No fever but all symptoms lead to Covid. Not flu or anything else. Is Covid still looked at to stay home and not be around people? If I’m feeling under the weather but not in bed sick type….wwyd? I don’t wanna be selfish but also unsure if I should go to my work meeting in a few…

Why do all things point to covid? There are so many other viruses going around now. Before covid times would you have felt you were sick enough to stay home or would you have gone?

Don’t go to work when sick with any virus. It doesn’t matter what it is

Definitely test. I wouldn’t go to work with anything worse than a bad cold unless doctor approved.

Think about how you’d like it if someone sick intentionally chose to go around other people, making it a high possibility they’ll all catch it.

This strain of Covid is very, very contagious. Stay home.

If you were sick in 2018, would you go to work or stay home?
Even if it's not covid, if you're sick, you don't go out and get others sick.

This doesn’t have to do with Covid at all.
But if you are sick in any form, STAY HOME.

I stayed home. Woke up feeling a bit better. Hope today will keep it slow and be on the mend. Thank you for responding.

Actually, by the time you feel such symptoms, you arent contagious anymore...

That is very much not true. It’s true that you can be contagious *before* being symptomatic, but if you’re actively ill, especially if you have fever, you’re definitely contagious. I know the trend is to not take COVID seriously, but it’s still a virus, and should be treated at the very least like all other forms of being sick. If you are actively unwell, please stay home!

B"H at this point would act the same as if I had a cold, virus, fever, flu, etc...

And you should STAY HOME.

Stay home if you're not feeling good.
If there's one lesson Covid should've taught us, it should be this one.

I didn't know this, I thought the most contagious time to spread a virus is before onset of symptoms. Thank you

wow thanks mama

obviously

forgot that post covid it became ok in some circles to shriek at people about their behavior

like some appointed themselves captains of the covid police

good luck with that
