Hope the test distribution helps... Im kinda worried it could backfire though to the extent that the government is buying up existing testing stock (especially given how slow it is; if you wait until you think youre sick to order the tests, its gonna be way too late to help inform you).

i mean it seems like by late january omicron will have already peaked in the states, so it's too late regardless

Yeah, that's what I'm figuring. We're already seeing the evidence that the omicron wave will clearly be receding by the end of January pretty much everywhere except some of the midwest/mountain west states. Here in Northern Virginia it's already trending down sharply and the rest of Virginia is now beginning to follow. Positivity rate is declining. But it's still better to have them than not for the "endemic phase" that may or may not be beginning. And even with a decline this wave will continue into at least March if Omicron provides solid protection against further infection from Omicron.

And there's always a chance of another major variant appearing that evades immunity from both Omicron and Alpha/Delta/Wuhan variant lineages.

On a personal note I still have yet to feel symptoms that would make me think I'm infected and have had no close exposures, so I still have never been tested even once this whole pandemic.

I think it is supposed to be a day or two after symptoms end. Which is why they have the new 5 day quarantine rule.

My wife and oldest daughter both tested positive last week, and the district told us that if my daughter is symptom free they dont want her to test again because tests can come back positive for weeks even though people are no longer contagious. My daughter had a few coughs and a runny nose for about a day, so shes able to go back Tuesday and just has to wear a mask the rest of the week. According to them youre only contagious for 5 days if youre symptom free.

Our school district has taken a COVID doesnt exist approach this year though, so who knows.

I believe this is only true for PCR tests; rapid tests should be positive for approximately as long as you're contagious

That would make sense. They said she had to get a PCR test and the 5 day window would start from the date of sample collection for a positive PCR.

So, I am furious.

Someone tell me if I should be furious.

I got Covid... went the entire pandemic without it. Now I have it.

Let me tell you a little story about how I am pretty sure I got it.

  1. CDC changes guidelines to 5 days to return to work.
  2. Guy informs work he tested positive for covid MONDAY afternoon.
  3. Guy calls HR monday and they talk on the phone. HR asks him when his symptoms started. Guy not wanting to miss work because he needs the money says he started with symptoms THURSDAY... despite having worked Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday. Says that his initial result was negative when he went to get tested on Friday and his PCR didn't come back until monday with a positive. His wife is currently in the hospital with Covid right now.
  4. HR lady says he can come back to work on WEDNESDAY.
  5. I have to work with him in a small room a foot away from him Wednesday night, despite me telling him to just go walk around and stuff and let me just do the work without him in the room (him refusing).
  6. I start getting sick Thursday night at work... inform others and isolate myself in a room for the rest of my shift and go get tested after work (positive).
  7. Now I will have to miss at least 5 days of actual work for the guy who they basically had give me covid to miss no work and come back early.


Let me know if I should be furious before I fucking go apeshit on this HR lady.

You should absolutely be furious...but going apeshit on the HR lady won't do you any good. They're protected. They were just following the CDC guidelines that are meant for this exact scenario.

It should have never been lessened to five days.

Dude wasn't off five days. We just had a shouting match me and her. He worked Sunday was off Monday, Tuesday. Came back Wednesday night.

Everyone else has to follow the rules. Just because they were short guys on the job doesn't mean they should let someone come back early and infect others. My life could be lost over it or my kid's. Fuck her. Do your job right.

I didn't get loud til she got loud with me anyways.

CDC guidelines are 5 days from when symptoms start. HR is probably told to follow those guidelines so as long as that coworker isn't showing major symptoms he can come back. Be mad at your shitty coworker for lying about the whole thing to come back sooner. Yelling at HR here is like yelling at a server in a restaurant when the cook fucked your meal up.

That's the thing, he can't retroactively take off. So Wednesday is more than five days after his symptoms started, despite his working through them. Now an argument can be made that they should have kept him off the schedule beginning at the time he tested positive, but that's where the CDC kept it so vague and flexible. It's fucking terrible.

If your goal is to have him reprimanded for working sick, I totally feel you and wish you luck. But there's likely not much that can be done.

Regardless, I'm sorry for your situation and hope your case is minor.

Sounds like you should be mad at your company for not offering enough paid sick leave, which prompted the guy to have to come in while symptomatic. Unless he did have plenty of paid sick leave built up, in which case just be mad at the guy.

They ask for no documentation for results of any kind. So, there is also no negative rapid test result to even point to.

Democrats went from promising a winter of death to dropping all mandates.

I'll spare you from having to look up why - their polling is atrocious and it's a midterm election year. If this were 2021 you can promise none of these policies would have been reversed.

When you factor in vaccination rates, death rates and percentage of the dead that are unvaccinated, it has very much been a winter of death for the unvaccinated. We've had death numbers that top all but last winters surge isolated almost entirely in a minority group of people(unvaccinated).
