Notice also that there is no warning about the severity of the illness that omicron brings. Unspoken assumption is that any variant is worse than the OEM factory-new COVID. Its bad salesmanship to point out that accounts from Africa indicate a less severe illness.

Believers gonna believe. I see atheists and agnostics in a different light now...

The Omicron seems to attack the sinuses and upper respiratory, not the lungs as the 'classic' strains do.
Acts like another coronavirus series that causes the common cold (which is also resistant to vaccines, unexpectedly®)

If it's primarily nasal, take cetirizine or loratadine oral (OTC) and use triamcinolone (Nasacort) spray.
Will I be banned for this? Not here, of course, but if the claims that it is all watched are true, I'm on the list.

They've entered a new phase of incoherence. So now they're lying about the virulence AND standing good mepidemiological practice on its head: quash the mild strain so that it can't win out over the truly lethal strains and give us natural immunity.

^ It's over. They are like the guy in the old western who is dying from his gunshot wound but doesn't believe it.

I really believe the most vi(r)ulent covidian here has gone to ground because he saw the writing on the wall. I disagreed with him, but always knew he was a very smart guy.

Consider this article published By UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA HEALTH DECEMBER 12, 2021
as my Holiday present to All Rantburg Readers
I am a former UCC Minister, had to give it up because of my Tourette's
(I was giving a sermon - Sudden Onset - *&$@#%&& -👀 Yeah, got the parishioners attention - after the sermon, the oldest and longest member of the Congregation, an 89 yo Lady, came up to me and said, "Reverend, The Congregation had to hear that, I know it woke them up, made them think, It it was the best Sermon I've heard in over 80 years, and you put real emphasis into every word you spoke, I'll never forget it"
- Unfortunately, the Board of Trustees didn't feel the same as she, I was "demoted" to The In-home Ministry for the Sick and Dying.
- Well, you can image how I helped some of the dying to transition into the afterlife of God's Hands 👐

#12, if I were in med school, I'd play the game. Some will be droids when they come out, others will be very shrewd individuals.

Its the India variant which will kill us all!
Dude, sounds a bit racist.
I meant....Delta, like, Ganges Delta, but...the old alphabet delta.
You mean Greek Alphabet?
Yeah sure. (looks up the phonetic spellings). Look, some scary sounding variants, it'l be like Name That Hurricane stuff. New Variant..boogah boogah!
You see what comes after, uhem, Nu, right?
Xi? Why? Wait, oh...well, we will just skip that one, nobody will notice.
Not how it works. Literally everyone who has been in or around a college is at least familiar with Greek letters...do you not remember all your Fraternity hit pieces?
What does that have to do with Greek letters....oh, that's the Delta Delta Delta joke.
Unbelievable. What happens at pi? Everyone loves pie. We had to skip the zeta for the obvious people wanting to catch the Zeta-Jones hubba hubba jokes. Are you eating your pencil?
"So, we skip over xi?
"Uighur, please. No, a crisis is something to seize!"
"Ohhh. We feed 'em hànzì..."
"And in decade or three..."
"Hypochondriacs speaking Chinese!"
[DAILYCALLER] California Democrats are toughening their stance on crime amid increasing violence and homicides, with many politicians pledging to invest in law enforcement.
In Los Angeles, city councilmembers have begun redirecting funds from their districts to pay for police overtime in a bid to quell the rising crime.
Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf sent a letter Tuesday to Gov. Gavin Newsom requesting he fund an initiative by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) to use license plate readers and technology that captures a vehicle’s description to catch criminals fleeing Oakland with stolen merchandise, as well as use the state’s retail theft unit to combat the city’s rising larcenies.
San Francisco Mayor London Breed pledged to significantly boost the police presence in the high-crime Tenderloin neighborhood, calling for increased funding for police overtime and efforts to crack down on drug dealing in the area.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Thursday defended the heavy police presence outside her Logan Square home, at a time when police officers are stretched to the limit
[Breitbart] President Joe Biden’s administration is flying illegal aliens, previously deported by former President Donald Trump’s administration, back to the United States.
This week, National Public Radio (NPR) reported that two previously deported illegal aliens, Claudio Rojas of Argentina and Jean Montrevil of Haiti, have since been brought back to the U.S. after they claimed that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency retaliated against them for their open borders advocacy.
Before his 2019 deportation, Rojas had lived as an illegal alien for 19 years while Montrevil was deported in 2018 following more than a decade in the U.S.
Attorneys for the illegal aliens are now demanding that both be given amnesty as reparations for being deported from the U.S. by the Trump administration.
NPR reports:
Claudio Rojas was deported to Argentina in 2019 at exactly the same time that a film about his activism for undocumented immigrants was premiering in theaters. Rojas knew it was going to be an uphill fight to come back. [Emphasis added]
...
Jean Montrevil is an immigrant rights advocate in New York. He was deported, too, in 2018 to Haiti. Montrevil, too, was allowed back into the U.S. under the Biden administration. He landed at JFK Airport in New York in October. [Emphasis added]
