Quarantine Life

hollowfox3 said:They’re all online now, probably catching wind from the news sites that the whole mandatory quarantine system was a total wash. Now, the official word is basically just "do whatever you want" and look out for yourselves—which, let’s be honest, is just code for "good luck."

A friend of mine didn't even get a call, so she went ahead and reached out herself to get logged into the system... and yeah, she basically just volunteered for a headache. Now she's stuck sitting through a long stretch of isolation because of it...

Honestly, I don't see the point in testing unless you actually have symptoms or some specific reason to need it. Especially when you have to shell out your own cash for it.

The person I'm talking about actually *did* get a call, and they were told the rest of the household didn't need to isolate. That's the issue here.

And this person doesn't have any symptoms at all. No fever, nothing. She was tested for a completely different reason—she needs surgery.

Now she’s tested positive, feels fine, and who’s to say the people living with her aren't also positive without knowing it?
They’re walking around spreading it to people who might actually die from it.
They go to work and live their lives like everything is normal, all while sharing a house with someone who is positive. It makes zero sense.

That’s why the numbers look the way they do. It isn't just because people are careless; it's because the public health officials are being negligent.

If my quarantine lasts until the 18th, does that mean I can head out on the 18th, or am I stuck inside that day too?

It probably includes the 18th—I guess. When exactly did the quarantine start?

It’s been 14 days. So, I guess you're free starting tomorrow.

That’s what I thought. I called my doctor yesterday and she said she'd have the paperwork sent over by 6:00 PM.
Suppose for some reason that 6:00 PM deadline passes and I get pulled over during a routine traffic stop—will the police actually see my quarantine status when they run my info through their system?

It depends, really... whether or not they’ve integrated that specific data into the app. In the healthcare sector—you know, like at the local clinics, hospitals, or even pharmacies—it’s set up so that as soon as a patient is checked in, an alert pops up automatically if they're under isolation.

I'm pretty sure that includes the 18th.

What's the deal with kids in class lately?
Someone in my kid's grade caught COVID, and now they're sending everyone home into isolation.
Is this actually a big deal, or can I just shrug it off?
The reason I'm asking is because my little one has music class today, and I'm stuck wondering if I should even bother sending them... I highly doubt they're out there testing every healthy kid just to put them in quarantine...
Anyone else dealing with this right now? Any experiences?

With some 20,000 people stuck in isolation, I mean, who's actually left to oversee all that...

Exactly. But trying to explain that to some people is a lost cause.
We should just tell everyone—IF YOU'RE TERRIFIED OF THIS VIRUS, JUST STAY HOME, and everyone else can go back to business as usual while wearing masks.
People clearly don't realize that this whole situation is going to absolutely wreck us—some will lose everything financially, others will struggle mentally... if this madness keeps up.
Just look back at Mad Cow disease, bird flu, swine flu... and what actually happened?
Nothing.

That's just it. If someone knows they have certain health issues, they should probably take extra precautions—at the end of the day, their health is their own responsibility, right? And if you've got family or close friends who are high-risk, then sure, be careful for their sake—but everyone else should just be allowed to live normally. All these masks, lockdowns, self-isolation nonsense... it's just too much.
At the end of the day, people are responsible for looking after their own health.

So, did you ever officially find out if they actually put you on quarantine status or not?

Jessm, I called my primary care physician on Friday. She mentioned she’d be writing the note starting from a certain date—not 14 days out, I think—through the 18th.
Now I’m stuck debating whether I should actually bother heading out tomorrow or not.😁

Wait, hold on—you were the one who called? So nobody actually reached out to you? Like, if you hadn't made that call, you wouldn't have even known? Honestly, if you hadn't checked, you could've just gone about your business without a single worry. That’s how it works—anyone could be stuck in isolation without ever realizing it! Ugh, well, hang in there for one more day. It's Sunday, so just grab some popcorn, hop on Netflix, and chill.

It’s on you. Seriously—if someone finds out a kid should be isolating but they're still out and about, you could report it to the local health department. Then, you've got school officials breathing down your neck at home. Plus, what if your kid happens to have it and passes it to a classmate whose grandma or grandpa is really sick? You don't want that on your conscience just because your kid wanted to go to music class. Look, I'm totally against the whole COVID craze, but let's use some common sense here.

Yeah, nobody notified me. I called just to be safe, because I didn't want to head down to the local pub if I was officially on the list.
I've been chilling at home for nine days now; I'm not looking forward to a tenth unless I absolutely have to.😁

I mean, you probably wouldn't have even had to deal with those nine days if you hadn't bothered calling! Since they aren't exactly doing their jobs, I guess there's really no reason for you to go out of your way for them either.

Honestly, it’s a lot easier than the anxiety I feel whenever I see a police cruiser roll by. 😁

I guess you'd have a point there. It really isn't right when the authorities just drop the ball and fail to actually notify the people who are supposed to be under those orders.
