Covid quarantine not enough

Hello all. I came down with Covid symptoms more than two weeks ago on February 19th/20th and tested positive February 22. I quarantined for 2 weeks although the CDC recommends a minimum of 10 days from the first day of symptoms for people who test positive. I am 35 in decent health and my symptons were minor aches and fever for about the first 3-4 days with slight dizziness and headaches off and on for about 7-8 days. I have been feeling normal for more than a week.

However, my issue is that today I was at a friends to look at a window that needs a blind repaired. When I was leaving we talked for a few minutes and I mentioned that I had tested positive but had also quarantined for the 14 days instead of the 10 recommended by the CDC. Unfortunately she was very upset that I even came by and didn't tell her first. She was also bothered that I would even be out in the first place. I did wear a mask the entire time and maintained distance as well. She is only around 30 years old although she has had some health problems.

I am not really sure what to do or how to respond to all of her angry texts that she has been sending me from panic even though I explained that I was careful to quarantine for longer than required and also that I am feeling fine. Honestly I feel that we won't return to normal for a long time and that people won't trust anyone again.

Just looking for thoughts on what to do for this situation and what to do for future situations.
