DFW - I am so sorry hearing your story about your family. I know that like me you are in Germany where you know that just in the US we still have Delta spreading and breakthrough cases and people who are anti-vaccine and anti-mask. The only thing that comforts me here more is the KN-95 masks required and the 2G or 3G rules that you don’t see consistent or at all in US. The fact that your son-in-law was double vaxxed (does that mean he had two shots, or two different kinds of vaccines or he was fully vaccinated plus booster?). That business trip to Atlanta was likely culprit adding higher risk of exposure since their rules are not as strict as NYC.
There have been so many breakthrough cases with some people I know, but mostly asymptomatic and they are always shocked to find out they tested positive. Only one of them had symptoms and they received monoclonal antibody infusions. I don’t know anyone with a booster who has gotten a breakthrough case. But the fact he is having a symptomatic case and bad symptoms at that must be concerning and I feel for your daughter and family how stressful and scary this must be.
Speaking to your daughter regularly and giving her support emotionally matters a lot - for him too. Food delivery service to ease her workload helps a ton. Take comfort from that they are in NYC where there is good level of care should he need it and that he isn’t in say Idaho or Alaska or states that have limited care capacity if he needed it.
I do have an Important question to ask - has he had a doctor who he is working with that could order for him monoclonal antibodies? I ask because of the breakthrough case I knew with symptoms, that is what they had ordered from their physician at UCSF and they recovered fairly quickly. The key apparently with monoclonal antibodies is getting it early on.
Sending you and your family lots of love and good energy and thoughts for recovery and good health.
