
