I'm assuming verb would just assume he had it and go through the process.

I mean, if someone in your house has it you are almost certain to catch it regardless, no?

Going out running and staying away from people is a totally different situation than people standing shoulder to shoulder 3-4 deep along a 2-3 mile route.

That’s why the CDC recommends the 14-day quarantine after to positive person’s quarantine is over. Which I’m currently in the middle of. We all took the test after our youngest tested positive to see if our quarantine times could be reduced. No one else was, tho.

Hope the same.

Second - has no one else in your house tested positive?

I honestly just assumed once one person in a household had it then all would. What precautions do you take?

Why get tested if you show no symptoms. That's just requires you going out in the community when you should be self isolating.
Think I’m going to try being kind to everyone a chance.

Because you can have the virus without showing symptoms?

She's doing well guys, thanks.

The three of us were tested the same day as we got her results back and lol three of us were negative. None of us has been tested since that day. It's entirely possible that one, two or even all three of us has had it and could've tested positive for it but there's no real need since we're doing the quarantine.

Basically masks and hand sanitizer as far as precautionary measures go. We don't do a lot of social gatherings, but we're both in health care and I'm pretty strong on PPE when at the clinic.

Our child got it from a friend at school. The kid was tested on Wed morning and went to school that day, Thursday and Friday. After school Friday, she (the kid) sent a text to all her buds (including youngest Weaseling) that her test came back positive. We were absolutely livid that her parents sent her to school while awaiting results, but not really surprised. The mentality surrounding covid in this area is ludicrous. Our hospital is literally turning patients away because they're so full of covid patients yet the vast majority refuse to allow any precautions whatsoever. Sure, businesses like Lowe's or WalMart may say they require masks but there's no enforcement. Our governor has refused to issue a statewide mandate or shutting down of anything leaving that up to individual counties and cities and our county and city charters are written so that any kind of mandate like that HAS to come from the state level. So, it's basically like living before covid. No restrictions on anything, no masks, nothing. Just a covid free-for-all. And it's all because of how it was politicized. No one wants to do anything that might run contrary to what their lord and savior, Jesus Trump says about it. He says it's fake, it's fake. He says he has it but it's no big deal, then no one is worried about getting it. And I personally know people that have almost died from it that still say no to masks or doing anything to help slow it down. It's maddening.

Oh, our county mayor did proclaim that hand washing is the most effective method of staying covid-free, so there's that, I guess.

As long as you do the 24-day quarantine, there's no real need to be tested. Unless you just want to know or possibly shorten your length of quarantine.
