[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't know people were still testing for this anymore. It's 2024, not 2021. It's endemic. We don't isolate anymore and nobody masks. There's no point.[/quote]

Only jerks don't try to isolate when they have COVID.

I work with elderly people.  I'm testing so I don't kill anyone. [/quote]

The majority of us DON’T work with elderly people.  We’re not going to kill anyone anymore than if we don’t isolate with the common cold.  Stay in your lane.[/quote]

you don't know if you're exposing someone who has a vulnerable family member.  My kid is one.  Thanks - I already knew no one gives a sh#@$

People should stay home when they are sick with whatever, not just covid[/quote]

The onus is on the vulnerable members of society and/or their caretakers to take extra precautions.  The whole world is not going to keep shutting down for a virus that for a huge number of folks is so mild that they might not even know they have it.[/quote]

So staying home for a few days when you are actively sick with symptoms is shutting down the world? [/quote]

Expecting everyone to[b] stay home regardless of symptoms for as long as they are testing positive for covid is, yes.[/quote]

Not a single person in this thread has said that. No one. In fact, most, including me, have said the opposite. People have said that you should stay home if you are at the beginning of an illness with more than minor symptoms. Beyond that, if you have vulnerable people in your life, you might want to keep testing and take measures to avoid exposing them because people seem to be testing positive for a long time. It's more of a PSA for people concerned about exposing others rather than a demand that other people follow this advice.[/quote]
