[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of you just love to make other people miss work. No concept that not everyone can work from home or has access to unlimited leave. I hope people who are sick stay home but people who are not sick should be able to go to work. Not sure what is so complicated about that.[/quote]

You're right that nobody is preventing me or anyone else from working. Thankfully now I do not need to violate CDC guidance to go into the office when I am feeling fine.

Rapid covid tests are not contagiousness tests. After you are feeling better, you are unlikely to transmit to others. This has been known since the beginning of the pandemic, but it was really important to prevent any spread when people didn't have immunity from vaccines or infection. Now almost everyone has some immunity (that doesn't mean you can't get it, of course, just that you are less likely to) which means that the cost of staying home is no longer worth it. Most people had already figured this out before the CDC's announcement.[/quote]

Of course you can still transmit it to others.  You are shocked teachers are returning.  They got sick because of you and you have a fit if they are out sick.  What kind of person are you?  Beyond sending a sick child to school who should be home with their parent.[/quote]

Of course I keep my child home when she is not feeling well. This guidance doesn't change that. What you want is for people to stay home/keep kids home when they are not sick. Those days are over.[/quote]

Np- would like kids and adults alike to stay home when infectious, with generous paid leave policies, so no one keeps catching your various illnesses

The problem is you live in a fantasy world where people are able to know exactly when they stop being infectious. So you insist people stay home even when they are feeling fine because of a test that can maybe tell you if you have COVID in your nose. Not whether that virus can be cultured in a lab or actually cause an infection.

Even people with access to generous paid leave will struggle to just take 2+ weeks off work unexpectedly. The more you insist this needs to happen despite the low likelihood that they will infect anyone after a couple of days, the more unhinged you sound.[/quote]

I'm confused why you don't think we have tests for infectiousness- for multiple viruses ( rsv, adenovirus,  etc),  cheap and easily available in other countries. Pcr does not measure infectiousness- just the rapid- it doesn't need to be cultured in a lab. Why are you so upset it's measured from the nose? [/quote]
