Or the morgue.

Very true…. So how are the morgues looking from Omicron? Honest question… I understand while less virulent it’s massively more contagious… but if the absolute numbers out of the morgues (in a few weeks) are less than during Delta I don’t see the reason for the additional layers of multiphasic panic, more like we should be thanking our lucky stars.

According to the CDC, the symptoms of omicron are- Runny nose, headache, fatigue etc. In other words, we need to be very afraid and burn the constitution immediately.

So after a year and a half of maskless living, I finally last week picked up the ‘vid.
It’s been virtually identical to the winter cold I get every year, except is seemingly holding on a few days longer.
Interestingly enough, out of my family of four, I’m the only one with anything to speak of, and I’m the only one vaxxed. My wife tested negative, even after being around the same gang I picked it up, and of course being around me the last two weeks.
So it’s pandemic leave pay for me at the moment.
But I’ll say if this is what they’re shutting the world down for, it’s nuts.

70% of Covid patients hospitalized in San Francisco are there for other reasons other than Covid. One doctor said she hasn’t intubated a single patient during the omicron surge. So yes, let’s keep the panic porn turned up to eleventy just because.

It depends what data you believe and where you get your information. Apparently some people think there are 100,000 kids seriously ill, some intubated. All credible sources of information say this number is no where close to reality but still there are people out there (some of these people work in very high positions in our government) that believe this number.

IIRC the CDC director said the numebr was 3500, in direct contradiction to the VP?

Did the VP as well as SCOTUS judge screw that number up?

exact same situation at my place. Everyone who was vaccinated and boosted got it. I was the only one not vaccinated and I didnt get it. In fact i only know of vaccinated people who have gotten it.
no way it was lifestyle choices in my house since we all shared the same air and one of them sleeps next to me at night amongst other things.

Pretty much like me and many others have been saying for over 24 months now.

So you can take your morgue comment, and well. I'll leave it at that

Your brief time in the sun is over.

the narrative has collapsed as we have predicted all along

Hide if you want. Or come out and join us

It's the only way we turn the corner and move forward
