You still haven’t undertaken your survey of the churches, I see...

[Paul R.]

Haha - completely OT, but I was about to use the word “pernicious” in my long post, then decided against as the definitions vary too much. One in particular (Google search) cracked me up:

per·ni·cious
/pərˈniSHəs/

adjective
having a harmful effect, especially in a gradual or subtle way.

“the pernicious influences of the mass media”

Whoa! WHO snuck that one in??!!

Never was MY survey, you see. It was just a silly “down the rabbit hole” pseudo-assignment from an insincere interlocutor.

Both Delta and Omicron replicate very rapidly in the Nasal mucosa/upper respiratory tract, as compared to the earlier strains.

However, Delta is much more able to get down into the lung tissues than is Omicron - ten times as much, or better.

[The Westerner]

Thanks to your dogged posts, I know the difference between Delta (lungs) and Omicron (throat/nose). Yesterday a colleague who(didn't know if she has Delta or Omicron) said the MAB caused the painful inflammation around the lungs or heart symptoms! An unvaccinated, midwesterner-Dec case. I can't wrap my head around the Republican antipathy to vaccines. In 1980, the Party divided itself forever over abortion (pro-abortion went Independent in my state) and now a deadly virus.

The Republican Party may not be able to vote Trump back in due to divisiveness,e.g., unhinged rage of your thread followers on FR.
