With COVID-19?Studies suggest:
• Most people are infectious for ~10 days
• ~80% of people test positive for 5 days after symptom onset
• Only ~30% of people who test positive have a fever
• Presence of symptoms is an unreliable indicator of infectiousness
• Individuals can be infectious before the onset of symptoms
• Asymptomatic cases represent at least 20 to 40% of all infections</a></label><br><a href="https://cdn.masto.host/medmastodoncom/media_attachments/files/112/808/491/517/519/198/original/18094661b65f9b6e.png" rel="external">https://cdn.masto.host/medmastodoncom/media_attachments/files/112/808/491/517/519/198/original/18094661b65f9b6e.png</a></li></ol></footer></blockquote>

With many people getting COVID from the summer surge, a reminder that the CDC's isolation guidelines are inadequate.
CDC shortened their isolation guidelines, not because of a change in the science, but in response to political pressure to keep people working even if they are sick.
Science shows most people are infectious for 10+ days; it's best to isolate until you test negative on multiple tests. If you can't stay home the whole time, wear an N95 mask to stop the virus spreading to others.
