So his symptoms started all the way back in the second week of March and y’all are still worried now? Lol sounds like everyone at your office spends too much time on Facebook.

You’re technically recovered after two negative tests but I’m not sure how far apart they need to be. Ask if he received any follow up instructions? Louisiana state doc said that they’re considered negative after three days without symptoms or requiring meds.

Great, this is gonna be the new, albeit legit bullying/discrimination. I’m interested to see how these incidents play out in the coming months.

Already a story in the WSJ about it today. Basically, concerned citizens calling the police to report movements of recovered neighbors.

Nobody knows if he was cleared. Everyone scared to ask for fear of being accused of the R word. Hell, I'm staying. If I get it, I'll just "make one call, that's all". Shite.

I would think that proof of a negative test would be recommended. But it's taking 7 to 10 days for results to come in north Louisiana. He was positive 16 days ago. I'm staying.

16 days is plenty of time, especially considering that he probably already had it several days before testing positive. This thing doesn’t last 3+ weeks from when symptoms start


Exactly my thoughts. He may have had it for a week before being symptomatic, so it's fine.

Seriously the guidelines are all over the place and every doctor has their own opinion on them. We’ve been dealing with the same and haven’t allowed anyone back at work yet.

At my work we are doing at least 7 days since a positive test or 72 hours free from fever/symptoms....whichever is longer. To my knowledge we are not retesting people.

Can you just ask your boss if he was cleared?

We wouldn't allow anyone back without clearance from their doctor. Not a chance.

Can you give us your medical/scientific credentials?

I would hate to think that some f*cking IDIOT is giving uninformed medical advice on an internet board.

We do not really have a plan in place to clear people post corona, so it's really "when" you feel good enough to return to work, you can just mosey on back.

I do feel that this may cause some issues in the future. Some people definitely have been working with light symptoms. Let's be honest, how many times have you had a little bug and you popped some Tylenol and went into work?

Who's to say that this person did not do the same thing?

You might want to revise that. For those that have it and aren’t having many symptoms you run the risk of them returning to work and still being contagious and spreading it to others.
