I mean the UK had over 90,000 cases and 111 deaths today and it’s been like that for the past few weeks in Europe, right?

That seemsa very low death rate for so many cases. are you saying thats evidence thay Omicron os not very deadly in a highly vaccinated population?
That’s my armchair take…but I’ll still mask at stores.

Still a lot of risk for ‘at-risk” populations

Death surges trail cases by a couple of weeks.

The way to think about this is to count preventable deaths vs inevitable deaths.  IMO  nearly all 111 of those were preventable, based on vaccination, isolation and masking.

of course
But would be a welcome trend if it stays that way

Also, MD hasn't reported any COVID data in over a week because their system was hacked.  But Twitter is reporting this:

We remain in the dark in Maryland about the extent of the current Covid surge..but this is probably a clue. DC with its highest number new cases ever

Viruses, over time, generally become more contagious and less efficacious. Simple evolution.

I guess I was saying I am not going to freak out….yet


Now if I was unvaccinated or lived somewhere with real low vaccinated rates I would probably freak out

There was a great article about DHS Secretary Becerra saying something about how we need to focus on severity of cases and not “new cases”

My concern about letting Covid19 variants burn through populations is rise of new mutations like what if we get one that spreads really easily AND is super deadly… seems like if viruses weaken this is unlikely?

The unvaccinated are freaking out, but not necessarily what you would have them freaking out about.

I spoke to my mom yesterday, and she told me she's "thinking of moving to Florida, because Biden is going to put all of the unvaccinated in concentration camps (that Obama built.)"

I reminded her that Florida is part of the United States, and posed the question that "wouldn't they have the camps in Florida too?" And she said that "No, Governor Desantis is very strong, and he would never allow that to happen."

We moved on to talking about how it looks like it's going to be 60 here on Xmas, and I mentioned global warming. And she replied, "Oh I don't believe all that crap, it's all man-made."

 And I said "Of course it's man-made, we've been doing all the wrong things for many years." And she replied, "No, I'm talking about the giant machine in Alaska they control the weather with."

We then moved on to talking about her aging dog and all of his vet bills, and the new false teeth she finally sprung for. Though I did make one last pitch for her to get the vaccine by mentioning all the unvaccinated people on their death beds who were belatedly begging for the vaccine. She replied that she won't get sick because she takes her vitamins and has stopped sharing the elevator with anyone in her building.

Anyway, your concern about a more deadly mutation ripping through the population is one I share. I guess great minds think alike, or watch Station Eleven.

as a Jew, I can confirm this is wrong...Jews would never live in Alaska to control the weather
They live in Florida and control the space lasers from there (thankfully Desantis hasn't cracked down on this yet)

Shit...apparently the Mossad is reading this and I'm a marked man, this may be my last post

You can’t criticize virtual schooling cause you got covid?


Come on man…what are you saying? We need to stay home locked down forever?

Virtual schooling really is pretty shitty…and has a huge cost to children and their families.

I get the desire to kick Hogan but he’s been pretty good.

+1. Kosmo doesn't have kids.

My kid actually fared very well, academically, with virtual. Better than in-person. Still, she wants no part of a possible return to virtual. And I realize that many others weren't in as fortunate of circumstances as we were. Some might even argue that disgruntled NoVA parents were one reason why Youngkin won.
