At Tamalpais Pediatrics, it's an understatement to say that doctors have been busy. They're seeing waves of patients come in with myriad viral illnesses.
"It came in with a runny nose then, all of a sudden the next morning, she was throwing up and had diarrhea really bad. Then it just was a rolling effect with all of them," Cherith Buck said."We, typically between the two offices we have in Marin, see 100 to 120 patients a day on a busy day. A few weeks ago, on one Monday, we saw 180 patients and that was repeated for multiple days that week," said Dr. Nelson Branco.
"One of the interesting ways we are learning to keep track of viruses in our community is through waste water monitoring. Testing in the waste water is showing COVID is up 15 to 20 percent from this week to last week," Dr. Branco explained.
Who are these people? What age & pre-existing disease cohort are they in? Are they vaxxed? These are questions you should be asking IF you were actual journalists.
A lot of people in the Bay area are getting a different virus. The creeping crud. Lasts about 2 weeks.
The most vaxed area in California. Hmmmm!
