“Straight to the Omega Man variant already?”

No, no, no. We’ve still got the entire Klingon alphabet to go through, which is hundreds if I’m not mistaken.

They’re going to run out of superlatives. Doomsday and Armageddon are the same thing, so what can they use after this? Lake of Fire strain?

The only more devastating is the Double-Dog-Dare variant.

If you are unfortunate to get the DDG Covid Variant this winter, and happen to put your tongue on a frozen pole, it’s ALL over for you.

Ladies and Gentlemen, and Humblegunner:

It has come to the attention of the central office that said Doomsday Variant has elicited a sense of panic among the citizen members of this august forum.

Although deep concern is appropriate, we, the authorities, hasten to remind you we will get through this together.

The health of our society depends on each of us doing our part, as free individuals to subjugate ourselves, our families, our neighbors, colleagues, and friends, by force if necessary, to absolute conformity with the demands of our benevolent government, their agents, officers, media allies, and campaign contributors.

Remember: as long as you do exactly what you are told to do, there can be no danger to society as a whole.

Some individuals may have their existence curtailed in our national health effort. Remember that these organic losses, like the loss of that nebulous concept "individual liberty," though momentarily painful, are part of the process of societal advancement, improvement, and general health.

Most important, remember: we are from the government, and we're here to help.



Strength in Unity!

One People, One Country, One Ruler!



Yours in Joe,

Golux

Undersecretary for Continuing Outreach

Government Liaison

Unless of course you are lucky enough to have a dog nearby smart enough to pee on said frozen junction !

“Murder hornets.. the perfect vaccine delivery service ;)”

North of Seattle last week they found a murder hornet nest. They used a tracking device on a hornet they had trapped. The tracking device looked like a tiny vaccine tube and needle! (The “needle” was the antenna sticking out of the device).

No. Daily or even hourly. Monthly is too long.

Herald Sun is Murdoch and the “Doomsday” story is over all his Australian publications today.

however, note *** below:

30 Aug: Forbes: Here’s What We Know About C.1.2.—South Africa’s New, Highly Mutated Covid Variant
by Jemima McEvoy
There has been a lot of buzz this past week over a new coronavirus variant identified in South Africa that appears to be more highly mutated than any other variant flagged by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a variant of interest or concern, but still comprises just a small share of the country’s Covid-19 cases and ***has not been conclusively investigated for how its mutations impact the behavior of the virus...

Beyond its transmission and response to vaccines remaining unknown, Lessells warned that ***people shouldn’t be overly concerned about C.1.2. yet as it was expected that variants with more mutations would emerge later in the pandemic. Furthermore, C.1.2. still makes up a very small—but consistently growing—portion of all of South Africa’s cases. It accounted for just 1% of samples in June and 3% in July, versus 67% of samples in June and 89% in July for the delta variant...

Tulio de Oliveira, the director of the KwaZulu-Natal Research Innovation and Sequencing Platform, said the variant has only been detected in about 100 of samples sequenced, ***“a very low number,” he stressed at a conference on Monday...

The World Health Organization has four variants identified as variants of concern and four variants identified as variants of interest (this label is given when they are confirmed as being more severe or transmissible). ***C.1.2. currently qualifies as neither...

a South African doctor was on BBC World Service radio yesterday, explaining it’s not a variant of concern as yet, because they know very little about it.

so how come all the hype in the FakeNewsMSM?
