Winter 2020 was the season of Zoom holidays. By 2021, the omicron surge spoiled end-of-year plans. So far, the 2022 holiday season is off to a bumpy start with an early, sharp surge of flu and respiratory syncytial virus cases with an expected wave of Covid-19 cases on the horizon.
With a lack of national and local precautionary guidance, individuals are now on their own to gauge risk and protection. However, Americans have more tools in their arsenal when it comes to protecting themselves against Covid this holiday season: vaccines, boosters, tests, masks, knowledge of how the virus spreads.
...
Make a plan with attendees on precautions. Maybe you’ll all take a rapid test before coming inside, maybe you’ll wear masks when you’re near Grandma, maybe your host will keep the windows open, or maybe you’ll all choose to gather outside. Getting vaccinated, boosted, and wearing masks in public places prior to the gathering should be sufficient protection for most families, even those with older relatives, Ruff says.
...
While nationwide mask mandates have expired, it’s still a good idea to keep N95 or KN95 masks on hand for travel purposes. Wear a mask at the airport and during takeoff and landing or if the flight is short, keep it on for the entire flight,
...
"If we’re going to a higher-risk area, it may be worth putting your mask on when you’re going out in public around people you don’t know, and maybe you choose not to wear your mask around your family who’s all vaccinated,” Ruff says, “but when we all go out as a big group, maybe you do.”

I am doing none of those things, and shall enjoy life.
I live my life as if the Kung flu doesn’t exist. I did have to wear a mask - BRIEFLY - over a year ago on a flight, but I brought a big bag of peanuts since you don’t have to wear a mask while eating.
I was a bit bloated after the flight, but freedom must be fought for and sometimes the cost must be paid. 😁
Just like the hunter laptop, once again the lib media is late to the party.
People aren’t falling for this mask and shot crap anymore.
Very few are getting the latest untested experimental injection.

I think I found the problem.
Screw these people. If I get sick, I get sick. That’s it.
If you haven’t tipped over yet, you haven’t boosted enough. If a man loves his family and country, even a little, he will very publicly die in midday at a family gathering.
The scamdemic is over rover.
boost this...
“It’s the cold, it’s the flu, it’s OMICRON!! Run for your life!!”
The world’s gone insane.
A friend of mine lives in Washington state, and he & his wife recently attended a symphony/choral performance near Seattle -- everyone was masked, even the singers. So they left. It was just too utterly absurd to tolerate.
Living in a free state, one forgets that this insanity is still even going on.
Some bold people will have this video playing on their large screen TV as their guests arrive.

Oh, good grief.
From our local county office of education:
With COVID-19, RSV and Influenza A spreading in our community, it’s important to take health precautions during the winter holidays. Gatherings are always safest when guests are vaccinated, test before attending, and stay home if sick, and the California Department of Public Health has a Safe and SMART Events Playbook with further best practices.
