But yeah, if you believe that it’s too early and not enough research on the effectiveness of booster shots vs. new variants then you should fall back to recommendations that have been tested for longer.
* Wear masks in areas with poor air circulation or air recirculation.
* Keep a 10ft distance from others.
* Avoid being around other people when not necessary.
* If you show symptoms or come in contact with someone who tests positive quarantine for two weeks.
* Get vaccinated and/or boosted if you haven’t already.
The CDC has been making fairly optimistic recs for the vaccinated but you can always be more cautious to your comfort level.
Wouldn't that apply to boostered people as well, since they catch and spread Omicron at similar rates?
But then, how realistic is it to quarantine for two weeks if almost everyone was in contact with someone who tested positive?
And for added difficulty: the rapid tests have really high false-negative rates for Omicron. I had 6 negative RTs (two manufacturers) after symptoms before my positive PCR test.
But we don't know for how long. And what is strange is that unvaxxed are doing better than double vaxxed.
So what will happen once the booster effects wane? Will it be better or worse than unvaxxed?
