Did Bob Watcher Son Catch Covid?
Bob Watcher’s son was tested positive for Covid-19 in his second test. Bob Watcher’s posts on Twitter get engrossed by over 300 million people, and his Twitter account is the source of trusted social media regarding the Covid 19 pandemic.
His son is reported to have a great time watching movies with his friend at home, but the friend later tested positive, and his son started developing symptoms too.
His son was tested negative in his first test, but his symptoms began to get worse, so he went for the second test and was tested positive. His son was isolated for five days.
Since his son was affected, he was worried and was not as calm as he used to be before. The tenacious physician started to freak out a little when his son was tested positive.
The kid is now fully vaccinated and boosted to have an average recovery soon.
My son’s now 5d since symptoms. He’s better (now mild sore throat, no fever). Binax is below. I study this for a living & am confused by CDC recs. Work (with mask) would’ve been OK if we didn’t test, but since we did, he should stay home 5 more days? Huh? https://t.co/2SiMecGunt pic.twitter.com/ojtuhRZKCe
