Fun fact - both I and our PD Dr. Hiserote share a bday! And it almost *always* falls during #AAFPNC. This year, we sent amazing faculty and residents to share the #FMRevolution love with everyone so we could spend time with our families…
@stayatfoammom You know you’ve made a good show rec when it leads to a horde of angry friends blaming you for all the lost sleep and procrastinated work they’ve incurred. All that is to say, I didn’t get to sleep until after 1am last night and it’s all your fault! (Sooooo good!)

FYI:
Symptoms are NOT required to be infectious
Symptom-free spread is MAJOR contributor to spread in this pandemic
High virus load (rapid Test Pos) is good indicator of infectivity
If you or your child no Longer has symptoms but Still Pos on rapid test -> Assume Infectious
