Should I still isolate myself after a positive test? Is it ok to do my own shopping (with a mask) or should I call someone? Do I still wait for a negative test or simply to be free of symptoms? Since people around me don’t really talk about Covid anymore and my country doesn’t have any guidelines in place, I’d be interested in your takes. I don’t wanna be a d*ck to others but would also rather not overshoot and lock myself up at home for two weeks like in the early days. (I hope this doesn’t count as asking for medical advice.)

Edit: Thanks y’all. Guess I just needed to hear that even though everyone has been talking of “after Covid”, the situation hasn’t fundamentally changed despite our lives having normalized. I’ll be cancelling plans and staying home.

    Did you just say “other people do it by accident so it’s ok for me to do it on purpose”??

      No, I said I stick to the official recommendations but do not exceed them, because I do not believe it is reasonably justified.

        You used two sentences, that is the second one. The first is exactly what I said

        Do you not have morals? You feel no guilt at potentially killing someone due to your negligence?

          How is it negligence when I follow the official recommendations? So no, I do not feel guilt as the probability of me being the reason of somebody’s death is practically zero.

            You need to spend more time learning about disease transmission. ‘Practically zero’ is completely incorrect.
