My son's now 5d since symptoms. He's better (now mild sore throat, no fever). Binax is below. I study this for a living & am confused by CDC recs. Work (with mask) would've been OK if we didn't test, but since we did, he should stay home 5 more days? Huh? https://t.co/2SiMecGunt

This has been a long chapter of my life. I am happy that justice has been served and that this saga is finally in my rearview mirror. Proud of the impact that Erika and I had. Hope to inspire other young professionals to hold their leaders accountable.

With Omicron, there's been the emergence of 2 different camps with opposite perspectives. I've tried to summarize them here

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

The rapidity with which Omicron is taking hold in Europe
"In Norway, health authorities warned that if no countermeasures were taken Omicron could infect up to 300,000 people a day compared with the previous peak of about 1,000 cases."

@wsbgnl @EricTopol Hospital rates remain low, except for the US. This is the indicator we should be looking at, not daily cases.
