Had probably 15 people cancel last min due to contact tracing and another 5 due to having covid... fuck I wish ford has just shut us down. By the time it got bad it was too late to cancel.
I think that’s part of the reason for some of the messaging.All things positive COVID news today is great but I'm afraid it's going to get some people socializing more than they would be (or should be) otherwise.
It adjusts for every single factor (maybe too much tbh.. it's really complex). The theme is that the "omicron is more mild" bit has way more to do with prior immunity, which is a very powerful thing. The unvaxxed have always skewed the severity numbers. Now we're seeing the vaxxed get infected just as much as the unvaxxed per capita and they have clear, incredible protection from severe disease.Any chance that entire study can be chalked up to recently double dosed vs lowered immunity protection?
I will say that everyone should have a covid plan (it's one of the things I'm kicking myself on). Testing isn't possible so most people will eventually need to isolate, make sure you know who is getting you groceries if you can't survive 7-10 days on what's on hand.
This adjustment was included in the England study. And young people got it fairly mild pre-vaccines. I was barely symptomatic. Reinfections and vaccines reduce your risk of hospitalization by another 60-70% if infected. That's... Incredible protection and explains why young healthy people are getting it mild. And it also likely explains why the SA wave has been 50-60% less severe than their delta wave.The one data point that the nerds keep ignoring that imo is so, so important is people hospitalized because of covid vs ppl hospitalized with covid - At least until we have a better grasp on length of stay / outcome severity.
Data from SA and Denmark both showed a huge proportion (25+%) of covid positive patients in hospital for reasons other than covid. Which might not be too concerning given transmissibility of this variant.
anyways of the folks I know who’ve got it… all still very mild symptoms or asymptomatic.
friend who is in covid rd 2 said she feels 100 pct already (showed mild symptoms on Monday)
That's a lot of testing. In the past with rapid tests you tested positive a little before infectious and much before symptomatic. I'm reading that this has changed with omicron and rapid tests may miss the first ~24 hours of infectiousness. Now that they're becoming more available they're less accurate. Sweet!I'll see if Dr presto can find a stat for this...
I've tested negative 7 days in a row (rapid tests) including 7 times in the last 3.5 days.
Have a runny nose and a slight cough yesterday. Covid or stress related cold?
Got it today so we shall see... also got booster on Monday. Either way we have to isolate til Saturday at leastThat's a lot of testing.

With that said it sounds like a cold but get your pcr.
Yes. Though I've been seeing a lot of people show symptoms and still test negative on omicron using a rapid nasal swab. This is very new and omicron specific I think. All anecdotal at this point but there are A LOT of examples. I'm sure it's different for everyone but definitely not ideal for these tests.But usually contagious before symptomatic?
To summarize... no positives tests in 7 days should mean not contagious for the first 6 days at minYes.
