I don’t want to sound like a I’m over-reacting. I just never really had to worry about this. I truly don’t know the chances.

I do consider myself a big time chicken person also despite not teaching seminars, I'd be open to do so..He’s a big time chicken person who gives yearly seminars on chicken health, so I just assumed they were set. I don’t think he’d be one not to purchase unvaccinated chicks to sell, but I could be wrong.
So, here's what we are all having to learn these days. Being polite does not require you to accept risk to your life or the lives of your spouse/children/livestock/pets/etc. because others are not thinking the same as you. Staying 6 feet apart, staying home save necessary trips to work, store, and doctor, masks, etc. are primarily intended to protect other people from *us* - I've recently had this conversation with someone who was feeling aggrieved about wearing a mask in stores, and found that this pretty educated person had no idea what asymptomatic carrier actually means. Asymptomatic carriers have the virus and can transmit it to others, even though they have *no idea they have the virus* because they have no symptoms. Someone who feels fine and shows up at your door does not automatically have the right to enter your home, walk your property, or anything else just because they are family/friend/neighbor/ignorant of what asymptomatic means or, worse, *don't care* what it means for others.It wasn’t my choice. They just showed up. Being related to family, it would have caused problems to ask them to leave. I’m also angry they ignored lockdown and the fact myself and another family member are in the “high risk” group.
I also have barn boots (shoes) and they stay on the farm. I doubt these people do.
Anything I can do post potential exposure? In conversation, I tried to get it across to them that Mareks is serious awful disease that is contagious. They didn’t seem to care. They are like, “oh well, it’s just a chicken. We’ll get more”.![]()
