IAMHERE Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) CDC in USA just changed to 5 days isolation for Omicron carriers is they are asymptomatic. After two days most are asymptomatic with Omicron variant, I'm lead to believe from internet reports.

connda Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Sure. Take a home ATK test. If you pop positive, shut up and recluse at home until pop negative. Or Run to your nearest private hospital who will forcefully incarcerate you for a price tag between 100K to 1M THB. Remember - you're not a human. You are a rich farang and a walking ATM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JRG23 Posted January 2, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) It seems crazy to me. What motivation does a fully jabbed person with access to online purchases (including paracetamol etc) have to admit to hospital unless faced with serious symptoms? Surely, by far the most sensible and prudent thing to do (once testing positive through ATK) is to isolate at home, medicate appropriately, sleep well, exercise within the confines of your space, and drink lots of water. Wait until you ATK-test negative twice (on days 10 and 11 (or 12/13 etc) of isolation) and that's it. What's the motivation for admitting to hospital, apart from lining the hospital's pockets with money? Am I missing something? I know loads of people in the UK who have Covid at the moment. Everyone I know is perfectly able to manage this at home. I know those who are weak, aging etc are not in the same boat and hospital might be appropriate for these people. But for everyone else?????

samtam Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I would think with the likely surge in Omicron variants of CV-19, if all who tested positive were required to be hospitalised, the system would be overwhelmed. Those who can isolate at home and who have mild symptoms should be allowed to do so. I imagine it will be a fast changing policy as the coming days reveal how many new cases have developed over the New Year holiday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partially agreeable... i.e. Avoid all ‘official’ testing at a hospital. But, test regularly with ATK at home for the benefit of others - i.e. we’ve been testing at home etc before going around to friends houses or having friends round at ours - they’ve been doing the same. If my my family and / or I test positive, we isolate at home until we test negative. But... I have to take a PCR test before travelling to work - then I have little choice and if I test positive I just have to accept the consequences (but would demand a second test to make sure).
