allergy symptoms had Ellie taking a Covid test just to be sure tonight

negative but would suck so much for her to catch it twice

second test this morning came up negative, but she does have a mild fever and called out of work

Gemma has a cold so we know there is non-covid sick in the house

my guess is strep because there was someone at the Bagelry that had it recently

flu a and hpmv is super prevalent here

the_cascadian : I wonder what the consequences of pandemic and masking/removal of masking have done to our endemic cold and flu strains

like is there a measurable spike compared to height of pandemic when cold and flu cases have been at historical lows?

not an actual question at you, Will but in the last week I've heard of more people sick with non-covid upper repository stuff than all pandemic

and I guess Ellie did travel to Seattle for interview middle of last week.

see i've been hearing/seeing that too. Office folks with mild colds, or babies with lots of sneezies.

got results back from urgent care. it's not Covid, flu or strep
