Covid-19 struck Beth Green just in time for Christmas, upending her annual holiday gatherings.

She planned on hosting her extended family at her Derry Township home on Dec. 23. She was especially excited because it’s difficult to get two of her adult sons together with their hectic schedules.

Green, an administrator at a long-term care facility, said her covid symptoms weren’t serious. She went ahead with altered plans to host. She wore an N95 mask. She told family to attend at their own risk. Some did. Some didn’t.

Covid, flu, RSV on the rise amid holiday gatherings

Apart from the manufactured Covid and the upcoming election, this is absolutely no different than every other year. It has always been known as the, "cold and flu season".

What is that “reporter’s” name at WaPo who is missing her fourth Christmas because she refuses to go out unless everyone wears a mask? She socializes with friends while maskless through-out the year but every Christmas for the past four years she screams “Conservatives who refuse to mask are trying to kill me!”

(I just looked it up—Taylor Lorenz is her name). Here is a Twitchy thread on her comment.

Taylor Lorenz is the person the media wants us all to be.

The 1st week of January, 2021, the COVID-19 cases dropped like a rock.

It seems people learned nothing from the 2020 Covid hoax - they are just itching to get fooled all over again.

More fake news fear porn caused people to run out and get more fake tests kits. More fake testing means more fake Covid cases. More fake cases means more fake vaccines and more fake mailed in ballots. More fake ballots means four more years of a fake POTUS.

That’s if the Republic can last another four years.

Wash, rinse, repeat

Covid cases are running at about 20-25% of what they were at this time last year.

This year’s Covid is basically a cold vs the flu. Sniffles, perhaps a light headache or temp, being a little tired. The shot would do nothing so it’s best to get natural immunity when/if you catch it.

The number of Covid cases and deaths were higher in 2021 than in 2020 or 2022. This is because Biden dropped mask and social distancing mandates without taking into consideration that most people were still unvaccinated.

There were 350,831 Covid deaths in 2020, 416,893 deaths in 2021, and 244,986 deaths in 2022. According to my spreadsheet, there will be fewer than 75,000 deaths in 2023. Most people are, in fact, vaccinated against Covid. The vaccines have made a difference.

She could have had a conference call with her two sons. I’m sure they would have understood.

Going on to host a gathering when she knew she had a positive diagnosis of Covid is extremely inconsiderate and irresponsible.

If you are sick with any respiratory illness, the proper thing to do is to self-isolate until your symptoms clear up.

To the contrary, when the thrust of the vaxx rollout began Feb 2021, there was an appreciable increase in the number of cases. Prior to the general application of the vaxx, natural/herd immunity took effect which resulted in the precipitous drop in cases early January 2021.

No kidding. /sarc That has been happening a long time, certainly when I was a kid in the 1960s. We were often ill by New Year’s Day after all the Christmas gatherings. LOL

That is not my recollection of events. For a brief period of time(a couple of months) team Biden said you don't have to wear masks or social distance if you have been vaccinated. When it became clear that was BS, team Biden and blue states back tracked.
