The Director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota and member of President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 Advisory Board appeared on MSNBC Thursday morning to discuss the sharp rise in coronavirus cases brought about by the Omicron variant and new CDC guidelines that shorten the recommended time to quarantine for asymptomatic individuals following a positive test.

DeleteLet me translate that for you: "We have a little more work to do to wreck the economy and make our kids stupid so we need to lock everybody down again at least through the November elections. Not to worry, we will have mail in ballots for everybody that is living or has ever been living or thinks they might have been alive at some time. Just sign them and send them back. Our staff will complete them for you. Now, pull that diaper back over your face."
ReplyDelete"November elections"
Delete*giggle* Look, the peasants still think that there are going to be elections!

Are there people who actually watch morning joe ?
ReplyDeleteLocally here the nationality owned " local " news are hyping the growing cases of the newest bullshit variety of the flu. Cases are dramatically increased and hospitals will be full again, problem is this is a relatively small community that is either related to or knows someone who is working in the local health care sector, hospitals and doctors offices, and the hype isn't adding up. Hospitals here were never even close to half capacity in the highest level of the China flu. You could get a same day appointment with your doctor and easily get a hospital bed for a medical emergency.
Smoke and mirrors, it's primarily theater and hypocrisy
Fuck slo joe and kamel toe along with Fauxchi

If the medical profession doesn't get their shit together doctor jokes are going to replace lawyer jokes.
ReplyDeleteIt’s all bull shee ite. Who cares about number of cases? The tests are at best 50% accurate. Tell me how full the ICUs are with COVID (only) cases. Otherwise shut the eff up!!!!!

I'm not even sure that the "authorities" are reporting "cases" so much as "positive test results".
DeleteWith people requiring multiple tests before being cleared, how likely is it that each and everyone of those positive tests is being counted as a "case", even though five (or more) might have come from a single person?
Horseshit.
ReplyDeleteWhat...no-one's heard of Xi'an yet?
ReplyDeleteThe US MSM keeping a tight lid on it?
I just had an open heart surgery postponed because the hospital cliams there are so many covid patients right now that there are no beds... My guess is that it's a combo of healthcare workers exposed to high viral loads and of vax side effects. But who knows in this forest of lies
ReplyDeleteOne wonders if they plan on using ALL the Greek letters, then stop, or do we keep going with Roman, Celtic, and Braille?

FWIW:
ReplyDeleteIn SoCal, we're seeing maybe 4-5 cases of new COVID per week in the ED serious enough to hospitalize.
Most (but not all) of them are people fully vaxxed and boostered.
None of them are as sick as the people we had a year ago.
90% of our ICU cases have nothing whatsoever to do with COVID, nor vaxxes.
The biggest problem we have is that fully 50% of the ICU personnel hit their personnel "F**k it, I'm out!" points in the last 18 months, and they aren't coming back. Another 25% of the hospital is quarantined at home after a positive COVID test, or symptoms.
Those people are nearly 100% the ones who got fully vaxxed and boostered.
Color me shocked. (Not.)
The end result is we're full in the ED, but only because there are no people to take the normal admissions.
COVID is mainly just an inconvenience, whereas a year ago, it was 85-90% of our critical care admissions.
I suspect the loss of staff, to burnout, and/or bailing out rather than getting jabbed, is having similar effects in hospitals and cities nationwide, far more than the disease itself is.
Cases does not equal hospitalizations, and hospitalizations are very rarely sick enough these days to need the ICU.
But vaxxing is killing kids and healthy athletic young adults on a regular basis.
