I totally agree that ideally I would test negative before sharing air with anyone, especially those who didn’t “opt-in” to the risk. Unfortunately antigen likely won’t be available in my area, and PCR seems to not be a great indicator of current viral load, so I’m left estimating based on my symptoms/days of isolation. Continuing to isolate is a significant inconvenience/quality of life downgrade for me, but I am able to do it indefinitely without impacting my basic survival needs.
