The projection of 100 million potential infections is an estimate based on a range of outside models that are being closely tracked by the administration and would include both the fall and winter, a senior administration official told CNN. Officials say this estimate is based on an underlying assumption of no additional resources or extra mitigation measures being taken, including new Covid-19 funding from Congress, or dramatic new variants.

Excuse me Republicans, remember that election Red Wave? Not so fast.

Like, I’m scared man.

Stay home and mail in your vote. You’ll be fine.

Meanwhile, look where some Upstate NY CoupFlu aid is going...

How counties in the Finger Lakes are using their COVID relief funds

SNORT.

Well at least it won’t be as bad as “the winter of death” we had a few months back.

Dramatic new variants??? What the &#*@ is a ‘Dramatic’ variant??

[caver]

STFU

[JonPreston]

What the &#*@ is a ‘Dramatic’ variant??

The Midterm variant.

Ok. So cold season is coming. I get it. More vaccines, face masks, and mail in voting. How about more inflationary stimulus, employer shutdowns, and travel bans? You know, over the common cold or flu.

Throw in a Taiwan invasion and a nuclear bomb test in Iran? Just get everything you wanted to kill our culture and society. "Corona and you, building back better". Our new points of light slogan in America.

I plan to vote by phone.

Of course, 99.75 million won’t notice.

They have to be spraying this virus in the air to make predictions like this. Maybe they use drones or something.

Ever since covid, the flu has never made a real return.

Or did it ever leave?

[JonPreston]

Fax in your vote?

[Baldwin77]

Is it a cold, or is it covid. That is the question.

…a senior administration official told CNN. Officials say…

The “officials” can bugger off.

[JonPreston]

I agree. Nearly nothing is off the table for me.

[G Larry]

This is all about enshrining election fraud via the mail in vote.

[Tom Tetroxide]

The flu and cold (aka the ‘rona) virii happen every fall and winter on schedule like they have for hundreds of thousands if not millions of years.

Some years it kills more, some less.
