When would you see someone who had recovered from covid

[Sakesman]

How long would you leave it? Starting to realise that although we are recovered and out of the isolation period, people are keeping a wide berth. Just wondered what thoughts were on this.

Do you have to retest for a confirmed negative? Eitherway, at the end of your iso period I think depending on how much I wanted to see you!

There’s no retest planned. Just 10 day isolation and longer for people who live with you. I think I’m seeing people kind of avoid the kids and not want to come in the house. It’s fine, just wondered how long folk would leave it.

Well, if you're Trump a couple of days?!

I'd eat a couple of weeks tbh.

Lol. Happily/sadly I don’t have his special powers. So would that be another couple of weeks on top of the probable end of infection date? Yeah that’s what I kinda thought. That it would take a while for people to want to 😏.

I'm quite vulnerable, so I'm avoiding people & not going into anyone's house anyway, so maybe it's just that, especially with the increased restrictions (even if they're not in your area, it's making people think a bit more, & numbers rising.

I guess it would depend who you were to me & if you needed anything or if it was just a social visit.

Yeah maybe. It’s mixture of people, acquaintances, casual friends, closer friends etc. Even the hospital don’t want me there as an out patient. Just realising this is an unanticipated increase to the time following the positive test. I’m well out of the isolation period. Feels a little bit leper like (dramatic 😬)

14 days as per isolation directive. Why would you delay anymore? Infectious period is over.

Having said that one of my friends who had Covid in March did say that some people were very funny with her after - eg one friend who was dropping off something wouldn't even get out of her car but just left it on the doorstep and this was a month after she was sick! Strange IMO.

Thanks vintagevixen. I kind of agree but when the hospital were a bit funny I started to think this might be a thing

Very strange indeed, but people have been all through for all sorts of reasons.

I'm not routinely going into anyone's house or really meeting anyone at all... priority is getting the children as much time at school as possible.

Apart from my mums I haven’t been in anyone else's house since March even people who hadn’t had covid nor have my teens. Life has changed (or at least it has for most people). I wouldn’t be pushing for my children to socialise either given the current climate. Maybe propose a socially distant walk or outdoor meet up in a couple of weeks but I wouldn’t be too pushy or encourage my children to be either. Some people may have contact with pregnant family members, be pregnant themselves, have vulnerable relatives they want to see from a distance, have invisible or undisclosed underlying health conditions, anxiety about catching Covid etc.

I saw my friend the day after her isolating ended so day 11. She was the one who was unsure and kept her distance so we waited until day 15 after that once her family had finished isolating.
She was feeling fine though, if she was still rough I wouldn't have, neither would she.

I'm seeing my friend who had covid tomorrow. She was testing positive for over 5 weeks but she's now negative. I wouldn't have met her until the test was negative tbh.

Its supposed to be more infectious in the first few days. So if you had done your time and I was your friend I would meet up and would let my kids play with yours if same class/ year group. I am mainly meeting people outside for walks, coffee etc. I have class mates in house cause they are mixing at school anyway. I'm in lowest tier area.
