She shared three photos, one showing two positive test results, one cuddling with her dog and a solo shot of her French bulldog Deco.

‘Okay, it happened. Got COVID, maybe Omicron. As of today I am thankfully cured and wrapping up the quarantine but COVID was no joke,’ she began the long caption on Saturday.

The AOC claimed that Omicron is not mild, despite the fact that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently reported that the strain is not as dangerous as the previous Delta variant.

‘For a while I have noticed that the word “mild” is misleading when the bar is hospitalization and death. Even “mild” cases can result in prolonged COVID, including several conditions such as cognitive impairment, POTS and chronic fatigue,’ the AOC said of the edition.

The news of AOC’s positive COVID test result came just a week after he was seen partying without a mask at a Miami drag brunch on January 2.

The 32-year-old Bronx representative made the announcement on his official Twitter page on January 9, sharing a statement on the House of Representatives-led paper, saying: ‘Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has received a positive test result for COVID-19 .

‘She is experiencing symptoms and is recovering at home. Congresswoman got her booster shot this fall, and encourages everyone to get their booster and follow all CDC guidance.’

The AOC then added some of its guidance in a follow-up tweet, which read: ‘For information on what to do if you have been exposed to COVID, test positive or would like to schedule a test or vaccine in New York City – See our round-up of CDC and NYC resources here,’ before adding a link to a personal website.

However, clinical reports indicate that patients with Omicron perform far better than those with other variants, while research shows that Omicron does not target tissues associated with poor disease outcomes, which That’s an encouraging prospect. Scientist,

Omicron has proven that the incubation period is also short – defined as the time between becoming infected and symptom onset – of just two to four days.

Meanwhile, hospitalization and death rates for vaccinated people are much lower than for all other COVID-19 variants, the CDC reported earlier this month.

The liberal politician said that since contracting the virus, he has learned how ‘sociopathic’ it is to get people back to work just five days after they have been quarantined for COVID.

‘The idea of ​​forcing people to work just five days after symptoms start is sociopathic and is 100 percent informed by a culture that accepts the sacrifice of human lives for profit margins as a fair trade. The good news is we have an antidote: community.’

On January 4, the CDC reduced the recommended time for isolation for the public from 10-20 days to just five days when quarantining for the coronavirus.

According to the CDC, the reasons for the shortened isolation period are threefold.

Infectivity with Omicron decreases approximately one day before symptom onset and within one week of symptom onset, with average duration of infection and risk of transmission between two to three days before and eight days after symptom onset Is.

The data, which includes a review of 113 studies from 17 different countries, shows that for most COVID-19 strains – Omicron included – transmission occurs early in the course of infection, requiring less time for isolation.

The CDC said these updated quarantine recommendations are for “meeting individual social and wellbeing needs, return to work, and maintenance of critical infrastructure,” according to the agency. Website,

While a five-day quarantine period was created last week to focus on the period when a person is most contagious, the CDC recommends continuing to mask for an additional five days after isolation.

AOC’s lengthy Instagram post after testing positive for COVID

‘Okay, it happened. Got COVID, maybe Omicron. To this day I am thankfully cured and wrapping up the quarantine, but COVID was no joke. For a while I’ve noticed that the word “mild” is misleading when the bar is hospitalization and death. Even “mild” cases can result in long-term COVID, including several conditions such as cognitive impairment, POTS, and chronic fatigue. It’s not meant to belittle or create fear, just a reminder that we need to be careful (N95s in crowded indoor places like stores) and if you get it, it’s yours and REST’s care is the key to doing. The idea of ​​forcing people to work just 5 days after symptoms start is sociopathic and 100% informed by a culture that accepts sacrificing human life for a profit margin as a fair trade . The good news is we have an antidote: community.

If you’ve noticed, much of the emphasis of media conversations on COVID is individualistic: wear a mask, *get vaccinated to protect yourself,* go back to work, even w/ symptoms bc *you*” OK” (even if you’re not). And while some of these recommendations are good—like getting vaccinated + wearing a mask where appropriate, the motivation for them shouldn’t just be selfish. It should also bc because we really give a damn about other people – our disabled neighbors, our coworkers who haven’t said it (and shouldn’t feel obligated to say) are immune, etc.

It’s really bizarre to me that giving about other people as s*** is a polarizing political stance, but my dad used to say that life repeats you lessons as long as you learn them. And if there’s one lesson that I think we’re going to be repeating as a country for as long as we learn, it’s that community and collective good are our best shot at getting through our biggest challenges —” There is much more than perverted acts of “rugged individualism” and bootstrapped propaganda spoon-fed from birth.

Individualism insufficient for planetary forces such as climate change or global pandemics is no less than social ones such as healthcare, economic inequality and racism. But we can face them collectively. In the world of ME, let’s team up. Anyway that’s enough for today, stay healthy and blessed and keep building. ,

love and togetherness, aoc’
