My Take: By Gordon Lambie

Does anyone else feel nervous any time there’s a tickle in your nose these days? With the way things have been going for the last six months it feels easy, sometimes, to forget that there’s more than just “the virus” floating around out there.
Someday soon, parents across the country whose children have gone back to school will be faced with a new set of questions: is this a regular fever, or a Covid fever? Is that tummy ache just nerves? How concerned should I be that my kid just sneezed right into my mouth?
All of the regular seasonal illnesses are still out there. They will be making the rounds soon leaving people wondering; Covid or cold?
Now is not the time to let those doubts linger. Use the free tools and tests that have been made widely available and find out for sure.
