Husband is an MD. Patients wanting covid tests have significantly increased post-Christmas. Nearly every person testing positive is vaxxed and boosted, including clinic staff.
Same with adjacent hospital and ER. Majority testing positive are fully vaxxed.
If you can't taste an IPA then you have covid. I still wouldn't go to the hospital. I have two friends that got covid never went to the hospital.. just got over it.
This X 1000. WTF do these idiots hope to accomplish? To drive up the FAUX false positive numbers?? To be told by a doctor, "Yes -- YOU'RE SICK."
Honest to God, people have lost their fucking minds. In NoVA, the drug stores are cleaned out of home tests, and those drug stores and urgent care facilities that are attempting to issue C19 tests have DAY-LONG waits.
DO. NOT. COMPLY. Geez, people...
It’s a combination of people have sniffles or flu or a cold and thinking it’s “Omicron” which I honestly don’t even think exists…
People wanting tests because their families are demanding it or because they want out of work for a week or two and they have a new scariant to blame it on…
And also people getting tested because their work is requiring it. That is a lot of the problem that fuels the fire; workplaces demanding tests and sometimes consecutive negative tests even for people who aren’t sick.
again, sitting at work in the ER tonight and we are out the door full of people who "need to be seen" wanting covid tests, no one dying, no one gasping for air, just a cough, some fevers, some have GI symptoms (mostly the kids), clogging up the er which is already short staffed due to the vaxxed nurses being out, rediculous and NO ONE MAKES A CONNECTION who witnesses this
Just drink a few more IPAs. You'll sleep better anyway.
