COVID has hit our house

If you are both positive, there is no need to stay away from each other.

When it hit our household, the three positives took over the upstairs level and DD (negative) moved downstairs. She had control of the kitchen and kept us fed.

ETA If you don't already have one, I recommend getting a pulse oximeter to keep an eye on your oxygen levels. Hope it continues to be a mild case for your household.

Geez, that sucks. I hope it’s only allergies that’s troubling you and that your DH continues to have a mild case. 

  Thanks for this chart, leftturnonly. Going to keep this handy, especially with all the corn crops starting to get cut down around me. I used to have a really good handle of my allergy symptoms. Then we moved to a more rural, farming area, right when COVID blew up. Now my allergies do weird things, especially in the fall.

 Twistedscissors- I hope your DH has a mild case, and if you to have it, the same for you

Yes the Delta variant common symptoms are stuffy/runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, cough.

My dh has those symptoms as this is his allergy season. He tested negative.

Also dh, ds, and I both run mild fevers sometimes with our allergies.

You're correct. I've known of a few that have only has the runny nose and sneezing from the delta and it does confuse some that they also suffered from seasonal allergies.
A headache can also be a symptom. A neighbour few doors down from me ONLY had a headache. Apart from the headache he felt fine. The only reason he got tested ( PCR)was because he can't ever remember having a headache and it was so unusual. Although he didn't think he had come into contact with a co-worker who did have Covidas they worked in different departments he thought he would be best yo get tested as a precaution.

OP I hope it is your allergies but it's more than likely that it could very well be Covid. People that test positive are infectious for two or three days before any symptoms appear so the chances are they have already unknowingly passed it on and more so if you happen to live in the same house. It can be two or three days or even a little longer to come out in you so its as well to do another test.

I hope your husband has a full recovery with only the mild symptoms and that you stay covid free.

This is the same study I found when I was deciding whether to get tested recently. I started taking zinc and the symptoms cleared up immediately, which is what happens if I zinc a cold fast enough, but still…damn Delta variant acting like a common cold now is wily.

(Its wilyness, and hyper-transmissibility, is why we are foolish to assume that outdoor transmission is as rare as last year…or that child infection likeliness is as low as last year…or that school precautions should be the same - or more lenient! - than last year.)

OP, hoping for mild and milder for you and your husband. 

Are you both vaccinated??  

Yay for feeling better!

Both my kids got quarantined last week on Tuesday, I didn't avoid them because I'm vaccinated and it's kinda impossible to not have contact with little kids. My DS (K) had been coughing and stuffy nose for over a week. We were giving allergy meds and they were helping but the cough got worse and his teacher sent him home, DH had to leave his job site and get him. Same day my DD (5th) said her throat hurt at the end of the day. Got home at 5:30 and she was running a 99 fever. When she went to bed, she was 102. BOTH kids got COVID tested the next day (wednesday) with a PCR test. We got results back Saturday- both negative. Thankfully. While they were home sick (dad was able to be home with them), I was continuing to go to my classroom at teach 6th-8th grades. We are all masked at school other than lunch and recesses.
