    Got it for the first time at Pearl Jam in Camden. I guess my symptoms were considered mild but I was in pretty bad shape as the fever kept going up a day or two into it. Now I am on day 8 and, basically, feel fine despite still testing positive. 
    I believe you can test positive on the home kits for up to 90 days.  Research that though as I do remember there was problems w testing at home.

    But with PCR tests, which look for the virus's genetic material, people may test positive for even longer, Dr. Alberto Paniz-Mondolfi, associate professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, explained. "You can still have positivity that may persist for weeks and even months," he explained, noting that positive tests on PCR have been recorded for up to 60 days.

    @tempo_n_groove Yes, you can test + on PCR tests for 90 days, but at home tests are not PCR's, so your 1st comment is incorrect.

    How can anyone truly know they specifically caught it at a show?.. no way to know... most of the same people went to pre-parties, after parties, airports, gas stations, restaurants, etc...etc...etc.. People saying they caught it at this show or that show is pure speculation.

    I inferred from that statement that it would be preferred to come down with it after going out & doing something worthwhile as opposed to staying at home / skipping large gatherings and still coming down with it regardless. 

    But lastexit can speak for themselves, I'm just speculating.

    I absolutely get what you're saying, but if someone skipped a concert or other social gatherings in an effort to avoid getting covid, but gets covid anyway, then f it... may as well have gone to the show / the social gatherings.

    I understand both points.

    This  is the weirdest  virus ever.  Ive sat here all week looking after my child and partner whilst not catching it . I may well  do in the near future  but ive been coughed  on
     Breathed on and been in full contact for 5 days. Odd

    There are no precautions  i can take i have to look after my child and partner and her 15 year old son. Its ok don't  worry. Its coming to everyone  at some point. I truly  figured my goose was cooked as i take my daughter  every morn and her class  had an out break and school said bring  the damn kids in as long as no fever. Even if poss.  Fuckin mental but at that point whats the  point.  So she got it and so on.
