Omicron has passed in SA with NO major spike in deaths. Also, USA 14-day average for deaths is down by 7%.
Happy New Year folks!

And for what it's worth, comparing this year to last year is entirely pointless, so don't bother.

Crime is down, historically.
Or do we want to go back in time to the Giuliani days?

Believe it or not, I'm not a *it's just a flu* person. The only point of this limited and specific thread is that the dreaded omicron variant is a red herring, trumped up by doom-porn peddling news outlets. Now that the CDC has downgraded their *estimate of the Omicron percentage AND shortened asymptomatic to five days, I'm sure cases and deaths will skyrockets right past the James Webb telescope. (Note my withering sarcasm).. long story short? Stay vigilant, get a booster, and live life!

South Africa leading the way yet again.Eanwhile chaos amd terror reign here in the United States of Dumb. NYC Tough! ...not
fear and overreaction has always been the American way. except when it comes to guns, which are soon to be inserted into the womb during pregnancy to guarantee infants can develop skills before heading off to day care.
Ha! Never too early for trigger discipline.

Facebook transparency? HAHAHAHA!!! I just spit out my egg nog. I don't seem to find reddit being talked about much with regard to anti-vaxing, capitol rioting, voter frauding, and outright complete disinformation. Reddit should be fine. It would be a tiny neighborhood forum on a moderated site that doesn't relentlessly data-mine its users.. not a toxic echo chamber of conservative memes and racist tropes on a site created by a sociopath.

« on: December 24, 2021, 02:15:12 PM »Covid surge = greater need for closing the street. C'mon Omicron! Prove the NYT and the WaPo right and the South American researchers wrong! We can do it!
more importantly, we need to close every business in NYC immediately. we know all the variants spread more quickly indoors, so we must stop people from being in contact with strangers. as you are a scientist, i am sure you agree.
Nope in actual fact I think people are being hysterical about what this surge means and that cases will soon plateau, hospitalizations will not approach anything near their previous highs (as has already been demonstrated in London and elsewhere) and after the holidays things will calm down again. And this site won't be around for me to gloat about it!

Funny, I was just about to link to the NYT today:
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/12/22/world/omicron-covid-vaccine-tests/new-cases-slow-in-south-africa-suggesting-its-omicron-wave-may-have-peaked
Gotta love the NYT.. always a week or two behind the actual facts. Cases and hospitalizations been dropping like a stone for like.. a week? in South Africa. Literally plunging. Pfizer covid pill just got FDA approval. We're seeing a completely predictable (and predicted) winter Delta wave, the same one that already tore its way through the Midwest.
One thing is for sure though, the media will try to incite and create panic where none is needed. Another dumb headline in the Times said they spoke to "more than two dozen people" who are tired of Omicron. Um. Yeah. Stay smart, keep washing your hands, perhaps limit your indoor dining and activities and you'll see, this wave will peak and come down.
