Masking
Students will continue to be required to wear masks in classrooms, Duke buses and vans, and in all clinical settings.
The University’s masking approach will depend on Durham County’s CDC community level category, according to the email. Currently, Durham County is at the “high” level of community risk.
Masking will no longer be required in classrooms when the community risk is reduced to “medium” or “low” for two consecutive weeks.
All unvaccinated individuals are still required to wear masks indoors.
I read it originally as Durham Public Schools being included but maybe it's just Duke
Don't see anything there about Durham County Schools. Good reading comprehension BIFF
Well, they were probably the last county in the state to drop the masks so they'll probably be the first to put them back on.
Yes. Not perfect, of course, but positive rapid tests roughly correlate with being contagious, and it's true across variants at least through omicron. Theoretically if a new variants starts transmitting at much lower viral loads, the relationship may stop holding true, but I don't think there is any evidence of that yet.
Potential good news in realizing what is causing long covid. Not yet peer reviewed but sounds promising.

I think viral reservoir in the gut is correct. When I started targeting gut health with prebiotics and probiotics my symptoms significantly improved. I also had a significant regression when I stopped taking them after thinking my issues were resolved.
