The Coronavirus thread

I personally haven't heard a single thing about Covid in days. Maybe we are out of the woods with Covid, fingers crossed.

The new omnicron variant B is tearing its way through Europe and Asia and will be here very soon. Hillary Clinton has covid. The media stopped reporting on it because it makes Captain Poopypants look bad. He looks much better not doing anything about the war in Ukraine than not doing anything to stop covid, Captain Poopypants forte seems to be not doing anything except blaming Trump.

Alaska is back on top with case rate. They've recorded 559 new cases in two days. The Iditarod just finished so I thought the case rate would bump up with visitors from around the world. Kodiak is going to allow cruise ships for the first time in two years, that should bring their rate up as well.

There is plenty of cases around, but our local paper said they will no longer report it.

Yep, it has not gone anywhere and just like with Russia Russia Russia the media the agrees on what they will and won't report. Covid is making captain Poopypants look like a moron and we can't have that in an election year. The one thing they can't make go away without reporting it is inflation. People see it every time they buy gas every time they go to the store it's on a runaway freight train. Inflation is always always always very bad for whoever is in office they always get blamed whether it's their fault or not. The Captain is turning out to be Jimmy Carter on steroids as the most ineffective bumbling mumbling fumbling stumbling jackass we've ever had in the Oval Office. Anybody seen Trump lately? He's lost weight, toned down his hairstyle, he looks ten years younger.

Only a jack ass could agree with having higher prices for everything across the board

More than half the new cases in NYC are the new strain. It is more contagious than Omicron, but with milder symptoms and only incubates for three days.

The recent lockdowns affecting 100 million people in China over this new milder variant, are designed to further disrupt western supply chains.

Next, they'll be buying up our farmland and causing food shortages.

COVID US death rate is lower by 18% than the same date last year. For two years in a row, the death rate dropped until around 4th of July, and then began to increase (slowly during the summer) and more rapidly in the fall and peaking January of February.

I would be fine with it assuming wages and income went up as much or more than the percentage of the goods.

There’s one big reason you don’t hear much about it anymore: it’s not a big deal.

Those of us who were intelligent enough to get vaccinated and boosted basically get a mild cold if we catch one of the new strains.

Hillary Clinton, Jen Psaki, Kamala’s hubby all got it recently. All fine.
