Looking for practical tips or advice. I have a relative who’s going to stay with my elderly Vaxed parents, and they are unvaccinated. Been traveling recently and stopping on their way home for a few days.  I asked to see if they would take a at home rapid PCR test before entering, but they’d rather not go before taking a test. Opening all the windows or limiting HVAC isn’t an option. They don’t wear masks in public, either. Anything they can do to stay safe? Delta breakthroughs is scary.

Is simply telling them "no, you can't visit" not an option?

likefunny

This. Being a guest in someone’s home is a privilege, not a right.

Are your parents concerned, also, or is most of the concern yours?

Have you asked your parents to express this concern? Maybe the person would be more likely to follow

Are you parents able to get a third dose of the vaccine by chance? Assuming that the relative does end up visiting and your parents don’t tell them no

likefunny

To be honest I think your parents will be OK. Have confidence the vaccine they received works and it helps to protect them. Wherever they get a viral load in the future (because we most likely all will since even vaxxed people carry the virus) the antibodies in our bodies will fight it.

Maybe what’s best is starting therapeutics proactively to help boost their immunity and t-cells to fight off any infections.

Great idea. What are the therapeutics?
