Well folks, it's going around. Everywhere I go and so many people I talk to are getting sick. I did a little research and I suggest you do your own as I'm only known as Dr. Mom to those without the power to give me the title in any official capacity. Here's what I've learned:
Days contagious with the FLU = 5-7
Days contagious with COVID = 5-10
Days with RSV = 3-8
Days with STREP 24-48 (with antibiotics) and 2-3 weeks (without antibiotics)
I know it's hard to stay home when there's work, school, family obligations, etc... but the truth is, each day we encounter someone who has an immune system that isn't strong enough to fight off these illnesses. I'm not telling you to vaccinate or not vaccinate, to see the Dr or not see the Dr - I'm simply asking you to take some precautions to help those around you.
May your paths be abundantly filled with lemons, sugar, sunshine, and none of the nasty crud going around!

Today's article is by - Crystal J. Casavant
Crystal Casavant writes. Everything. If you follow her blog you have likely laid eyes on every thought she has ever had. Her debut novel, It Was Never About Me, Was It? is still a work in progress and shall be fully worthy sometime in 2025. She has written for WOW! Women on Writing, Bring on Lemons, and has been featured in several magazines and ezines relating to credit and collections as well as religious collections for confessional Lutherans. She runs a busy household full of intelligent, recalcitrant, and delightful humans who give her breath and keep her heart beating day after day.
Crystal wears many hats (and not just the one in this photo) and fully believes in being in the moment and doing everything she can to improve the lives of those around her! The world may never know her name, but she prays that because of her, someone may smile a little brighter. She prides herself on doing nice things - yes, even for strangers!
May your paths be abundantly filled with lemons, sugar, sunshine, and may you always remember the world is a better place with you in it!
