There's another 🌊 of #COVID19, y'all. I have gotten more texts since Mon asking questions about monoclonal antibodies, about Paxlovid, about rapid tests, & on & on than I have in the whole month preceding. Be aware. All these folks tested at home & are uncounted in tallies.
This is anecdotal, but a pattern recently: people staying pos longer on rapid test. Here's an older pt, 4 doses Moderna #COVID19 #vaccine, mono Ab on d1, feels 100% now, & still quickly/strongly pos (ie very contagious) on d10. Had he not retested, he might be infecting others. 
@CDCgov shortened isolation to 5d in Jan b/c they were concerned society may fail to function w/ huge #s of essential workers out for 10d in #Omicron surge. This has to be changed. People are leaving at d5 w/o masking or testing. They need to rapid test to exit or isolate longer.
And before anyone says "but this patient feels fine!"
Yes, THIS pt--this #vaccinated + #boosted x 2 patient, w/ immed access to monoclonal Ab--feels fine. Who may NOT feel fine are people w/o all of those advantages whom he could've easily infected had he not isolated so long.
