Posted on 19/01/2021 22:09 by AnnBMuch as I hate to jump in on a private ‘discussion’...
Surely the recommendation following a positive test result is to isolate for 10 days. I know that’s what my niece’s partner had to do.

Indeed it is Ruffs you are correct, from the NHS website
If you had a positive swab test that was sent to a lab (PCR test):
you do not need another test
you and anyone you live with must self-isolate until you're no longer infectious (usually until 10 full days after your symptoms started or you had the test)

Posted on 19/01/2021 21:42 by LLMWhere do you get the idea that after having contracted the virus they only need to self isolate for 10 days before they can return to work?
Why do you understand 'all took over three weeks before they tested negative' to mean they recovered in 10 days?
In fact after the 60 year old tested positive it took about seven days for the fever to break, about another week for him to recover to a reasonable extent (he is still not 100%) and about another two weeks before he tested negative. The test was done at the insistence of T&T because his wife is a nurse in a care home and because she had also contracted the disease. Her progress was similar but less dramatic.

I will repost this in case you missed it, this is fact no fiction
"
well my mother in law, who has been in hospital since before christmas, was covid-negative on entry, but has now been covid positive since approx Christmas day, and is still positive as of yesterday, but we were told by her doctor/occupational health who want to move her to a community hospital, that she would not have be contagious after 5/10 days. I should say that she is now asymptomatic.
This sorts of fits in with current policy e.g.
you get a test prove positive
isolate for 10 days
without another test, provided you are well, you can go about your daily life, no need for test to prove you are negative"

Interesting bit of information that has come out of Israel and it seems has made this Medical experts sit up and take notice ,,In that one Jab of the Phyzer vacine has been found to only give 33%? protection against the virus rather than much higher as was first thought

It seems that "the jab" is not the panacea we had all hoped. If it 'merely' reduces the possibility of death but nothing else, then social distancing and other preventative measures are going to be with us indefinitely and Covid19 is possibly going to be part of the landscape on a permanent basis. A depressing thought.
