undefined_bobyou should just stay away from other humans for a while14:52
semThe funny thing is nowhere in the guidelines does it say test again before you end isolation... So if I didn't do it on my own I would have gone to work with a mask and probably made other people sick15:38
Brainstorm(Matrix) <L​jL> I agree with undefined_bob that they're smart not wanting you to come in, too many employers insist for people to come in to work despite being sick, and unfortunately the American system doesn't make it any easier to get sick pay and stuff15:50

Brainstorm(Matrix) <L​jL> sem: and I'm reading back, take symptoms like fatigue and feeling like your heart is having a hard time, on the one hand they're typical symptoms (especially fatigue) but on the other they're also the typical symptoms of long covid, you really don't want that and for all I know stopping resting too soon is not conducive to them going away quickly15:58
de-factothe most effective fight against a virus spreading is if the host tries to avoid spreading it, because in doubt its the host that is the only one that knows. guidelines should reflect that, but people cant rely on them16:22
de-factoreproduction of a pathogen in a mathematical sense is the product of contact rate with infectiousness and duration of spread16:23
de-factohence for the duration of contagious viral shedding its possible for contacts taking place and with a probability proportional to infectiousness of the disease (and its contamination pathways)16:25
