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?

No, the cdc doesn’t say that. It’s says stay home for 5 days.

You're really out-of-date with your information. CDC guidelines say its fine to
return after 24 hours fever-free and improving symptoms. There's no recommended 5-day isolation period anymore, and there hasn't been for quite some time.

You’re wrong.

Take a look at it yourself:
https://www.cdc.gov/respiratory-viruses/prevention/precautions-when-sick.html

You can go back to your normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, both are true:
- Your symptoms are getting better overall, and
- You have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication).

It also says you should wear a mask while doing those "normal activities."

No, it says:
When you go back to your normal activities, take added precaution over the next 5 days, such as taking additional steps for cleaner air, hygiene, masks, physical distancing, and/or testing when you will be around other people indoors. This is especially important to protect people with factors that increase their risk of severe illness from respiratory viruses.

So masks are an example of something you could do, but aren't listed as something you should always do in that situation.

And certainly it doesn't say to stay home for 5 days.

And is OP physically distancing and/or testing? Sounds like no?

I don't know what the op intends to do. But if you look at the reply chain you're in, a previous poster claimed the CDC was still telling people to stay home for 5 days. That was obviously false, and I suspect the pp knew that given that she didn't attempt to include a reference.

Why overthink it?

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

Wear a mask until testing negative.

This! Please mask until testing negative.

It's not 2020 anymore. Get the shots and covid won't get you very sick. Masks aren't needed. And any benefit is minimal when people are most infectious before they typically know they even have covid.

Weird you think mask aren't helpful.

See how free, but also useless insulting adjectives are? We can go back and forth all day.

Gee, maybe someone should tell my vaccinated, very-sick-from-long-COVID-after-Omicron spouse. He can’t be upright for more than an hour at a time.

You’re full of it, is my point.

That's probably something that should come from the psychiatrist that is managing his medications.

People aren't going to be wearing masks when they're most infectious because they don't know they have covid at that point.

Bad genetics is when someone ends up in the ICU. When someone "can't be upright for more than an hour at a time" 2-3 years later, that's a conversion disorder.
