Of here (Egypt) yet.
one more temperature check in the morning, and if everyone passes, then quarantine is over.
Plans then to make 7 hour drive to Cairo on Monday, overnight and catch a British Air to London and London to Denver if it doesn't get cancelled like my original Lufthansa booking from Frankfurt to Denver.
im not looking forward to sharing air with others that may infected, but I'm heading home finally. Long haul with a mask isn't appealing but I'll do it.

update.
On Monday I Made it to Cairo, had dinner and two beers with a few of the boys. Set two alarms for 23:00 as to be plenty early for my 02:00 flight to Frankfurt and went to bed @ 19:00, woke at 01:40 in bed drenched in sweat and feeling pretty damn warm, along with a low grade headache. And 35 missed calls on my phone of people trying reach me to see why I wasn't at the airport. Never heard anything until I woke on my own.
Immediately called our travel agent and got her out of bed to work on my dilemma.
She quickly got me booked Cairo, London, DFW, Denver and home. I didn't mention to her how I woke.
I showered and went to airport to catch the 06:40 BA flight to London and did, was feeling like more normal temp by this time.
Flew to London on BA, no trouble with security, then AA to DFW and AA to Denver with no more symptoms.
No issues clearing immigration in DFW, filled out a form that stated I hadn't been in any of the listed countries and Egypt wasn't on the list. No temperature check, went right through without any dramas.
Stayed the night in Denver and hopped the flight to Idaho this morning, arriving home a short time ago.
Started a time/temp chart for my Bride and I, my first was 98.1 for her and 97.8 for me.
Not sure what happened in Cairo, but it damn sure worried me for a bit.
All Expats in our operations being sent home as Egypt will shut down all flight operations Thursday at 12:00 noon and not to resume until 1-April.
I have a return date of 08-April, but am very skeptical that will come to pass.
Bad thing is our colleague who initially had it, tested positive again on Sunday and they won't let him out of the isolation hospital to travel home, until he has two consecutive negative tests, not sure how long he will be stuck there.
Just have to ride this wave and see where it crests.

If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!
As of earlier this evening, it was still a go.
But situation can change quickly. If they can't get me to Denver, I may try to go London to Calgary and then to Denver.
just riding the wave for now.

Hang in there. Be smart.
new route back through Frankfurt with Lufthansa, but instead of through Denver, I have to go via ORD Chicago as Denver is not one of the 13 major airports set for screening international passengers.
only have two hour layover and news is spreading gloom and doom that the wait time in ORD is 4-6 hours.
Guess, I'll be overnighting in ORD or Denver, hopefully make home on Wednesday to begin my 14 day self quarantine. At least I'll have a little more freedom of movement than my previous quarantine.
i can wander around my corrals and mess with my mules, horses, and dogs.
Heck, I might even attempt something productive.

Yes the airports were empty on the way out last Monday but pretty busy on the way back Thursday. I think more folks were returning.
good luck
I you need a cheer up package when you get home, shoot me your address and I will mail you a box.
update is in my first post on the thread.
