Help me think this through ...

Thanks I’m advance - one of my boys had surgery this week and my brain is fried from getting up multiple times in the night all week to give pain meds to him. I can’t think straight right now. 
 

For Thanksgiving this week, we are planning on our immediate household, plus oldest DS and his fiancé, who live 45 minutes away. We all live in a state that is in the top 10 for the highest per capita COVID cases right now. DS and his fiancé were both diagnosed in early October and are thankfully fully recovered now, so am I correct in thinking they won’t pose a risk by being here? DH has a medical condition that makes him high risk, and then I assume my son who just had surgery is more vulnerable as well. We have been incredibly careful and diligent in limiting our contact with basically everyone. 
 

I guess my question is: once you have had COVID (recently), are you considered “safe” to be around, or can you still be a carrier if it is rampant within your community? Not sure if this even makes sense - like I said, my brain is fried right now!

I honestly don't think this is Firm answer on this.  They say you should have immunity for 6 months.  But there have been confirmed cases of re-infection.

I was just listening to the latest Michael Osterholm podcast and someone asked him this same question. He's usually very cautious, but he said that it would probably be okay in this instance.

I don't know if that helps, but hopefully you have a nice Thanksgiving whatever you decide.

In that time frame I would think yes.  

I know in MLS players who catch COVID  aren't subject to quarantine for leaving their bubbles for 8 weeks.
