Seems predictable, but suboptimal.
This seems like a not great policy for a variety of reasons.
COVID = 5 extra paid days off
Influenza = 0 extra paid days off
I get whatever I want for sick days. I think I have 25 or so saved right now. I only get to use them on days I work though. Since I essentially work random days of the week itās better this week to wait a bit.
Also donāt think itās Covid right now. Weāll see. I havenāt vomited without it being a hangover is a ridiculous amount of time. That was super unpleasant
Well this clears it right up lol.
To add to my family fun my wife has food poisoning, so like it or not Iām driving our kids to school tomorrow.

Knowing that having a negative antigen test is reliable for being transmission negative is useful, even if there is a window where you might test positive but could be safe to be around people. Of course, many people wonāt be cautious.
Agree. Most of the people I know, myself included, are testing positive many days after initial infection, so I wish the answer to the question of whether weāre contagious wasnāt āmaybeā. But oh well.
This is all definitely frustrating. My wife tested negative for the first time on Sunday and again today, so sheās officially interacting with everyone again. But I donāt really have any idea if that decision-making process was overly cautious, not cautious enough, or just right.
Per the NYT article, you were probably overly cautious, but thereās no good way of knowing if you were too cautious or just right without a cell culture setup. So, you were respectful enough of everyone else to wait until you knew you were safe, which I put into ājust right,ā even if there might have been some time before then when you werenāt a risk to anyone.

24 hour stomache bug?
Seems fine and standard (for these days anyway). If anything, possibly a bit too cautious as wookie describes.
Currently in a 1 hr lecture on how to handle various medication interactions of paxlovid.
I have not had enough coffee for this.

lol meeting is getting spicy.
ED docs are not thrilled with being told to do a med rec on people with 20 meds using a tool to check every one. We donāt have time for that nonsense. Response from this poor speaker is very surprised. That is also not going well.

this is an opportunity for an epic tiktook
nothing makes me feel older than tiktok
They just said they were rolling out a program to do IV monoclonal bebtelovimab in the ER. Again surprised that we react negatively to that when weāre waiting 3-6 hours to get a bed in the ER.
Feeling a lot better today. Weird.

Why is the chosen onomatopoeia for that sound ātitā?
