Would you consider me still infectious with this LFT?

[EpcotIsTheBest]

Tested positive last week, now on day 5. DH has been a trooper so far whilst I've hidden in the bedroom but I can see he's really struggling. We have 3 kids including a toddler, he's working full time and has an assignment to submit for his masters.

If I came out of isolation now what do you reckon my chances are of infecting someone? The older kids are vaccinated, it's the toddler I worry about. The line is barely there (compared to how dark it was when I first tested positive) but I can't help thinking the old favourite MN phrase, a line is a line. The only thing that make me think I'd be ok is that I haven't had any real symptoms for at least 48 hours.

What would you do?

We have never isolated in the home so I’d be leaving the bedroom and helping your dh. There might be a small risk of you passing it on but it will be much less now.

None of us isolated from the rest. Yet me dh, teen and sc caught it all at different times. Roughly a month apart. Thr 2 pre school ages didn't catch at all.

Is there a particular reason you're so keen for the toddler to avoid it? I appreciate I am generalising here but I genuinely don't know any small children who have suffered in any way at all when they have caught covid (most of the ones I knew were bouncing off the walls within a day).
As I say I do know that's a generalisation before someone tells me off for saying that

Does it matter much if you infected someone?

none of us have isolated from the others.

Well I don't know if this true but I've read somewhere that once symptoms have gone you're unlikely to pass on.

Regardless i wouldn't isolate within my own home at any point, let alone for longer than the 5 day period. Surely you need to weigh the very small risk to the toddler from covid against the actual hard time your DH is having by juggling 3 kids alone for a week while working?!

Absolutely not even slightly true.

I guess the reason I'm so keen to avoid infecting anyone is that my 10 year old had it (pre vaccination) last year and she was really unwell. I have this worry that the little one will have the same experience.

It's silly really, they're all in nursery/school so all at risk of getting it at some point. When DD had it we kept her away from everyone as best as we could but obviously with her being a child I couldn't just leave her in her room for days like I've been.

Rather selfishly also, if the little one gets it I really can't be taking any more time off work.

How would you even know if they got it?

it's just treated like a cold now.

surely you wouldn't test them?

I'm positive have shared a bed with my husband for 6 days and he still hasn't caught it. He was hoping to get it out the way so he doesn't have to test for 90 days!
