re: Anecdotal there seems to be a lot more illness going around.

COVID- people get out of work if it’s positive, and companies don’t understand that every other cold is just as contagious and, lately, just as deadly. So I do still test for it when patients ask, and it’s been around quite a bit lately.

I think this is because companies are still being strong armed to comply; even if it's implied pressure. Last thing we would want to do is allow a COVID+ person to keep coming to work, have an outbreak, then deal with the negative repercussions. But, it's just the Flu or one of the thousand of other things, F* it, keep going and let everyone get it out of their system

The latest thing going around summer camps is a stomach flu (at least that's what's its being called) - fever, liquid shits, vomiting all lasting ~24 hours & contagious for 3 days (making kids stay home at first sign of symptoms, then can't come back until 2 days symptom free)
