Two years into the pandemic, the Omicron variant serves as a sobering reminder of the persistent dangers posed by COVID-19. We face long lines for tests. Even more of our friends and family are testing positive. And those we serve—disproportionately people of color—face the greatest harm and uncertainty.
In our clinics, nearly 30% of clients tested positive in last two weeks of December, exceeding the State’s 25% positivity rate at the time. And while COVID testing numbers here declined in the first two weeks of January, the infection rate remains painfully consistent, as 1 in 3 clients test positive for the virus.
Behavioral health therapists like Deirdre Hoey are spending more time talking to clients about how to handle the increased risk of COVID in their everyday activities and, as she says, “differentiating between things they can control and things beyond their control.” A helpful distinction for us all.
Deirdre says, “Positive human connection remains the most important part of my work, regardless of however COVID changes the workflow of any given day.”
