Informal survey!
People who got infected and were able to test frequently during this recent Omicron wave.
On what day did you stop testing positive? (Day 1=first symptoms or first positive, whichever sooner. If no symptoms, day of ve+ test).
Please RT!
Tests pics welcome!

Back to work. End isolation. See people. Curiosity. Not everyone works from home.

I was told that you weren’t supposed to “test out” of quarantine. I isolated for 7 days bc that was the standard medical staff were using. Didn’t take rapid tests bc they were already in short supply. Didn’t take pcr tests bc I was told they could show positive for weeks.

(And if I had extra home tests I would have given them to my friends searching frantically for them.)

Yes but, again, not everyone works from home. Some people interact with vulnerable populations. Some work and travel and need more precision. Many have burdensome isolation setups. For some, set number of days has issues. I wasn’t asking people who didn’t test, or need to test.

Yup. I was asking what info a test would give you - that is, if a negative result would give you go-ahead to leave isolation etc.

That’s what many countries do, and CDC said until recently. But the reverse question is also true, not just testing out. If you test positive, and especially if you work with vulnerable populations—elderly or patients—what should you do? What should you be able to do?
