Just trying to understand what happens with a Student who tests Positive for Covid and does not feel ill !!!
Does it just go away when their body generates antibodies and then they are well ??
Do they then get another test which is then Negative and how long from Positive to Negative. No one seems to have said what happens to the ( not ill people ) we all know what happens to the people with serious underlying conditions but the Young ??

Normally with a positive result you will need to isolate for 14 days - doesn’t matter the symptoms. You have been tested.
By the way, where are you based? Down load nhs app where is will give you the best information. Or call 111?
Hi Cat
I understand the 14 day quarantine my question is after 14 days are the Young then Negative that is the question I was looking for an answer to.
I am in England gods own country !!

I guess you will need to be tested again? Best to call 111.
Was with you until the gods own country waffle 🤮
I could of put Gods own County which could have been Lancashire or Yorkshire or my adopted county of Dorset. Highland was my adopted county from 1984 then onto Grampian so I have a fair knowledge of our British Isles. I had my bypass in The ARI in 2015.
I am still trying to understand how the News has it that students will have to stay at Uni over Christmas we have 3 months until Xmas. I think every student will have had Corona Virus by then.

I'm between Dundee and Aberdeen - local news is full of video and photos from the poor kids down in Dundee having to quarantine in their student accommodations - they're using post-it notes and gaffer tape to write messages on their windows. 'HELP' 'SEND FOOD' are the two most used messages currently.
So like you, I'm curious about the entire process - if positive, does the 14 day quarantine start all over and then it's assumed they'll be safe to wander freely? If one is positive but the rest of the building occupants are negative will the negative group have to continue the quarantine (the students share bathing facilities, none of their quarters are en-suite)? And will they be in effective quarantine through Hogmanay (to explain why the rumour is they won't be home for Christmas)?
Hopefully we have at least one parent on the forum with a uni student who can update us.
Hi Sunnie
Find the situation with the university students just awful, watched Nicola Sturgeon at lunch time, any parent of a student will be worried to death. There doesn’t seem to be anything where these kids are being looked after.
You can’t go and get them so you can look after them and if these kids are phoning home saying they are not feeling well my goodness it must terrible.
Hope you and yours are doing well.

Last night was the big all-family conference Skype (one family unit in Alabama, the other in California) to plan Christmas but all we really talked about was the pandemic. They're all fine, my Alabama DIL so far is the only one who has had it back in April and she was able to stay out of hospital, thank-goodness.
I heard one of the Abertay students say the uni is arranging Tesco deliveries - bagged, tagged, and carried to each 'flat' door (no entry, students are to cautiously open the door and retrieve their bag(s) from the hall) but other than that they're on their own. Apparently they're Zooming and using their PlayStations to communicate with one another, one Fresher girl shouted down her window to the reporter she's making friends via Zoom, and another Fresher said he and his new mates are playing streaming video games on their X-Boxes and PlayStations but they're bored blind already.
Makes me very happy my children are 20+years out of uni and the grands are at least five years away from it.
Know what you mean, Lily starts finals first week in November due to start uni next February (Australia ) she as been offered a place at Canberra that’s a 3 hour flight away from home. Though she as offers from Perth too, maybe that would be a better choice! There as been very little of the virus in Perth but you never know. Son was telling us a person who had arrived in Perth from somewhere that he needed to self isolate for 2 weeks he didn’t the police tracked him down threw him in jail he was tested no Covid but he ended up in jail for 3 months!
Second eldest as just started 6th form so she is 2 years away hopefully by then life will have some form of normalcy.
Take good care Pauline
You take care as well, Pauline. We'll get through this although it's a bit hard to see the light at the end of an increasingly long tunnel the now
Apparently item rationing is beginning now at the bigger supermarkets now - I'm happy to go to the back of the queue to be sure the uni students get their weekly pot noodles!
Had a delivery this morning, driver was saying the same thing, you made me laugh about pot noodles remember both my boys use to take loads back with them, I am happy to join you at the back of the queue😂
The government guidance is if you have a positive test you quarantine for at least 10 days.
“If you are not experiencing symptoms but have tested positive for COVID-19, self-isolate for at least 10 days, starting from the day the test was taken. If you develop symptoms during this isolation period, restart your 10-day isolation from the day you developed symptoms.”
As I understand it the positive asymptotic won’t get another test but will then just go back to ‘normal’ life once quarantine period up. I’m assuming their body has an antibody response even though they are asymptotic, haven’t a number of people been found to have antibodies to C19 having been unaware they had the infection?
