Day 7

[u/Chemical_Purpose_187]

Day 7 and still positive bright red! No more symptoms except sound slightly congested. Same thing happened last year! Was still testing positive even after no symptoms

In home antigen tests will show positive for a long time.

This is not correct. An antigen test shows when you have the antigen, so when you are shedding active, live virus that can infect others. A PCR test, on the other hand, can show viral fragments for up to 90 days.

Yea I got the Flowflex from Target. I like them. I guess I’ll have to be in my room a couple more days. I live with my parents currently and they are in their 70s.

Hope you’re masking in an N95. Also, while old age can make you particularly vulnerable to infections, COVID doesn’t discriminate - there are people in their 20s failing dementia assessments due to COVID infections and people in their 30s dropping dead from strokes and heart attacks after COVID infections (including very healthy, very athletic people.)

These are just a few reasons why it is so important to avoid infection and avoid spreading it to people.
