Yeah. Previously it was referred to as “a cold”.

But that was before it had hysteria power.

It's very possible omicron is contagious but not nearly as virulent as some want the gov't. wants us to believe.

Fixed it.

[tired&retired]

Yes, since 1963.

How ironic..

1963 Movie “OMICRON”

An alien takes over the body of an Earthman in order to learn about the planet so his race can take it over.

I am almost positive the original Covid variant was around in late November or early December 2019 in the United States. I know I had many of the symptoms supposedly associated with that in early January. Originally, I attributed it to being outside more, but then I realized I had been around lots of people during that time and others I was around during that time reported similar symptoms.
