It’s just information. I wish they had at-home tests for flu and strep. It’s nice to know what you have and what treatments will work or not. It’s nothing more than that for a lot of us. No one’s making a statement. It’s medical care.

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.

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.

You need to stay in your lane. If you don't work with elderly people or have a loved one who is immuno-compromised, etc., then WHY are you even on this thread commenting. NO one on this thread has said anything about everyone testing. But some of us do, because we are protecting people we care about. And the truth is, you should isolate for a short period of time when you are symptomatic at the start of any virus. ANY virus. People who go around when they are actively sick are, in fact, jerks. ALWAYS have been, long before covid.

The people who continue to come on Covid-related threads to say "who cares" or "stay in your lane" need therapy. Or some compassion. or maybe just to STFU.

Sorry, you didn’t say this?

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

You sound completely unhinged.

I did not say that. That was a different PP. People with *any* illness should stay home when they are actively sick to minimize spread of infection. That's basic. That is what I meant by "isolate for a short period".

I think whether or not the person who did say that is over stepping depends on what they mean by isolate. Does that really mean stay home when you are first sick or stay home for 10 days. The former is common sense and common courtesy. The latter is no longer necessary.

Either way, the only people who sound unhinged are people like you and other PPs who come on threads like this and stir up trouble because you were so traumatized by Covid, you can't remain civil when the word is mentioned.

The OP said nothing about everyone testing and nothing about everyone isolating. There is a subset of people who still, quite legitimately, pay attention to covid. If you have no reason to do so, count your blessings and leave those of us that do alone. Seriously, go away to other threads where you might possibly have a relevant comment.

Seems like you may be infectious for much longer. I am masking but with the latest guidance people probably would not even know.

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#@$

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.

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

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