Bijna Carnaval ! Nee hoor, ik droeg deze vermomming gewoon omdat ik er niet uitzag vanmorgen.
Ontbijt, en later lunch en diner. Hield me op de been vandaag.
Valentijnsdag en ik kreeg alleen maar post van mijn pensioenfonds.
Mezelf toch maar even een beetje opknappen. Krul in het haar.
Ik hoopte dat m’n kapsel hierdoor de hele dag mooi zou blijven.
Mooie krul hoor.
Toch maar een broodje. Een hele donkere met kaas.
Mijn krul een paar uur later. Wat doe ik fout ? Er zat ook een heleboel haarlak in.
Dan maar nieuwe nagellak, blijft vast langer zitten.
Dit spul zorgt ervoor dat de lak binnen een paar minuten droog is.
Zelfs Google vierde Valentijn.
Hup hup, gas erop. Naar Steenwijk.
Voor de kick off van de beklimming van de Mont Ventoux. Die is pas in september maar vanavond konden deelnemers alvast kennismaken met elkaar en mochten de goede doelen zich presenteren.
En dat deed ik dus. Veel en leuke mensen gesproken en mooie verhalen gehoord. Ik wil die berg ook op.
Tom van ‘t Hek als spreekstalmeester.
En ik zag mezelf op een foto met een cheque in m’n hand. Foto is van vorig jaar, vanavond kreeg ik een bitterbal want de berg moet nog beklommen worden en dus volgen de cheques later.
Nog even borrelen en praten.
En weer naar huis.
Thuis. Vooruit, nog eentje dan. Welterusten !
Dr. Leana Wen: There are several potentialities. First,
Covid-19 usually presents like other viral illnesses.
Widespread signs embody a fever, cough, runny nose, headache or body aches, a sore throat and diarrhea.
These are forms of signs additionally seen with other viral illnesses,
together with influenza and adenovirus. It’s attainable you will have signs you are figuring out
as evidence of a Covid-19 infection that are literally
due to a different virus. It is potential to get a false adverse with dwelling antigen exams, which are less
accurate than PCR assessments, Wen stated. Second, you may
be testing too quickly after being contaminated with Covid; there might not be enough virus
current to set off a positive end result. Usually,
it takes a minimum of two days after publicity to develop signs and/or to
have a constructive result. Many instances, though,
there is not sufficient virus to set off a optimistic test until not less
than 5 days after publicity. Because of this repeated testing
is important, especially if you are taking
dwelling fast antigen assessments. Third, the test could also be a false adverse.
Home antigen checks are much less correct than PCR assessments.
In case you have a excessive chance of contracting Covid-19
– for example, in case you were uncovered to somebody who had the coronavirus and now you’ve symptoms,
however you’re still testing unfavourable from a house take a look at –
you could want to get a PCR check. CNN: If someone have been uncovered to another one who has Covid-19,
when ought to they get examined, and with what check?
Wen: For those who had been exposed to somebody with
Covid-19, it is best to wait until it has been at the very least 5 days after exposure to get
tested, according to the CDC. Both an antigen check or a PCR test could possibly be used at this point.
But as a result of it’s nonetheless possible to develop symptoms after 5 days, the CDC recommends you wear
a mask when in public indoor places for a total
of 10 days. You should also monitor your signs; if you develop any, even after five days following a
potential exposure, it’s best to get tested once more. CNN: What
if you have had direct publicity – for instance, from
a partner who has Covid-19 – and have symptoms, but
still get a destructive take a look at after five days? Wen: In the event you
took a speedy antigen check, I would advocate taking another one the next day.
It’s possible your viral load was not excessive enough the
first time round. This can be the steerage instructed by the U.S.
If the repeat check continues to be adverse, and it is essential for you to seek out out whether
or not you could have Covid-19, you might go take a PCR test.
The PCR take a look at is more accurate, though the caveat is
that it picks up viral remnants. Which means if it is positive, it
may imply you not too long ago recovered from Covid-19.
If all these assessments are damaging, one other risk is that
you’ve a different viral sickness, and should nonetheless continue to wear a mask in public
till 10 days after your exposure. Also, be careful around
weak people while you are symptomatic, even when it’s not from
Covid-19. You probably have a visit to a nursing dwelling deliberate to go to your elderly aunt, for
example, or you’re planning to host dinner with an immunocompromised
visitor, it’s best to postpone until your signs are
gone and your 10-day quarantine interval has accomplished.
CNN: If your Covid-19 take a look at is unfavorable, do you have to get examined
for different viruses? Wen: It depends. If you are a generally wholesome person and have mild symptoms,
testing might be not required. It’s best to use symptomatic management, that means
to drink lots of fluids, rest and take over-the-counter analgesics like acetaminophen or ibuprofen as
wanted. You probably have underlying medical situations, you is perhaps significantly concerned about influenza.
There are antiviral treatments available, and
you should consider speaking along with your doctor about flu testing and in case you are eligible
for them. Some physicians’ practices are now routinely testing for Covid-19, influenza and
respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). When in doubt, communicate together with your
doctor. And ensure to name your physician should you develop worsening or particularly regarding
symptoms, such as shortness of breath, chest pain or an inability to keep down fluids.
CNN: How can somebody find out in the event that they’ve already
had Covid-19? Wen: There’s an antibody blood test to the SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid accessible from commercial laboratories like Quest Diagnostics and Labcorp.
This specifically appears to be like for prior infection. If it comes back constructive, it means
that you had Covid-19 sooner or later. It doesn’t tell you when. So if you
need to seek out out if a selected bout of recent symptoms was from the coronavirus, this check
would not assist. And remember, having had Covid-19 in the past
doesn’t mean that you cannot get sick from it once more.
