So who has covid? Nov 2021

Tested positive yesterday on a fit to fly PCR. Was supposed to head to Dubai. Positive antigen since Thursday 23rd and ever since. Wife positive also and kid negative lft.

Anyone know what day it is ? What year is it or indeed who am I !!

I have lost track of days and who tested positive when

A family member had a few very slight symptoms last Wednesday night, positive antigen on Thursday last, positive pcr with Swab taken on Christmas day.... Today they had a negative antigen (they've been doing them every two days)

i got it on 16th dec

partner positive on 20th

son negative on 20th and 23rd but positive on 27th

u will need to do a PCR test or else isolate for 10 days from your partners last day of isolation (according to the HSE guidelines). reason being is you may not have it for the first days of her sickness but if you pick it up towards the end then youll be infectious for longer. youd be best off booking PCR test asap and hope u are positive so ur 10 day clock can start sooner rather than later - in my case i should isolate from 16th dec (my first symptom) until 10 days from 27th dec (my sons positive date) PLUS 5 days extra as a close contact and someone whose recovered in the past 3 months - nightmare.

You got it on the 16 th ? So positive on the 16 th ? Then you isolate for 10 days from your first symptoms not from anyone elses positive date ?

Sure if you had 10 in a house you could be isolating for months if you did that ?

symptomatic on 16th

positive pcr on 20th

i isolated until 26th, since my symptoms began on the 16th

since then my partner tested positive PCR (also on the 20th and her symptoms started that day, so she isolating until 30th)

my 2 year old son took three PCR tests, negative on 20th, negative on 23rd and eventually positive on the 27th, so now he must isolate until 6th Jan which is ten days from the 27th

i am no longer isolating since i recovered and my ten days was finished on the 26th, but the fact that my son must now isolate until the 6th means we cannot go anywhere so we may as well still be isolating (effectively, although it is nice to be able to go to the shops on my own now or go for a run etc)

anyway, the point i was trying to make is that it is "best" for everyone in a household to test positive at the same time. the previous poster will need to isolate with his partner and then do a PCR once their partner has finished 'having covid' so that they can be sure they didnt pick it up on the last few days of their isolation.

all good, my post wasnt very clear to begin with.

i think i should technically still isolate though, because i am classified as a close contact that recovered within the past 3 months, and that means i need to isolate for 5 days from the date i was in contact with the person with covid. this is not realistic though, we all caught covid at around the same time (it was me that caught it first) so i am sure i am immune to the variant that my son now has and my partner had. the guidelines are all quite confusing, its a total pain anyway. we are still using antigens regularly to be safe.

100%, put the feet up and enjoy having a maid for the next 10 days :)

Has anyone who tested or knows someone who was positive had diarrhea and an upset stomach or cramps as a symptom?

Yikes. Were they the only symptoms or also hit by more typical ones?
