I would err on the side of cautionMrs SI still testing positive on LFTs. Thus is Day 10, she's due out of isolation midnight but she's worried she might be infectious and will pass it on to others in the house. Can anyone give an opinion?

Do we know where on those curves we start to feel symptoms coming on, i.e. detectable by body?
I don't know, but her first symptoms were on the morning of 5th Jan, and Test and Trace said she likely got it between Dec 29th-Jan 2nd - we assume Dec 31 as that's the only time we keft the house during that period. That would make this 16 days since she "caught it".Do we know where on those curves we start to feel symptoms coming on, i.e. detectable by body?
Realise I'm leaving myself open to many hilarious jibes here...but, has anyone else experienced morning sickness (feelings of nausea) with Omi?Much moving around exhausts her and she's still experiencing dizziness but the cough has largely gone and there's no raised temperature. Last five days LFTs have been NPNPP
And hoping your missus feels better soon, that sounds rotten.Hope it gets no worse Cloo
Take the opportunity to binge all those Netflix shows and films that nobody else is interested in watching with you.Very glad we live in a two reception-room house so I can claim one for lounging; I'll be sleeping in spare bedroom until I'm clear or gsv gets in, whichever happens first! I've told son he can join me but he's enjoying being in his bedroom lair. He's still feeling OK but a little hot and tired apparently.
Well I've just found 'Couples Therapy' on BBC which is the ideal bit of bite-size nonsenseTake the opportunity to binge all those Netflix shows and films that nobody else is interested in watching with you.
It's all quite confusing and I think basically you have to work it out for yourself. Day 0 is whatever day you started having symptoms or got a positive test. This is counterintuitive, you'd think it'd be day 1 but no.I entered my details into COVID-19 app thinking it'd help to have a reminder of what day I'm on, only it's now saying a day longer than my Test & Trace email. I assume because with T&T I said my symptoms started day before positive test, but COVID app seems to be taking it from test day. Not that it matters too much either way, as T&T thus far seem to be taking no interest in contacting me, and also I could be out by day 7 anyway (I'm not trusting the Day 5 thing).
Glad to hear she's improving but I agree, it's slow progress. I finally got a -ive LFT today (11 days after I noticed feeling cold/rough/throaty) but am still coughing/gagging a bit and doing anything seems an effort. I fully accept that the "mild" descriptor is appropriate in that it defines those of us lucky enough to need medical care, but in the general run of coughs/colds etc. this doesn't feel 'mild' when you're in it. Nasty bug.Colleague tested positive tonight. Other end of office but gave deffo been in her vicinity, had a session with a group of hers, used her keyboard. Just seems endless and inevitable. Feeling cold and shivery and I rarely feel like that.
ETA negative result but don't feel great. Will test as usual in the morning.
Mrs SI still testing positive (on Day 12) but improving daily, though she has to be careful not to overdo things. It's really taken it out of her.
Weren't you "free" after ten days no matter what LFTs say?
Honestly don't know what the rules are...but a) I don't feel well enough to got out/mix yetWeren't you "free" after ten days no matter what LFTs say?
Guidelines say OK after Day 10 as long as no high temperature. It's recognised that coughs and loss of smell/taste can still hang about for a while, so they're not counted as a sign of infectiousness.only if no symptoms i believe
Starting to feel a bit more with it, now 2 weeks on from 1st symptoms. Still coughing a bit, though...Omicron seems like a bit of a bastard to me.
Pretty much normal now, thanks - out of isolation now I've had two negative LFTs and been out for the first time. Luckily I didn't get any fatigue at all, which I know is hard to shake off - I've had a few mates who haven't had long covid as such, but have still felt very tired for another 4-6 weeks, so hope those symptoms bugger off soon.How are you feeling Cloo ?
Mrs SI is now well on the way to recovery a week after finishing her (full ten day) iso. However, she's experiencing bouts of sudden "swimming" in her head and huge waves of fatigue, one or two a day. What a horrible virus this is.
