Patti continues to teach the children."

I have heard several people over the last week talk about some sort of stomach virus that appeared to be unrelated to COVID.

Lindsay tweeted she tested negative but has all the omicron symptoms which is like a bad head cold so she's been out. It's horrible. I couldn't breathe for 3 days then all of a sudden I was fine...without meds.

I know it's a radical thought, but since she tested negative, maybe she has a head cold. It IS flu and cold season. Covid isn't responsible for every malady under the sun, as the problems in the Company company prove - everyone just assumed it was Covid - and it wasn't.

Yeah. I read that last week. How did we go from being the lowest infected rate in NYC to the highest??"

Part of it is testing bias. Higher socioeconomic areas get tested more often during surges because for multiple reasons (better access to testing being a major one). There are high rates across the whole city but they’re being detected in high SES areas areas more. This is different from low periods of infection because high SES areas also have better access to preventative measures, which is partly why HK had one of the lowest rates citywide earlier. 
 

That’s part of it. Another part is ongoing partying in small, indoor, sweaty venues. 

Who said Patti is under the weather?  Weren't her missed performances a couple weeks ago?

Anyone know who’s expected to be on for today’s WICKED matinee?

It was literally her tweet. People are testing negative at first signs of symptoms but then test positive 2 days later. 

It looks like Dear Evan Hansen is going on as scheduled... they have a two-show day today. Talia S. Robinson is on for Alana Beck both shows.

Does anyone know, since people who have recovered from Covid can still test positive weeks later, what is the protocol for people who return from their isolation? Do they still get tested and if so does a positive test still mean they can't perform?

I work on Covid at my local public health department. Yes, someone can still test positive weeks (or even months) after their initial infection. It has to do with the tests still picking up "debris" from the Covid infection, even after the initial infection has been dealt with (I don't know all the science, but that's the gist).

According to the CDC, people can leave Isolation 10 days after either 1) symptom onset or 2) a positive test (for those who never had symptoms), assuming they've been fever free for at least 24 hours and symptoms are getting better.

In my county here in California, we really discourage negative testing for returning to work. It puts a strain on testing resources, and can force people out of work for much longer than needed. I don't know what Equity or individual theaters are following - despite the above CDC guidance, I occasionally hear of employers who insist on getting a negative test, which is truly a pain in the neck for everyone involved.
