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.
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.
