COVID protocols

[Anonymous]

I cannot figure out what the new COVID protocols are. According to the CDC, it looks like you can go out in public 24 hours after you are fever free and asympomatic. Is that right? What are we supposed to do?

Yes just do that.

Why overthink it?

Because my kids' school has conflicting guidance. Trying to figure out the norm here.

I think it’s confusing right now. Generally people aren’t testing so it’s more the common sense “24 hour fever free and not acutely ill” guidelines. But in my healthcare job the rules for return to work haven’t changed. And I have a vulnerable family member (as many do) so I’m still going with older protocols in a lot of areas if my life

DCPS's guidelines are still rather strict. It calls for 5 days of isolation!

There's no way they're actually enforcing that.

You don't need to be fully free of symptoms. They just need to be improving.

Wear a mask until testing negative.

Go around and hug everyone and get in their face. Give them the gift that could make them really sick or kill someone. How is this even a question and how many threads do we need. Stay home till you test negative.

Don’t test. That’s what most people are doing. Or not doing.

Yes. CDC is treating covid the same as other respiratory viruses. Once you're fever-free for 24 hours and symptoms are improving, you can go back to normal activities. They recommend taking additional precautions for five days which could be hand washing, opening windows, masks, distancing, and/or testing.

Yes, and use PCR tests. Two negative PCRs 48 hours apart. Otherwise you're killing grandma and puppies.

What year are you living in? This was disproven years ago. Some people can test positive for months.

This is just flat out wrong and hasn’t been the guidance for years.

Because Fauci is more interested in protecting the profits of airlines than the lives of kids.
