    Really? State papers? How did you get that? (Cuz I'd like to get some papers for the same reason!)

    We had our testing through the health dept. it's free and took 2-4 days for results. Then you get called for contact tracing and isolation instructions. When time of iso is up, they send by request a cleared for work certificate.

    Contact tracing however has been blown apart at the seams with the number of positives. Here is my experience: after we are entered in the system with the info and our time of iso was completed, I get a random call from the state offices of the health dept downstate. She starts by saying someone had tested positive and listed me as a contact (they were a positive and me the one that needed a test). I told her plainly that was impossible. She asked me why and I told her I have been in isolation, I tested positive and now completed my iso. She was flummoxed. I told her again that I had zero contact with anyone and then added "I WILL NOT BE DOING ANY ISOLATING ACCORDING TO YOUR INFO, I AM DONE WITH IT!". She said "oh I'll have to give this to my supervisor" and she hung up on me.

    Interesting. I'm not going through that. My isolation is up on Tuesday. I have a friend who thought she could go out 24 hours after her fever was done. It's people like this that continue to spread sickness whether it's covid or just the flu.

    This was an error. She had it THREE MONTHS before she tested negative twice. I remember now a nurse telling my that most of them there had it at least 2 months before it went away. Crazy
