'Rules need to be clear': Dems call for Covid strategy reset as cases spike
POLITICO ^ | January 11, 2022 | S ARAH FERRIS, ALICE MIRANDA OLLSTEIN and NICHOLAS WU

Record hospitalizations. A nationwide scramble for tests. Entire school districts forced to shutter.

As a brutal surge of Omicron infections hits an exhausted nation, a growing number of Democrats are urging the Biden White House to reset its Covid battle plan to prevent what they fear could mushroom into a crisis of trust in public health authorities as cases spike in virtually every state. Democrats acknowledge that the latest Covid-19 variant is the most vexing to date, with plenty still unknown about its severity and resistance to treatments. But many are warning that some messaging from agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is fueling more confusion, and the government needs to evolve in its response to keep up with a dramatically changing virus.

Even some Democratic leaders say the Biden administration should do more to clarify its Covid guidance after several weeks of whiplash. “We need to make it very clear: This is not easy. We understand it’s not easy, but we’ve got to follow the rules,” House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said in a brief interview. “But the rules need to be clear, and the CDC needs to be clearer than it has been.”

More guidance from the White House could come during a Biden speech on Thursday, where he will speak on the state of the pandemic. And president Joe Biden may use that speech to address the criticisms levied against at least one of the CDC’s recent decisions — its reluctance to issue a nationwide recommendation to use higher-quality masks such as N-95 or KN-95.

The less guidance I get from “brain Dead Biden” the better I feel.

I say man and woman the hospitals and treat it like a military operation there. Otherwise we have no choice but to get back to normal.

For the record,

I have not used a single hospital or insurance resource since the mass hysteria of covid began.

I have bought out of pocket every supplement, vitamin, mineral and medicine I have used in my normal course of supplementation and preventative standards I typically follow.

Yet I am somehow taxing the system and putting everyone else at risk. Its insanity. People are literally insane, driven by nonstop fear and distorted reality.

Screw their ‘rules’. I won’t comply. ‘Public health’ is the most incompetent bureaucracy in HISTORY, and that’s saying something.

How many variants do we have to go through before we get our freedoms back?

The urgency of the urgent need is more urgent because we are fast approaching November and there is STILL no national mandate yet to mail out another billion unrequested mail-i ballots to empty lots and P.O.Boxes.......

I play in a co-ed volleyball league.
Last night every female, all in their 20’s, were wearing masks.
These are athletic, healthy twentysomething females. Essentially 0% chance of death.
Cowards are ruining our country.
Women should not be allowed to vote or hold any public office.

You’re about a year and a half too late.
