IF all you are doing is making such statements to draw out reactions..... and in reality, if testing positive you would act responsibly and isolate then you have succeeded in triggering responses to your deliberately misleading comments..... thats somewhat trollish wouldn’t you think ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmlc Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 As per the attached mind map, it’s up to the doctor. The short answer is you can stay home if your symptoms are not severe or non existent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The short answer is you can stay home if your symptoms are not severe or non existent. When I saw that graphic from the government originally, it gave me a big headache just trying to look at it! ???? As for the OP's question, there's a recently explained government policy that's supposed to guide these kinds of decisions, and then there's what actually happens in any given locale, where as is typical in TH, YMMV. In general, the policy is generally supposed to allow home quarantine IF people don't have symptoms or only mild symptoms. But there are caveats to that. One is that supposedly the government health staff will assess the home setting to determine whether a home quarantine option would be appropriate. (For example, a studio apartment or condo with 4 occupants probably isn't gonna cut it.). But the other area of caveats under their policy was the particulars of the patient/person who tested positive. If that person is older/elderly and/or has other medical conditions that put them a higher risk for bad COVID outcomes, I believe the govt's policy gives them the option to order hospitel or hospital in those cases, assuming those kinds of beds are available in the given location.

digbeth Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 even if condos committee decided not to allow home isolation, they kind already do, even during the last wave, people were waiting up to weeks to get hospitalized, at my condos, we had to implement a protocol to accept garbage from infected rooms, having security deliver food up to their door. if a condo decided they won't have any infected person on building ever they'd have to throw residents out on the street while they wait to be picked up into hospitals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lacessit Posted January 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2022 I did 14 days quarantine in Phan Hospital after being diagnosed COVID-positive with a nasal swab. I was not really sick, just a sore throat and runny nose for 2-3 days. Double vaccinated beforehand. I did not get the option of isolating at home, I was the captive of a bureaucracy. Although that may have been due to my age, being in the highest risk group. My GF and I were asked to isolate at home for 5 days after leaving quarantine, which was free. When someone is sick with gastro or the flu, no-one asks them to quarantine at home. Severely ill patients go to hospital. Some people die there. AFAIK there are no self-test kits for either ailment. Perhaps when the hysteria over COVID dies down, it will simply become a matter of staying at home if you diagnose positive with a swab, or going to hospital if you have severe symptoms. It makes sense in terms of the strain on hospital resources. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am self ATK testing regularly (2-3 x per week) before we pop round to a friends house for dinner etc... If we tested positive, we’d just self isolate at home until we all had a couple of negative tests in a row. This may be the point KhunLA was trying to make when he wrote that his health is no one else business - from that perspective perhaps he is correct. However, for those who do not self isolate and put others at risk their heath then very much becomes everyone’s business.
