Don't be this person.

You sit tight and wait till you test negative.


Or just don’t test anymore.

This. It was silly to test in the first place.


+1. Who tests for mild cold like symptoms?


People who don’t want to infect others. That’s who. I am currently sick with Covid, likely from someone who thinks like you.


Statistically, it was probably from someone that was asymptomatic and had no reason to believe they had covid. Which makes testing in situations like the OP's even more meaningless.

Sorry you got sick, but I respect your desire to limit transmission!


Strength to travel? Stay a few extra days?

Are you nuts, PP?

This. Why bother testing if you had no plan of what to do after?

Throw a mask on and fly home.

I just tested positive for Covid (mild cold-like symptoms) and was supposed to fly back today. I cancelled my flight today, but am unsure what the best option is. Should I take paxlovid and wait until I test negative to get on a plane? Or just wait until symptoms are clear and get on the plane (and don’t test). Thoughts?
