In the last 72 hrs my phone has exploded with calls/texts/emails of people who have tested positive and are asking for advice. Thus I put together a 🧵with answers:
1. If I have symptoms and my RT is neg do I don't have COVID? Maybe or maybe not. Get a 2nd test 24 hrs later.

2. Can I gather with family for Christmas? Yes but everyone vaccinated (ideally boosted), without symptoms and a negative RT the day before and right before the gathering (double negative RT).
3. Where can I get a RT? In Atlanta Viral Solutions for sure.

4. Can I go to Church Christmas eve/day? Yes but no singing (congregational signing is very high risk), fully masked with a high quality mask and a large room not packed with a short service.
5. Should I cancel a flight? It is safe to fly, wear a high quality mask and keep it on

6. Can I go out to eat at a restaurant? I only do outdoor restaurants with fully masked waiters.
7. When is it safe to end my isolation? 7 days after a positive test if you feel much better you are good.
8. When can I get boosted after testing +? As soon as you feel better.

9. My child return home from college and has a cold? Keep them in quarantine until you can get them tested and, if symptomatic, have them tested twice with a RT.
10. Can I get monoclonals? The cureently available ones have little activity against Omicron which is dominant now.
