You never catch one strain… You catch ALL of them
Last week, City Cast Houston's Senior Producer Dina Kesbeh came down with what she believed was the flu. Fully vaccinated, always conscientious of avoiding the virus, she was surprised to hear that this "flu" was actually COVID -19. She is thankfully on the mend, but the questions remain: Should she disinfect everything in the house? Particularly her toothbrush? Is it Omicron? And most importantly, how long should she quarantine? Heralded virologist Dr. Ben Nueman of Texas A&M University-Texarcana - who has studied coronaviruses since 1996 - stops by to answer all of her questions … plus some.
You can ask Dr. Neuman a question yourself! Find him on his Facebook group - "Ask Dr. Ben Neuman"
