This is about two years too late. If you are sick, you have Covid. Don’t go to the hospital or stand in line for test unless you are very sick.
Common sense goes a long a way.
- adamrezich 5y ago> If you are sick, you have Covid. please explain how this statement could possibly be true—what happened to every other illness? like the cold I had last month for example.
- crate_barre 5y agoTrue is irrelevant. Common sense requires some level of acting ‘as if’. Act as if you have a cold. I don’t go around sneezing on people with a cold. I don’t waltz into the office and touch everything with a cold. I rest, eat some soup. Act as if. Now, if I had the cold and it felt like no other cold I ever had, then I may go to the doctor (before I consider the hospital). Things I won’t do if I suspect if I have the cold: 1. Order an online test to see if I have the cold.
- djrogers 5y ago> If you are sick, you have Covid In the past 2 months, at least 3 non-covid illnesses have torn through my family (flu and cold, all verified as non-COVID with multiple tests, both antigen and PCR). If we start treating every case of the sniffles like COVID, we're going to be in perpetual shutdowns...
- crate_barre 5y agoThe opposite. We have a lot of information that says Covid is flu-like for most of us. If you just assume it’s covid, and do what we all do with the flu (take sick days, eat soup, rest, try to stay away from people), that would be the common sense thing to do. Things that are not common sense anymore: 1. Order an online test 2. Stand in line at a clinic for a test 3. Goto the hospital ^ Most of us don’t do that when we get the cold.
