This is a picture I took while sitting at the Belfast City airport 6 hours early because the 24 hour PCR test I took was lost by the lab and I had to get to the airport early to pay for another test - this time a rapid antigen. There are no customer service agents around until 2 hours before your flight while several people sit around waiting for their COVID test results.I was struck by the UK’s expediency in getting free tests to people. Little did I know that I would come home to CT and find people indifferent to Omicron - no mask mandate - and no tests to be found!

Responded to texts from 2 friends regarding health of their child and wife, respectively. Commented to my husband about how nice it felt to "be a doctor again". This pandemic has stripped me from my usual experience at work as an inpatient hospital pediatrician and, in turn, the joy and fulfillment I usually receive from my job.
