Scientists now fear that the COVID-19 subvariants of the COmicron omicron could be the most contagious disease in human history.
You are likely to know someone who has.
Experts agree that powering through illness is not always the best strategy. But that isn’t stopping some people from working from home while battling the illness.
“I wanted to make sure that my company knew that I was all in and that I wanted to work as hard as I possibly could,”Joey Rachwal is a marketing analyst.
Rayne DeBlasio was also armed with painkillers, a bottle water, an inhaler, a thermometer and other supplies to power through COVID-19. “When you have Covid, but you’re still a workaholic,”She wrote about TikTok.
Steven Fabian, Inside Edition’s correspondent, also tries to work from home while he recovers from the virus.
Some doctors believe that working through it could send the wrong message.
“If you have a sore throat and a runny nose, if you don’t rest, there’s a chance, like the CDC is saying, that you may wake up the next day if you push it that day and feel much worse,”Dr. Eric Cioee-Pena stated.
The latest omicron variant, BA.5, has some experts calling it the worst version of the virus that we’ve seen, because it evades antibodies from vaccines and previous infections.
Coie Pena advises that you should not attempt to overcome symptoms. Rest is the most important thing.
