The AP is garbage news.
sk has roughly 52 million people. 298 people died *with* the Rona yesterday, not necessarily FROM the Rona.
Fauci isn’t that busy. Can’t he take a break from telling Ukraine that the war will be over sooner if they double mask to offer South Korea the protection his lies provide?
Strange since Omicron has proven far less deadly than the other variants in the West.
Ummm...excuse me. We are doing Ukraine now, not Covid.
Carry on
So, roughly 340,000 new cases every day and roughly 230 deaths every day. Do the math.
This is just another thing that may or may not kill you. And the risk seems pretty low.
Asia is having its Omicron wave.
Some places in Asia have already passed their peaks, but the one’s like South Korea and China, who held it off through strict social controls, are toward the end of the pack.
The bottom line is that Omicron is just too infectious to contain, and it is going to have its run.
Not a surprise at all. All COVID response has been defensive, not offensive. This means that EVERYONE will eventually get exposed to the virus. Those nations that did well last year are paying for it now. Natural immunity has always been the solution, and gloves and masks are merely useful to flatten the curve so that health services do not get overwhealmed, as was Trump’s original plan.
So much for Putin ending COVID.
