Oh wow! I live in a very red county that wants no protocols but NY state still requires schools to follow CDC. I'm pretty sure my kids' cafeteria has a separate table for those who are coming back to school but still within days 6-10.
I still tested pos on day 10 and didn't have symptoms after day 2 (this was in April so 2nd omicron variant, not current BA4 or BA5 which seems more contagious and causes more symptoms even in vaxed folks). I didn't continue to test because I didn't need a negative test for work or travel.
Unfortunately the booster isn't much help lately. I have a friend who just tested positive and was boosted 12days before his exposure. Booster not only didn't prevent the infection but he's been sick as a dog too so it didn't help lessen illness.

Gluten free since Nov '11 after non-celiac gluten sensitive diagnosis. Have had great improvement or total elimination of: migraines, bloating/distention, heartburn, cystic acne, canker sores, bleeding gums, eczema on elbows, dry skin and scalp, muscle cramps, PMS, hair loss, heart palpitations, fatigue. I'm amazed.
