[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be required to leave the office if my spouse had tested positive for COVID; obviously, it's up to me to enforce that as no one else would necessarily know.

Personally, I would head home out of courtesy for my coworkers.[/quote]

Most sensible to be courteous. Thank you. [/quote]

How silly. You would have already exposed them all. We really need to stop doing covid-related things just because they [b]feel [/b]good.[/quote]

Please learn about viral loads and how going into the office again knowing that the spouse you share a bed with is COVID positive creates many, many more opportunities for spread. Thanks.[/quote]
Take it up with the CDC. [/quote]

Please tell me your job so I can understand just how important you are that you need to go into the office. You must be so special and no one can do without you at your office. [/quote]

Well, my office doesn't allow remote work and having a spouse with covid doesn't qualify for excused leave. So I'd go in, under the circumstances, if I wasn't truly needed at home for caregiving. [/quote]

Got it, so potentially expose everyone who you work with to it. [/quote]
Again, please read the CDC guidelines.
COVID is endemic. We go about our lives. Pre-COVID, did you stay home when your spouse had a cold so not to infect co-workers? Doubt it. 
The OP is just upset that husband did not immediately rush home when he heard she’s COVID+. 
Likely she feels a little under the weather, but we’ll enough to hand the kids an iPad and tell them to make themselves a PB&J.[/quote]

You do not decide when covid becomes endemic. It is not endemic, we are still in a pandemic. 
There is not correlation between a cold and covid so that’s a stupid analogy. [/quote]
You don’t decide what the CDC guidelines are. 
And yes, common cold and COVID are in fact related. And for the vast majority of vaccinate people, COVID is no worse than a cold. The vast majority of people have been vaccinated.[/quote]
