Mother’s Day is normally a celebratory gathering to honor that special woman in our life, our mom and our wife. The Covid 19 pandemic can unfortunately interject mayhem into this otherwise joyful event.

What happens when, on the Tuesday following Mother’s Day, one of the adult children reports to the larger group that I have been diagnosed with Covid? First off, terror and then anger sets in. Next everyone, whether vaccinated or unvaccinated, hurriedly scrambles to contact their overwhelmed doctor. The Doctor responses, “first do not come to my office, but get yourselves tested. But you must wait four or more days for the test”. So besides being challenged in finding and scheduling tests, in the interim you deal with that uncertainty of knowing “do I have Covid or not?”.

But what if you are vaccinated and have been using SoundPass Plus regularly before Mother’s Day? You too contact your Doctor to report the exposure to Covid. But like before, you continue your daily routine of authenticating your cough against a previously healthy baseline. So once or even multiple times a day, you use SoundPass Plus to see if there has been a change to your respiratory system. Authenticating against that earlier established baseline lessens personal worry and indicates that there is not currently a requirement to seek a Covid test. After testing for five days after the Covid reporting , the Doctor is again contacted with the SoundPass results. Based upon that, he gives you assurances that you probably do not have Covid, even if you are asymptomatic.

I had to spend a few weeks away from home because my family was passing the COVID variant amongst each other during quarantine. The week we thought everyone would check out ok (as no one showed or felt any symptoms) my middle son tested "positve" for OMNICRON. SOUNDPASS was able to detect problems with my son even though he felt fine and had no signs of being ill.

I'm living in Peru for work and even though I have taken 3 doses of the vaccine, I still have concerns when I see how everyone here takes all of the safety precautions so seriously (you can't enter the grocery store without a K95 grade mask and presenting proof of vaccination).

My office uses SOUNDPASS to monitor everyone's AUTHENTICATION status (COVID or ANYTHING else contagious) at 8am max to confirm access to the building. I feel so much more safe knowing that everyone I work around is not suffering from anything that could put me at risk.

Great system!
