My spouse and oldest child tested positive twice each (rapid and PCR). Spouse had 12-hour fever, fatigue, lost taste/smell for a week, lingering lethargy. Child had a 100.3 fever for 12 hours, then fine, that’s it.
My other two children and I have had three PCR tests each since the first symptoms appeared in our house three weeks ago, all negative and no symptoms.
I even woke up the morning after our child’s symptoms appeared with them in our bed breathing on my face. We did not make much of a social distancing effort in our house, figuring we’d all get it regardless.

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.

He had already been exhibiting symptoms, tested, and removed from flying status by the time I reached out to him.

They do nothing when you are sitting 3 feet next to someone in a tiny space for hours on end.
