What a great story to read while I wait for a call back from my doctor, due to a sore throat…
It would be nice if there were information on what part of the throat is supposed to hurt. I’ve got pain in the esophagus, but not the trachea. I can talk pain-free, but it hurts like hell to swallow.
I’ll leave this here lol. My kids loved my “birds and the bees” talk

😂
Ohh, if only my love life were that adventurous.
CDC site showing current variants, their lineages, and percentages. Also possibly a NowCast for your state or region.
Wastewater scan for covid and other infectious diseases. Filter by state or selected individual sewage processing plants that are part of the wastewater scan project (note that not all plants test for all diseases). Tells you how prevalent those diseases are in that area, potentially before diseases start to surge. May also have variant information.
PMC data dashboard. Lots of potentially useful stuff.
And people look at you weird if you wear an N95 at the airport.
Oh no! ICE is here
i thought i had covid last month, but it turns out it was a cold which i hadnt gotten since the pandemic. the past infection of covid, only were detected through the test and mild symptoms almost non-noticible if your already vaccinated against it. cold symptoms came on full force.
Weird website that didn’t name states. Maybe there’s a map that reader mode filtered out
Nope.
A map released by the Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data shows that 21 states in the United States are reporting COVID-19 variant NB.1.8.1 as of Thursday afternoon.
Quick search.
Nope. No pictures other than ads.
I still have some covid home tests, will these still throw a positive on the new variants? (Assuming the test is still good)
before the “razor throat” was published, my wife and I both got it and the tests came back negative so we thought it was something else. Nope, it was totally ‘razor throat covid’. Wasted 2 tests (or maybe the tests are just too old now?)
My mom had something in VA in mid-June and said it felt like razor blades in her throat. She tested negative for COVID. 🤔
what was recovery like?
Sore throat for a few days and then a couple weeks to full recovery. She’s nearly 70 though.
Same. The doctor gave me the at-home test and they came back negative twice. Then I took an actual COVID test at the doctor and that came back positive.
pcr is the most accurate for covid, but most people dont have access to that kind of testing.
Will the new tests?
