The sky is falling, the sky is falling!

Lots of things could happen.

For example, they could tell us what the staffing levels are at their hospitals right now, in real numbers, as compared to pre vaccine mandate. Just how much capacity have they {derogatory term for the act of urinating} away with their arbitrary mandates?

Even better... As we approach 2 years into this pandemic tell me this. After the initial scares about capacity, ventilators, etc. what steps, exactly (no hand waving), have been taken to increase capacity and capability? Results?

Yep. Gotta keep up the conditioning, or it won’t take and people will resume their normal lives. Can’t have that.

And global warming could destroy Obama’s beachfront mansion.

Why can’t there be some good news too?

If Omicron is like a mild cold, why would It overwhelm hospitals?

It won't. Of course that isn't to say it won't be blamed for it.

I am literally more afraid of one of Space-X's Starlink satellites falling out of orbit and taking me out than I am of Omicron. In other words, not at all.

The panic has to stick around until at least the midterm election steal.

Or beyond. Universal mail-in ballots forever!

HCQ-Z should be an over-the-counter drug, like so many cold medicines. Taken soon after the first symptoms it is almost 100% effective at preventing serious illness. So why would it be forbidden by those in “power” unless they WANT more seriously sick people?

Follow the money. Who profits from increased illness?

Follow the agenda. Who wants the Earth’s population reduced by 95% or more?

Could both be the same?

Is the LA Times stuck on stupid.

From the information we are seeing, it's the New Case tabulators who will be overwhelmed but not the hospitals.

We will see what happens.

“And it does confer a much more effective natural immunity than any number of injections of the mRNA vaccines, which have only limited effectiveness, with frequent “breakthrough” infections of COVID-19 subsequently.”

That is the kicker that gets buried.

Well stated. People scared out of their minds can really, really be manipulated. Even some otherwise pretty bright ones.
