SA pricing it's not

Now we just need the garlic perinaise and the braai periperi sauce!

I'd assume it's referring to mass Beta variant infections.

How was SA different in that regard?

SA all had it but didn't export that version.
It's like the Wedgewood Nougat of COVID variants.

Sorry to bring back on topic...
For anyone interested in what (I find at least) to be an unusually balanced article about Omicron and its potential effects-

Refreshing to read something by someone without an apparent agenda, and not making absolute statements as much as putting forth the various plausible scenarios.

The issues are mostly from political journalists. Once you read the science journalists they are much more fact based. @biobook

Lakewood's a mess right now too. Especially now with the flu going around you want someone who can do both.

Here in Lakewood there are a whole bunch of women who do from home or come to you

Called/visited a bunch of the urgent cares and doctors and everywhere is hours wait, and tried getting some of the home-testers to no avail. Can we put together info of where it's relatively easy to test right now? And if they offer tests for flu/COVID/strep, rapid and overnight.

Yup, DW has Covid round 2 (plus vaxxed), and I think I got it now round 2, too (also vaxxed), BH no major symptoms now, though, last week was worse with the flu (or whatever it was, wasn't going to wait hours in line with other sick people). A whole bunch of neighbors have either flu or Covid, plus half my daughter's class was out with flu.

1. I can't answer for people going to urgent care. Maybe they don't know about these people. There were a number of times that there were long lines at urgent care and we went to one of these women and it was very quick. We did this for my son going to Yeshiva in Israel, for people going to Canada etc.

2. These women are more for PCR sent to a lab and may not give flu tests that are rapid.

3. They can't give prescriptions of someone wants Tamiflu

Hearing that all local Urgent Cares are not seeing any more patients today.

[aygart]

BTW, some urgent cares have a separate queue for asymptomatic COVID tests such as for travel or work. They will sometimes take those even when they are booked for the day. With symptoms they will require a PA to consider it a visit but for just the test an assistant can do the whole thing.
