I have been ill with Covid since Friday last week and have stayed at home, following the current guidance (not a rule I know) today I am out of "isolation". But my test today is still a glaring instant positive and I still feel pretty awful. Slightly better than I have been but still got an appalling cough, snot and tiredness and general bleughhh. Fever is pretty much gone although does come back randomly.
So should I just crack on and go back to Tesco etc? I WFH 2 days a week, in the office 2 days but it would seem wholly inappropriate to be in the office today. But getting care for the horse and other things is really starting to be problematic and we are meant to be moving house in 2 weeks so there is much to do!!
DH has just tested positive himself and is rather unwell, DD had it in October and so far is ok (she's only 2.5).
In pre Covid days I would have dragged myself into work and shops etc and coughed everywhere but it just feels wrong to do that now when I know I have it. But I know we are meant to just be getting on with things. I just feel very conflicted on what is "right".
My gut feeling is to stay home for the full 10 days like it used to be, that's only a few more. But I don't know if that's daft?

I honestly could have written most of your post OP. I am day 5 since testing positive and know tomorrow I will be free to leave the house and resume normal daily life. But it doesn't sit well with me as I feel horrible still, runny nose almost gone, but feel so lethargic. Fever yesterday but fine today.
It feels wrong going to supermarket knowing full well you have it doesn't it.
