My son does attend physical school but there too they wear masks, have plexiglass dividers, and have to clean shared materials. Plus school had been out since mid December.
The only place I dropped my guard was at work, and only once the cockpit door was closed and the constant parade of flight attendants, gate agents, mechanics, etc stop coming up front. I would take the mask off during flight.
On overnights I was bringing my own food and not congregating with the crew.
I am based in a southern city with a overwhelmingly conservative pilot group. The captain who I believe I may have acquired it from wore a gaiter - but removed it every chance he got. He talked about visiting friends and family over the holidays and even met a college friend for dinner on one of our overnights.
So no way to know of course. Could have just as easily gotten it from a TSA agent or a Walmart cashier, but that's my guess.
PS - stayed home with the wife and son on New Years Eve. Started a trip on 1/1.

The best you can do in my opinion is mitigate risk the best you can and go live your life. Only once you get symptoms of any kind, quarantine immediately. In my case, for the first couple days I wasn't totally convinced I was even getting sick no less had contracted covid. However, out of an abundance of caution and respect for others I quarantined immediately, and it turns out I was freaking right, it was covid. It also turns out you are most contagious at the start of the event, so being careful can really pay off sometimes.
It's a lot like flying: assess and mitigate risk, be responsible and safe, and go fly.

Get well soon Zap! I've personally gotten more stringent about social D with the vaccine a few months out, I had always assumed I'd get the 'rona eventually but now might as well hold out for the vaccine (especially with "long haul" symptoms and the FAA... more afraid of them than the bug honestly). Frustrating to roll snake eyes so close to the finish line.
I think the demographics are entirely relevant to painting the picture, I live in a blue state and have a vacation home in a red state and behavior is night and day. It's relevant to knowing where you stand.

Pretty sure if I do get it at this point, it will be from a pilot I share the cockpit with or my son (19 yr old that lives at home going to college). I’m starting to think my son has some sort of previous derived immunity. Almost all of his friends have had it at various points and exposed him in the process several times but he’s never gotten sick. Wife just got her second shot yesterday so it won’t be from her.

Figured I would share how it's going, and maybe others will do the same to show how symptoms differ between people.
1/6 Woke up with an intermittent dry cough, and a migraine headache. Headache lasted throughout the day but was easily managed with Tylenol.

NOPE. You woke up with a headache. Period, dot.
Shame on you. You have no business making a medical diagnosis unless you are a licensed practitioner. I’ll accept that you understand where your head is and if it was aching, but diagnosing it as a migraine - unless you have previously been diagnosed as having migraines, is not the purview of a pilot. Even worse, you have no business making it on a PUBLIC FORUM. Perhaps you were just too sick to understand the potential implications.

Right. Was trying to be descriptive, not diagnostic. Not a doctor and didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Quarantined to the master bedroom. Thanks
