I don’t believe I have covid at all. So why the hell am I at home?

I feet horrible yesterday. I already called out of work for a couple days. I don’t wanna get fired. Fever, chills, aching, headache, soar throat. I’m still congested, have a cough, a headache but my soar throat is gone, my fever is going down. I know the test says positive but I still don’t believe I have covid. My parents don’t think I have it and I should go to work tomorrow but the test said positive. My dad said the test could be a lie and I sound better when I talked to him on the phone.
Why am I at home?! I should be at work.

You're old enough to decide for yourself if you are up to going to work or not! You feel too ill? you stay at home! You get some strength back, feel you can survive, you go to work!

It's called common sense! Everybody had it before 2020!

WHO NEEDS A TEST??? Testing yourself to see if you're ill? What nonsense? Throw your tests in the trash and do what YOU THINK AND FEEL IS BEST!

And by the way, I hope you're soon back to normal health

I’m sorry, but common sense says stay home when sick regardless of what virus it is. I don’t think much of people who go to work and infect others, even with a cold. @WalterF

The test is bogus. Your doctor shoud listen to your lungs and decide if and when you can go back.

Stop testing. Covid goes away.

Let’s assume you are right, and your symptoms are not caused by Covid, but by some other virus, so why would you go back to work when you still have symptoms and infect others? Be considerate when you are sick, and stay home until you are better.

If you feel better....then test

Get two consecutive days NEGATIVE tests before you consider going back to work..... (because HR will usually ask what you did to confirm you are not going to infect everyone by returning early)

Can you still smell things and taste things? Those are also main signs of having covid. People that have covid lose their sense of smell and taste.

Nooooo, of you get everyone sick they'll forever hate you

@Andromedanian i’m already starting to feel a little better but I’m still contagious. Don’t worry I’m not going to work for a few days. Honestly I don’t think I have Covid at all. I should get tested again
