Anyhoo, I'm covid free.

Got sick on Tuesday at work and sent home. Tested on Thursday (48 hours after first symptoms show). Results yesterday morning.

The girls banished me to the basement Tuesday, but they say I had a bad flu (or a cold, I agree completely) so I'm still in my cave for the next 24 hours since my last symptoms.

Once more into the breech tommorow.

So you had Covid on Thursday, but you don't anymore? How long do you have to quarantine? I don't think it's as long now as it used to be, but it's longer than a week, isn't it?

I'd treat the quarantine time like COVID. There are guidelines for symptoms + negative test.

There are false negatives . . .
