[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've noticed here on DCUM lots of new Covid Poz people posting.   I feel like a surge isn't just possible but may actually be here.  Plus, with yesterday's rain people were indoors all day together![/quote]

This week is going to be a doozy. 4-5 days after exposure, people who are gonna be symptomatic are. So after the post-holiday "swapping of the cooties" last week, a lot of people are going to be sick right about now. Not just covid, but there's a highly-infectious strain of covid going around.

Why would it be worse now than 4-5 days after the peak of holiday travel? [/quote]

"So after the post-holiday "swapping of the cooties" last week"

School. People traveled over the holidays, swapped germs, and then went back to work, sending their kids to school. Adults may have a chance of distancing, and hopefully decent hygiene practices. Very few kids practice good hygiene. There's a post-break sickness wave every year (aka "back-to-school crud"). This thread makes it quite clear that a lot of people had no intention of testing, and sent their kids regardless of status, even though many schools sent the kids home for break with tests to try to avoid this (both my MCPS kids came home with covid tests from school). Some people are asymptomatic. Only some people are still masking. Add an incubation window (in my family's recent experience, it was 4-6 days after "patient zero" tested positive for covid), and it's likely to be worse this week than last. [/quote]
