Dr. De Alba is an assistant professor in the UNMC Department of Family Medicine and College of Medicine.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a continuing look at their insights.<\/p>\n<p><b>Are there treatments for COVID?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Rupp:\u00a0&#8220;Though there are new medications, they are in such desperate short\u00a0supply that they\u00a0for the most part are not going to be available to people to rescue them if they get ill. Some of the monoclonal antibodies that people have heard about that have been developed in the last year or year-and-a-half are not effective against omicron. The virus has shifted, and those monoclonals just don\u2019t interact with the virus any longer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>What symptoms should people be looking for with omicron?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Rupp:\u00a0&#8220;There\u2019s less of the lower respiratory tract symptoms of shortness of breath with more of a multi-inflammatory response,\u00a0sepsis kind of response. We\u2019re seeing less of that, although there are some cases of it. And certainly, the other symptoms of fever, sore throat, headache, nasal congestion, cough \u2014\u00a0all of those we continue to see, maybe a little bit less of the reduced taste and smell.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/O9TZmH1efo4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><b>How can I take care of myself at home with COVID to help manage symptoms?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Dr. De Alba:\u00a0&#8220;Stay hydrated, have good dietary habits. Consuming vegetables and fruit, that will help a lot. Rest and isolating. I know it\u2019s tiring.\u00a0I know it\u2019s challenging to stay at home in four walls, but it\u2019s one of the most effective ways to protect others, particularly those who surround you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Rupp:\u00a0&#8220;I completely agree &#8230;\u00a0try to self-isolate. Not infecting other family members is critical. I would say taking a little bit of acetaminophen \u2014\u00a0otherwise known as Tylenol \u2014\u00a0or Motrin or something like that is perfectly acceptable to help with the aches and pains and the headache and the fever.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you are at high-risk for disease progression \u2014 you\u2019re elderly, you have underlying cardio-respiratory disease, underlying immunosuppressive disorders,\u00a0had an organ transplant, you\u2019re getting cancer chemotherapy\u00a0\u2014\u00a0you really do need to plug in with your medical professional. There are some things we can offer that we\u2019ve already talked about to try to prevent progression of the disease, and we need to keep a close eye on you. Otherwise if you\u2019re healthy, you\u2019re more than likely going to be able to tough this out at home, and we really don\u2019t want you to be coming to the emergency department unless it\u2019s really an emergency.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i>The Facebook Live broadcast is available on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/unmcedu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UNMC&#8217;s Facebook page<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>What are the guidelines for isolating and testing if there\u2019s a case within the home?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Dr. De Alba:\u00a0&#8220;It\u2019s important to have open communication with those with whom you interact. Get to know the vaccination status of those whom you socialize with, so if there is a positive case, there can be contact tracing. If someone experiences symptoms, that person should isolate until it\u2019s shown that they aren\u2019t positive. The recommendation will be to get a test \u2014\u00a0a PCR continues to be the gold standard. But if that isn\u2019t possible, and you know that you were interacting with someone who was positive and diagnosed with COVID-19, and you start to develop symptoms, you should start to follow recommendations for isolation. You should contact your health department if you don\u2019t have access to a clinic or a hospital. Then follow their instructions, because there will be a process for contact tracing, and they will guide you when you can return to normal activities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Rupp:\u00a0&#8220;I wish we had fast, accurate, readily available cheap testing for everybody, but it\u2019s not reality, so I think people are responding to that by sort of picking and choosing when they get tested. I understand that, and again, I would plead with folks that if they are symptomatic to take themselves out of circulation and put themselves into isolation. If they don\u2019t have a diagnosis, it\u2019s probably good to assume they have it, because it\u2019s just so prevalent in the community. And so the best practice is, like Dr. De Alba said, put yourself in isolation for 10 days before you come back out. If you get a PCR test at five days and it\u2019s negative, you can exit isolation, and if you\u2019ve tested positive and you are feeling better and have to go back to work, please do so wearing a mask.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i>See this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/2022\/01\/12\/med-center-virtual-forum-addresses-omicron-variant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">story from UNMC Today<\/a> for earlier coverage of the forum.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>When should I seek medical attention?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Dr. De Alba:\u00a0&#8220;If you see that your symptoms aren\u2019t improving and are getting worse, seek medical attention. Some people have access to oximeters, and they have learned how to use an oximeter. If you have access to an oximeter and check your result and it\u2019s below 90, seek medical attention, because that\u2019s when you actually need to receive other complementary things that we can offer in the hospital. It\u2019s a common question in the community, particularly where some don\u2019t have access to a physician.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>How long are masks good for?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Rupp:\u00a0&#8220;When masks start to get moist, when they get soiled or they start to tear, clearly you want to change out and use a new one.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To read more about masks, see this <a
