As an infectious disease scientist, I couldn't agree more with all these steps. Also the use of radical rest as a thing to do when sick, is something that should be universal. If you are sick, you should get to rest.

3+ years into a pandemic, the general public is still generally confused about what to do when they test positive for COVID19.

So let me walk you through what I, an infectious disease epidemiologist public health nurse, am doing since I tested positive on a rapid antigen today.

Have you been sold the lie that if you work hard enough, put in the hours, and alienate all your family and friends that you too can become a billionaire? If so, ask if Bootlicking®️is right for you.

It’s not a hobby. It’s a lifestyle.™️

@devisridhar Most PhDs aren't the ones with a small stipend income but instead you have to pay for the tuition and bench fee (if anyone knows different I am all ears as I'm about to graduate but cannot find a traditional PhD)

Where have I been since 2020? https://t.co/A6xWrr12Z8

[Lisa Heidinger @Mieliboo]

@hankgreen When they say "the tests are normal" but your symptoms haven't improved ask "what are the next steps?". And lastly, you can always ask for a second opinion.

[Lisa Heidinger @Mieliboo]

@hankgreen If they say "it sounds like anxiety" or any other thing that you don't agree with/ sounds dismissive ask "what differential diagnosis are you looking at that made you reach this conclusion".
