Good Morning Anons, I woke up with Omicron, otherwise known as a cold 🥶 . This is freakin ridiculous now if you have a cold you have to quarantine to save the world! Symptoms of Omicron and Covid 19 are eerily similar to a Cold, thats because it is a cold! This article is a sign of how doctors are now insane.
I'm a Doctor and Here's What to Do When You Get Omicron
With the omicron COVID variant proving more transmissible than any other, there's a very good chance you'll catch it, no matter how careful you are. To keep you safe, Dr. Tatiana Prowell, an Associate Professor of Oncology at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, who serves people with COVID-19, tweeted a viral thread to lay out exactly what you should do the minute you or someone you know has symptoms
"The first thing to say is that if someone hasCOVID-19 symptoms (Omicron most common: nasal congestion/runny nose, scratchy sore throat, fever, and aches. Sure sounds like a cold to me.), you have to assume they have it. You may not have a test (urgent cares are still open and do) or they may still be negative," said Dr. Prowell. "You, as the person exposed to the one with symptoms, have to assume that you both do and don't have Omicron too. Wait, what? I mean: assume you could infect others now and take care to avoid exposing them, BUT don't assume it's too late for you to avoid getting it." She added: "Especially in households with vaccinated (and boosted) family members(protect the vaccinates at all costs..kek), I have seen people manage to limit Omicron to the first person who was infected. This COVID variant is incredibly contagious, but It CAN be done. Don't give up on the idea!"
“Mask Up and Ventilate. "Shared Air is the Enemy”.
Second put a mask on those who are sick especially old and immunocompromised because thats how you treat the sick & elderly
"If you have N95/KN95/KF94 masks, get in them immediately," said Dr. Prowell. "If you have only one, put the sick person in it for source control. If you have >1 but not enough for all. put the sick one and the highest risk (older, immunocompromised) people in them. Then get outside, and leave the door open." She added: "Fresh air is a friend and shared air is an enemy. The more you can ventilate your house, now and until this is over, the better….
"Filter That Omicron"
third spend money on expensive filters that wont do anything
"Plan to bundle up if you're in a cold climate, because you're going to need to leave windows and doors open enough for air exchange, especially for the next five days or so, and a cross draft. If you have a fresh HVAC filter, change it. If a hardware place is open, get a MERV13 HVAC filter. (Amazon has too.)" Added Dr. Prowell: "Run the fan on your thermostat on high. Filter that Omicron virus!"…
What to Do If You Don't Have the Right Masks
Use a completely useless mask that will only deprive those in need of fresh, and expose them to harmful ingredients in cloth masks
"If you don't have any N95/KN95/KN94 masks, please see if a nearby friend or neighbor has unused ones you can have and order them replacements. The nonprofit Project N95 is a great place to get them. Your backup plan for right now is a surgical mask." She added: "A surgical mask (ASTM level 3, 3-ply is best) has good filtration but usually not good fit. There are often gaps.
Create a Space For the Infected Person
Fifth isolate the sick and freeze them to death, but keep all others safe
"Now it's time to create the space where the infected person or people will isolate for 10 days to let Omicron run its course," said Dr. Prowell.
"Pick a room w/ windows to open and its own door if your home allows. Today, put a fan there that can be used to improve air exchange. Put a thermometer, an O2 sat monitor, good masks. Go get a MERV13 filter for your HVAC at Home Depot or Lowe's or online. While here, get the stuff to build a simple, inexpensive, highly-effective Corsi-Rosenthal box." (We found instructions for making one here.)
"If you have a little microwave or a mini fridge or cooler or something, put those in there too, along w/ food/snacks/rehydrating drinks. The goal is to create a space where the ill person can be as self-sufficient as possible to minimize their need to enter the main space."
"Pretend you're going away for a long weekend. Make sure the room has stuff you'd need—basic toiletries, a phone charger, etc. I assure you I am not a prepper….You need to prep."
"Get a few rapid tests online so you can rapidly determine if anyone else is positive. Though vaccines work to reduce risk, especially of severe/fatal COVID-19, Omicron is still far more likely to infect you than any prior COVID variant."…..
