So they said Omicron was more infectious. Omicron cases appear and all of a sudden we see an explosion in cases but it’s from the same variants that were already here?
:rudy:

we were always gonna see a covid wave because of the holidays. theres still a 1-2 week delay with the delta variant.

They didn't say that

If you have NO symptoms after 5 days they are saying you can go back IF you have to go back after a period of 5 days AND thats provided you wear a mask an additional 5 days

Seems like people are intentionally misrepresenting or misunderstanding the recommendation

And mind you it's still just a recommendation

If you're able to stay out for 10 days you can stay out for 10 days

Not how I saw it positioned, but can you not still spread it asymptomatic?

Omicron is definitely the cause of the explosion.

CDC tried to downplay it by stating that it was over 73% of current cases, meaning the worst is about to be over.

The real number of actual Omicron cases was much lower at that time, which means there’s now plenty room for this to get a lot worse. Can you imagine when we legitimately do hit that 73% threshold?

My case so far would probably be described as mild but these chills, body aches are terrible af, I hope this is worst as it gets, I'm unvaccinated btw

My family didn't get vaccinated despite me telling them to a gang of times, my pops is immunocompromised and they didn't vaccinate him. :snoop: They were mad at me for doing a drive by dropping off gifts for Christmas n yesterday I get the text from my sister saying she tested positive and everyone else is waiting on their tests but they all have coughs/fever/aches/feel fukked up except for my middle sister that is vaccinated, she has zero symptoms. :francis: Mind you my lungs are wrecked from acute chest syndrome I had a few years ago as a side effect of sickle cell I don't have the luxury of fukking around w my health and these maniacs had the nerve to give me shyt for not staying n eating during thanksgiving/christmas. :beli: I'm hoping for the best for all of them especially my pops but damn man all of this could have easily been avoided :snoop: .


My extended fam were on this bs too idk what it is about our community that got them on this anti vax shyt but it is wild frustrating :snoop:

youd have to start and remain asymptomatic -

everyone starts off showing NO symptoms which is the most contagious period of time - WHEN YOU INITIALLY SHOW SIGNS its less contagious than the previous days that you showed no signs....thevirus is the MOST contagious in the few days BEFORE you shows signs that you have COVID

the recommendation is for those who either show NO signs for 5 days consistantly OR if you showed signs and after day 3 or 4 or 5 you have a much lessened or no signs at all AFTER you showed signs and got diagnosed....

you then are advised to still wear a mask during the entire 10 days


let me stress that this is why testing ( or reliable tests) is a must and in reality because of the way this virus operates they should be doing testing everyday - vaxed or not vaxed - whether you show symptoms or not.

PCR tests take to long to give a result- a day or more and the difference in a day could mean youve already infected people and they in turn have also unknowingly contracted the virus.

and the rapid tests are antigen tests which are error prone since you could have COVID but your body is not producing the antigens yet to rise to a level of being detected- hence you can get a false negative.
