Have covid and attend outdoor event, would you go?

[Mydietstartstomorrow]

Tested positive for covid on Friday after feeling rough for a few days but just thought it was a head cold, was pretty surprised when that red line appeared! Felt much better yesterday and this morning. There’s an outdoors music festival on today, which I’d ruled out since said red line but friends (ones that were, 3 years ago, very freaked out by the whole thing, rule abiding, social distancing fanatics etc) are like “it’s fine just go, it’s just a cold now” etc! But I feel uncomfortable about it. Obviously I wouldn’t hug anyone or cough on them (bit of a cough still!) wwyd? Would you still go?

Yes actually I do really want to go, I go to this event every year. But I don’t want to worry that I might pass it on to someone. Is one negative test enough? Is that so ridiculous?

Many people are expected p go.into work now even if they do test positive for civic and children are expected to go into school ,there is no point in blaming somebody for passing on a virus ,unless people stay at home for ever than they are going to risk caching it every time they leave home.

And we wonder why there are so many STIs around still.

I dread to think what you have if you don’t bother testing for diseases you may have 🤢

People die of all sorts of thing's every day. We ground to halt 3 years ago to help the NHS and the vulnerable, we can't keep doing it. The government need to step up to ensure that the NHS can cope with the next pandemic and the vulnerable now need to make the decision themselves whether to stay at home and not go to the wedding, not the rest of us.

Covid**

So if it was a work day, you wouldn't go to work and expect your colleagues to cover and you get sick pay

I’d work from home as I’m hybrid anyway

You just sound like a martyr

But you're negative now? You may have been positive for weeks and are now over it as you'd already been feeling a bit unwell. How many negative tests would make you feel comfortable? Plus it's outdoors where the risk is even lower

It's some strange sort of virtue signalling

Or excuse for a goady thread

Why? Strange comment!

i dont know whether i would ask this question on mumsnet. @Mydietstartstomorrow
so many different/stroppy/argumentative opinions.
make your own mind up!

I don't think most people routinely test for STIs. Not unless they are sleeping with lots of different people - which most people aren't. Don't assume everyone leads the same life as you.

Nice try at a wind up. It's a bit obvious though, so I'll only give it 3 out of 10.

Oh yes, I just want to hear how virtuous I am that’s why I posted! 🙄 you sound a complete joy!

🤢🤢🤢

It's a VIRUS!we are three years into this now lots of People HAVE,NO choice but to.go to work with COVID,( well.apart from those with cosy work from home jobs 🙄)nobody is ruining anyone's life ,my dh,has type 2 diabetes and my 16 year was critically ill in intensive care in Februaryand now ha type 3c Diabetes as his pancreas isn't and working at all. but they are still expected to go p work and school ,we are living with this now.

They wouldn't know though.

The three people I know who've been hit incredibly hard with long Covid were all incredibly healthy and in their 20s or early 30s. They'd never have imagined the impact it has had.

I don't know why you would post if you weren't going to go anyway, there is no point.

@GIorious

Have you always stayed home when you have a runny nose? Have you always expected others to?

No, I haven't always, but I do now as much as I can when I have a cold and will wear a mask if I do have to go out.

You tested negative. You are not infectious. If you don't feel well enough to go for your own sake then don't go. But you are not going to infect anyone else.

I wouldn't, only because when I had it I was so ill and I have no health conditions. So wouldn't want to make anyone as ill as I was.

Not if you still test negative.

So what do you suggest because again many
people have no.choice but to go.to work with COVID,and kids are expected to.go svhool.( As. Long a they are well.enough,)are they all.selfish too?

If I was sneezing, coughing & feeling ill, I wouldn’t go. If I was feeling ok, I’d go. (I wouldn’t have tested in the first place though).
