Just an interesting observation. Seems to be some sort of cold/ virus going around Lakewood. I know of at least 2 or 3 families where just about the whole family came down with colds, sore throats, congestion etc. over the last few days.
Doesn’t seems to be particularly covid type symptoms and the kids are getting it just like the adults so I’m guessing it’s just the kids going back to school and daycare and spreading run of the mill colds and viruses again, something we haven’t seen in a few months. Sure is going to drive the camps crazy when they open this Monday though.
Dr. Shanik says he’s seen an explosion in regular infections like strep recently. He is partially attributing it to people who’ve not been exposed to any healthy or harmful viruses or bacteria at all for a while (thus decreasing the strength of their immune systems) suddenly being super exposed to many infections at once.
Personally I’ve been nursing a fairly high grade fever (104 for a little bit, down to 101-102 with lots of Tylenol) for a few days. Negative on a rapid for COVID Friday but I’m going to try and get tested again today. Yes, I’ve been seen by a doctor
