London’s famed New Year’s Eve celebration in Trafalgar Square has been canceled over Omicron.

We certainly wouldn’t want anyone to catch cold.
What a weak and apathetically cowardly culture.

Are governments running out of money?
Using covid as an excuse not to do things?

> One hospitalized from it
My older bro’s neighbor works as a nurse at Houston Methodist Hospital. She told him the situation there is crazy with the increase in the number of COVID patients in the past 10 days. I believe that as of two days ago Omicron accounted for about 50% of the hospitalized cases in Houston. It is probably quite a bit higher than that now.

Because as we all know, fireworks can spread covid.
Having said that, my opinion about fireworks shows is the same as parades.....once you’ve seen one...you’ve seen all of ‘em.

Just put the phone away and enjoy the show. It’s not like they’re not going to do it again.
(Then again these days, who knows?)
