OT: Coronavirus Resources - and other things to not worry about

To summarize... no positives tests in 7 days should mean not contagious for the first 6 days at min

From a nonexpert reading experts I'd be shocked if the rapid test didn't pick up a positive if you've been symptomatic for 7 days. I don't think that's possible.

But if you were only symptomatic since yesterday then yeah you were probably infectious at least for the day or two before that. Presymptomatic spread is a staple of covid and the reason it fucks us. We don't know the incubation period for omicorn yet but the one nerd predicted the tests may miss 24 hours of infectiousness at times (maybe just for some?) based on what he's experienced or heard. Was just a guess tho I think. Not based on data. But infectious before symptomatic is still definitely happening.
 
isn’t there some research that with vaccines in some cases we may primarily be infectious while presymptomatic?

Yes that happens with all sorts of viruses as we become more familiar with them. No actual proof we're at that stage with covid yet tho. Many stories of superspreader events lately from using the rapid tests. Of course those are the stories told; the gatherings without outbreaks aren't told! So without actual data it's hard to know how common it is.

Here's the general progression... And again there's no data behind this (this guy tends to say things he thinks are likely without evidence and did it with the symptoms coming before infectious thing and got a lot of backlash and backtracked).



It's just an omicron thing. Testing still reduces risk tho. Better than doing nothing.

 
My daughter finally managed to book an appt. for her booster. … Mid March. 🤞 Hopefully something will become available sooner as she is a type 1diabetic and her work is classified as health work.

God dammit how long before they’re telling us we need to anal swab these???
 
There’s a bunch of pop ups this way but I will wait until after Christmas in case the post booster side effects are like post second jab. I need to be a funtional
Human (ish) for the next three days until hubs is off work. Being home alone with the kiddo won’t work if I’m like I was after second dose Moderna.

I’d get it as soon as you can.
 
It's eye watering but expected. The south African wave was approximately 1 month from the start of its rise to it's drop. I'm expecting similar to us. We may peak in a week or so.
