Currently on my 5th day of isolation. Hits hard this thing. I don't recommend it. Glad I'm jabbed and boosted, or I'd have had a much worse time.

Hope you've had a good restful day mate, feeling better tomorrow.

Friend of mine tested positive , went through the whole process of isolation , testing each day for the negative results etc until they were allowed back out again.

Week later has just came up positive again on a lateral flow. So it's about 3 weeks since first positive test and it's still flagging in their system.

I thought you didn’t have to test for 90 days after having it?

They were made to by work , even though that's how he got it to begin with! They all caught it over a period of days after Christmas.

Is he now qualified for the Australian Open?

Sorry don’t mean to be flippant @Ghost Rider. Hope your friend is ok. You can test positive for quite a while even when you aren’t infectious. That’s why you don’t need a PCR to come out of isolation.

Wait, what, thought it was seven days and two consecutive negs?

Must admit, i'm not keeping up with all this, but we all went down with it at the weekend...

Yeah seems to be the case here. Not 100% sure if they got a PCR done again because the advice was they didn't need it.

I just genuinely thought that once you started getting negative it stayed that way. A new thing learned eh?

Everton really have made it much more stressful. Feeling much better now though, thank you.

Good to hear mate (the getting better bit not the Everton causing stress bit lol)
