2 weeks since the moment you can go back and point that someone in the household had it (i.e. the first symptom in the household). Use common sense.
No need to test positive, if the symptoms are gone wait a few days according to your doctor guidance.
Guidance varies widely unfortunately. Also, testing to see if you're still positive isn't covered under most insurances apparently, but can be done for $$$.

He's right. I'm self isolating 8 days already and i'm going nuts.

My family's business built over 40 years is at risk of default. I am laying off people every day and I know it's destroying their lives.

This must end, and we'll just become more careful about Hygiene!

Just like shuls and workplaces did right away when the scare began   ::)
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

The next best Heimish business to be in now is in building private Mikvaos for people. I'm ordering one ASAP...

You know my view of Trump.
Do think we can find a balance or just a total shutdown until we have the virus under control?

We need to find a balance or we are almost certainly headed into a depression. China is a dictatorship and hundreds of millions already live in poverty. They can deal with the consequences of a total shutdown. We cannot.

We need more drastic action before we can loosen up the restrictions. We also desperately need PPE for anyone that wants to go back work, and that shouldn't happen until HCP's get a healthy supply of PPE.

Two points.

1) In light of his own comments the day before, it would seem this is simply case of a politician never missing an opportunity to make political hay. 

2) His comments about not accelerating the economy at the cost of human lives strike me as disingenuous.  All economic activity comes at a risk to human life and you need to acknowledge that before you can have a meaningful discussion on the correct balance.

Yes they do matter and what makes sense when said by Cuomo can't be crazy when said by Trump.
