Potential Exposure To Covid

[gordiescotland1]

Hi on Sunday at 7am I went to an outdoor church service for Easter. The service was followed by bacon and egg rolls at a local church hall near the event. I sat down beside a couple I know well from the church I attend. I was sitting right next to the man for over 40 minutes at this table, no mask. He phoned me this afternoon to say last night he was feeling really unwell had a positive LFT and then had it confirmed with PCR. I am a bit concerned, he must have been infectious without knowing when he was there. He is fully vaccinated 3 jabs as I am. I went to my parents house in their late 80s for lunch on Sunday and dinner on yesterday and I am now worried I may be infectious without knowing it. I don't know whether I should isolate just in case and keep on doing LFTs

hm - bacon & egg rolls - yummy!

You should isolate. Why on earth would you not?

[Cloverjo]

The gov is telling us to ‘lie low’ if we feel ill, and not to bother testing. Make of that what you will.

At the moment I have no symptoms and LFT is negative.

I would carry on living a "normal" life........whatever you think that may be. For me, I would not isolate, unless I developed symptoms, then I might, just might isolate.

We're at the point now where Covid is similar to all other illnesses - if you feel well enough to go out, go out. If you don't, stay in. None of this worry would have been visited on you if your friend had simply done the same and didn't mess about with testing and telling others of his plight.

yes isolate
you should have got it by now ( 4d) altho there are outliers up to 14d

outdoor is VERY unlikely - esp if sunny
( a million went down to Durdle Dor aaaaargh! July 20 in hot bright sunshine and.... no one got it)

getting it means
some have a cold
others say they think they are gonna die.....I sortta favour the second

//carry on living a "normal" life//
yeah but no but
normal for you means kissing with tongues innit?

[Sqad]

Lol....LOL....it does PP...

Thousands of people find themselves in a similar position to you every day. I regularly sit for an hour next to random people on the bus, no idea if they are Covid + or not.
I would take a test if I was meeting someone vulnerable, other I tend not to unless i had symptoms

How many potentially dangerous viral diseases would you test for.

I don't think you need to worry. We went to church on Sunday. It was packed and all sang lustily. We chatted to a lot of people at close quarters, including one of the Churchwardens - who rang to ask me to cover for something on Monday lunchtime as she had just tested positive. (At 12.35 to be precise.)
We are fine, everyo0ne else we know who was there is fine, so if your man didn't test until Tuesday afternoon I would reckon he wouldn't be infectious.
OH is now 89, but we're not worrying at all. Covid is now 'just this bug' - there is a far worse viral bronchitis going the rounds here (I've had it) and there are more in hospital with it than Covid.

if I were meeting a judge, rabies, deffo
to make sure that I was negative and if he bit me .....
