Is there anything CONTROLOvirus can't do? Sniffleofalous dooms holiday travel.

Gee I hope you weren’t planning to get together with family.

OmiCommieCon = their excuse for the Pandemic of the Jabbed.

[Laslo Fripp]

I know that I don’t have COVID because I can smell the b*llsh!t from here.

I’ve told my sons, if you need an excuse for homework, claim COVID. It seems to work everywhere EXCEPT at home.

[Pearls Before Swine]

We got together ok. I just hope I can fly home next week!

The smart ones all quit and the stupid ones are sick.

***Not my information***

What Laboratories Should Know:

There are no authorized, cleared, or approved diagnostic tests to specifically detect SARS-CoV-2 variants (Omicron or other variants). Currently, COVID-19 tests are designed and authorized to check broadly for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, not for specific variants.

The Omicron variant has a deletion in the spike (S) gene (Δ69-70). Some molecular tests with multiple genetic targets include a target covering the portion of the S gene where the deletion occurs. The presence of this mutation can result in an S-gene target failure (SGTF, also referred to as an S-gene drop out). The S-gene target will fail (return as negative) while other targets are expected to remain positive in the presence of this virus. SGTF can signal the need for sequencing to characterize the variant in a specimen.

SGTF has been observed in other variants and thus is not specific to the Omicron variant.

$cience.

Just curious, are these legitimate cancellations or are the pilots protesting vac mandates? Remember South West had this happen and to this day lie and blame the weather.

[Jane Long]

Hopefully, these airlines are offering free refunds for their own staff shortages.

Sad for those booked pax, who were excited to be seeing family :-(

[Jane Long]

They’ll never tell.

Well, at least for a while.

[Jane Long]

I appreciate your brevity. :)

[Reno89519]

And cancellations are because the airlines required vaccines of their workers. Now have less workers. This is all on them.

Certain areas of the country are testing like crazy. Example: CLE has testing stations set up before the gate!!!

Merry Christmas!

[Herodes]

No worries...Jen Psaki announced the other day that Joe Biden saved Christmas.

Enjoy! Airport food is the best!

[Romulus]

This isn’t a virus. It’s people calling in sick because they can. Trust me on this.
