Should I still isolate myself after a positive test? Is it ok to do my own shopping (with a mask) or should I call someone? Do I still wait for a negative test or simply to be free of symptoms? Since people around me don’t really talk about Covid anymore and my country doesn’t have any guidelines in place, I’d be interested in your takes. I don’t wanna be a d*ck to others but would also rather not overshoot and lock myself up at home for two weeks like in the early days. (I hope this doesn’t count as asking for medical advice.)
Edit: Thanks y’all. Guess I just needed to hear that even though everyone has been talking of “after Covid”, the situation hasn’t fundamentally changed despite our lives having normalized. I’ll be cancelling plans and staying home.
Schools are far too based on attendance, and often legally can only count kids with a butt in their seat at school. Even into college, progress is based more on appearance than ability.
It leads to crappy teaching, and draconian absence policies.
To be fair, forcing kids into school drastically cuts down on child abuse. So there is a logic behind it, just taken a bit too far.
