The treatment is the same as for pretty much any URI at this point, rest, fluids, Night Nurse/Nyquil, Tylenol. Though Omicron is still to be respected, the potential to be put in hospital is there for pneumonia, severe bronchial infections, &c.
On my darker days I have no sympathy for not spreading it. These selfish slimebags had me to wait to get a heart procedure done for two months because they and their "freedoms" were more important. After finally getting in, it turned out I should have had a lovely heart attack and its a bit of a mystery why I didn't. The lack of social responsibility of Americans is staggering, well demonstrated over the last two years. To hell with them.
Luckily, those are only my darker days. The reality is when I might get a URI of any sort, I don't go out in public anyway and I segregate myself from those in the house (who are fully vax'd and boosted). Its the only way to break the cycle; that goes for any virus.
Since the treatment really is the same as for any URI unless it goes pearshaped like any other URI, a test really is pointless now; I don't need to know the name the affliction to tell me to avoid others or not; it will be done. Its just a matter of respect to attempt not passing any contagion on, no matter a cold, pneumonia, covid, whatever.
