The omicron version of COVID is so mild that it's indistinguishable from a cold. Many people are asymptomatic. We also know now that early COVID counts were almost certainly wrong because the dominant test used was unable to distinguish between COVID and the regular flu. Nevertheless, Joe Biden has invested almost $140 million in a German company that will build a home-test plant in America...by 2024.
It's no secret at this point that omicron was o-versold. It's so negligible that many people know they have it only because they've been tested. Even those who have symptoms feel only as if they've got a cold. They just identify as omicron-sick. You only need to look at the hugely different trend lines between cases and deaths to understand that omicron is a big nothing:
Indeed, omicron may or may not be extremely contagious. That's hard to know because the CDC, after announcing that 73% of all COVID cases in America were now omicron, backtracked and now says that only 23% are, with the remainder being the delta variant. But if these cases are the delta variant, they must be pretty darn mild if they're indistinguishable from omicron and cases are dropping.
In any event, it's entirely possible that COVID has been grossly overcounted from the beginning. That's because it turns out that the PCR test was unable to distinguish between COVID and the flu. Democrats insisted that the flu vanished because of the masks and social distancing, but it now appears the flu dropped off the radar because all cases were misclassified as COVID.
And of course, there's the little problem that vaccinated people are the ones most likely to get omicron. Thankfully, they're not getting very sick, but that fact utterly destroys the narrative

Many here pointed this out last winter.
It's about time the CDC fessed up.
“omicron may or may not be extremely contagious. That’s hard to know because the CDC, after announcing that 73% of all COVID cases in America were now omicron, backtracked and now says that only 23% are, with the remainder being the delta variant”
And they wonder why people refuse to comply with this nonsense......they shouldn’t because this is a perfect example of why.
Jerusalem, Dec 31: Israel has recorded its first case of 'flurona'- the double infection from Covid and flu, local website Ynet reported on Thursday. The name is a mix of the words "flu" (flu in English) and coronavirus. CDC Withdraws Use of PCR Test for COVID! Finally Admits the Test Can Not Differentiate Between the Flu and COVID Virus!

After December 31, 2021, the CDC will withdraw the use of the PCR test for COVID-19 testing. The CDC finally admitted the test does not differentiate between the flu and COVID virus.
OmigodCron!, Doubling daily!, Is either sniffles or symptomless, or?
So, Who Is On First? Covid! Common Cold! This year's Flu!
Just in time for Brandon's latest payment to his ChiCom overlords for a few billion PCR tests arriving in America, soon just for you and me!
This is misleading. Actual influenza assays were coming up zero. The flu really had disappeared for a time.
Omicron is a variant of the common cold that causes PCR tests to give a false positive... nothing more.
Obviously, the reason Omicron is so mild is because the people who get it have been vaccinated. /s
Waiting for the vaccine apologists to show up. They never disappoint, it is almost like they are paid trolls... 1... 2... 3...
Yes, and I have a bridge for sale that I would like to show you. Viruses do not just disappear except in the minds of morons.

Earlier, I had posted about Omni crud before Christmas impacting a family of all ages and spread across N. California. No serious illness nor hospitalizations. Everyone was up to date with their vaccinations.
This morning, my wife got a phone call from a woman in her Bible study group of women from their mid 60’s to early 80’s. This woman is in her early 80’s, is basically healthy and fully vaccinated.
Her fully vaccinated two adult sons and their wives got the newest crud from a grandson/nephew home from college. He thought that he had a cold and pollen allergies. Like all if not most College students in California, he was/is fully vaccinated.
We didn’t have testing done, and we think that the Omni crud hit one of our adult sons in this December, and then, he passed it on to us.
He was fully vaccinated including his booster shot, and he got hammered fairly hard. He apparently passed it on to me, and I shared it with my wife. Whatever we had was like a serious cold without the fever for 3-5 days. Besides having running noses and feeling exhausted during the day, we had both hot flashes and shivers in bed for a few nights. Our tv was playing Christmas music and showing the burning fireplace log.
I sometimes nap in my Lazy Boy but never really sleep before the crud. One time with the crud, my wife timed me, and I slept over 2 hours in the afternoon sitting in my Lazy Boy.
My wife, seldom naps, and she has been laying down on a sofa, covering with a throw and taking about a 30 minute nap since her visit with the crud, a few hours after lunch and sometimes not finishing her lunch, until after she takes a nap.
We are hearing from coast to coast from friends and relatives basically the same, as noted above. All ages and both sexes are getting this crud in spite of being vaccinated and in good health before its visit.
No one has gone to a hospital nor needed to go. No body is taking any heavy duty drugs, rx or OTC..
Most of us, are basically over this new crud in a few days.
The Church Lady above, is going to self isolate for a full 10 days and limit outside personal contact to avoid passing the crud on to others.
The testing has been quite productive, at least from the viewpoint of the political leaders looking at the sheep in the country.
Nevertheless, Joe Biden has invested almost $140 million in a German company that will build a home-test plant in America...by 2024.
Omicron will be long gone before a plant that’s under construction starts shipping any product.

Who would have ever thunk? From March ‘20 you’d have to be a world class idiot not to have figured that one out.

After December 31, 2021,(today!) the CDC will withdraw the use of the PCR test for COVID-19 testing. The CDC finally admitted the test does not differentiate between the flu and COVID virus.

Directly from a Kadlec ER physician. I lose respect for you calling a former neighbor names like that.
Who says?
And why do you apparently believe them?

Thanks for posting this.
Some of us were asking questions back then, which were ignored by the Dark Side Thugs and their mediots, and are still ignored today.
Like how do we treat real Covid patients to keep them out of hospitals and back to their normal lives.
If they are in hospitals due to or with Covid, how do we treat them to get them out of the hospitals quickly, alive and not damaged more.
And of course, there’s the little problem that vaccinated people are the ones most likely to get omicron. Thankfully, they’re not getting very sick, but that fact utterly destroys the narrative
Maybe the vac is causing the Omnicom variant.
I am sorry. I hope you will be able to forgive my exuberance.
I didn’t mean to get carried away. It is contrary to common sense that the flu virus would just go away for a period of time regardless of what an ER physician said. I discovered this year that the doctor that I have been going to for years holds some bizarre beliefs as well.
