    Post Xmas around here, there is also an enormous demand for tests. Our local high school has a weekly testing clinic that ran out of tests this past Sunday.

    Driving past an urgent care this morning, there was a line outside of 50+ people waiting for tests.

        @axtremus Yeah, I saw that. I'm not in the market myself, but town Facebook groups are filled with people in near-panic because they're can't seem to get a test...either at a clinic or a self-test ready to purchase in a store.

          So what? What difference is a positive or a negative test going to make, other than monoclonal antibody therapy, which supposedly doesn't work well against Omicron?

            In a few weeks a negative test will allow me to get on a cruise ship.

                One version works, Sotrovimab, but it’s in short supply and mostly being reserved for the immunosppressed.

                Only non-witches get due process.

                  It’s a little more complicated due to the Delta wave we were beginning before Omicron, but if the South Africa model holds true, we should see a sharp decline starting soon. Like this week…

                    Though the Delta wave and the geographical realities will mitigate some of that drop, as DC and NY drop, we’ll likely see increases in other areas.

                        Talked to wife's rheumatologist. He's decided not to use it for his immunosuppressed patients.
