If he is cleared by a dr then he isn't contagious anymore 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️. A Dr wouldn't send someone around others if they were still contagious. Why is so hard to understand that?
There is no way to know if he is still contagious yet. There is no test for it. He was cleared because he was fever free for over 24 hours.


Was there someone monitoring his fever or?? Cause I would have just said I still had a fever lol. Put the thermometer on something hot.
The doctor took his temp during the assessment. He also had to log his temperature while he was off work.

That's how you traditionally tell if you're over a virus. That's the criteria for going back to school always, going back to work, etc. Fever free for 24 hours is the guideline.

He never had a fever in the first place though.

He doesn't feel well enough to work but it's either that or lose his job.

Bottom line is: He either feels well enough to work or he doesn't. If he doesn't feel well enough to work, he shouldn't be working.

Another test won't make a difference.
I think we've all had to go back to work before we were 100%. I've had the flu a couple of times and that's really a month before you're feeling 100%. I had pneumonia a few years ago and it's a couple of months before you're really back to normal. I still can't take a very hot shower without starting to feel like passing out. LOL

Ideally we'd all be able to stay on the couch and watch Dick Van Dyke reruns for 3 months until we're fully where we want to be, but unfortunately that's not practical.

His symptoms have gotten minimally better and he has been fever free for over 24 hours so he is cleared to work. No wonder other people are getting sick. He is probably still contagious. He can't taste or smell. He has a bad cough. It is hard for him to do much walking. He works in a hospital around people. I just hope others don't get sick.

He doesn't want to work but if he doesn't we are absolutely fucked so there isn't an option.

f**k his work. f**k the CDC. f**k covid 19 I'm pissed.
Here you say he is fever free for 24 Hrs. Above you said there was never a fever? If he is cleared for work he should go to work.

The rules for his work are 10 days after a positive test and 24 hours fever free. He had his appointment 24 hours before returning to work and since he was fever free they cleared him to go to work.

I am so sorry. I know several people who have or have had Covid-19 and the severity of symptoms and rate of recovery has been varied for each. One friend is on week four of not being able to walk more than from her bed to the bathroom. This is a problem of having a set sick leave policy when it comes to this virus that in no way affects all the same or with the same severity.

Listened to a British MP on NPR who is 14 weeks out from Covid-19 and has brain fog so badly that he cannot function at work. At this point we don't know the length of time the lingering neurologic affects, heart and/or lung damage, fatigue, muscle aches, etc. will be. Scary.
