New York City health officials are warning residents that the infectious omicron subvariant XBB.1.5 may be more likely to infect people who have already been vaccinated or infected with COVID-19.
“Omicron subvariant XBB.1.5 now accounts for 73% of all sequenced COVID-19 cases in NYC,” the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene tweeted on Friday. ” XBB.1.5 is the most transmissible form of COVID-19 that we know of to date and may be more likely to infect people who have been vaccinated or already had COVID-19.”
The department added that getting vaccinated against the virus, including receiving an updated booster shot, remains the best way to protect against hospitalization and death, including from new variants.

Biggest IQ test in world history.
Funny you bring that up. I'm seeing the same thing. My cousin, twice injected, is currently recovering from covid. His triple-injected wife currently has covid. His mom, thrice injected, now has covid. My uncle who against my urging got triple vaccinated, caught covid six months ago. My close friend in RI - injected 4 times - got covid. My wife and I, never injected (nor shall we ever be) never got covid.

Like the other variants, pandemic of the unvaccinated, right
“Home tests, which I’ve discouraged them from using, because they have their own set of dangers”
How are home tests dangerous ??? All you are doing in a home test is sticking a cotton swab up your nose. You are not drinking the test medium.

You may not be drinking the test medium, but the nose orifice is an excellent venue for the body to receive bad s—t. Do they supply the swabs, or does the patient?
Unless I could supply my own swab, nothing is going in my nose. You don’t know where it’s been and who manufactured it (probably China).
The tests I have came from Korea.
But so did my dog, and he licks my face sometimes...
Poison centers around the country sound alarm on chemical in some COVID-19 at-home tests
Can Painful Complications Arise After A Covid-19 Nasal Swab Test?
For starters….
From article...Just can’t make this stuff up...

The swabs come with kits and are sealed and sterile.
You are avoiding testing and counseling others to avoid testing because of this ???
The poison issue is kind of silly. If you are not a complete imbecile, you will not touch or ingest the reagent. The amount of reagent in home tests is tiny and a person would have to be pretty stupid to confuse it for medicine. That level of stupidity indicates that they probably could not administer the home test accurately anyway. As for children getting the test, I agree that like all
Medicines and chemicals, it needs to be stored away from children until it is used.
As far as nasal swab complications go, that is kind of ridiculous also. You no longer have to stick a swab way up your nose. Kits now just need a quick swabbing about 3/4 of an inch up each nostril, not way up in the sinuses. If 3/4” swabbing causes long lasting pain and discomfort, you probably should see a doctor anyway since you have something wrong in your nose.
When a virus is so weak, as this one is, I believe testing is irrelevant. It only feeds hysteria that infection is to be feared, which this one should not. No covid should, in my opinion, when compared to other common respiratory illnesses, which have roughly the same symptoms.
When I pressed my sister on why she got tested, she said because she wanted to be able to compare how ill she actually became, if it was covid, as it turned out to be.
She said in the end, it was an extremely mild experience. She only had a slight fever, Friday morning, and picked up the test at her pharmacy drive through. After testing positive, she stayed home from work of course. The mild fever broke that day, and by Sunday she was perfectly fine.
That doesn’t mean everyone infected may have such mild symptoms. But it convinced her to never waste her time and money or the risks on ever being tested again.
Testing is important due to the risk of infecting other people. COVID still kills people and makes others very sick sometimes with long lasting symptoms. One of the reasons it does not go away is because contagious people are out there infecting others.
Testing and quarantining if positive is a decent thing to do for other’s benefit, especially if you might interact with people who are at risk for more serious outcomes.
Covid is mostly a scam, no worse than the flu. If you’re sick, stay home, and away from the most vulnerable. Don’t succumb to the fear tactics of the media and Big Pharma. You sound like their spokesperson, as a matter of fact.
“The swabs come with kits and are sealed and sterile.”
Sealed, sterile, and ... ?
They’re coming compliments of people whose goal for three years has been to insert bad stuff into your body. Maybe some people are OK with sticking something up your nose provided by CCP, Fauci, Gates, etc., but I’m not. No way.
Smart lady. I wish my sister hadn’t partook of their fruit, but she is 100% convinced covid is all a scam now. Thanks.
Seriously do you work for China ????
COVID is not the end of the world but it is definitely not the flu.
The flu does not rack your body with blood clots or cause multiple organ failures. Both of these are documented and unique to COVID.
There is strong evidence it is an engineered virus and as such it is very unpredictable. Luckily for us at this time it is not as lethal as formerly but there are no guarantees it won’t become a serious problem again.
The goal should be to reduce the number of people getting COVID in the first place. Testing and quarantines for those who are sick help achieve this. Walking around contagious, spreading COVID to others does not.
Nice try, but the data is becoming clear that only the “vaccinated” are the only ones having the horrible blood clot issues, not those who caught covid but were not vaccinated. You might as well move on and try your scare campaign on someone else.
“Nice try, but the data is becoming clear that only the “vaccinated” are the only ones having the horrible blood clot issues, not those who caught covid but were not vaccinated.”
You are 1000% wrong. You are mixing up the blood clots that were identified with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. COVID induced blood clots were identified early on when nobody was vaccinated and these clots effected all parts of the body not just the lungs. The blood clots identified with COVID have nothing to do with vaccines, they pre date the vaccines, are a function of the virus itself and still are an issue today. In addition COVID causes MDS Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome which is a serious malady affecting adults but significant numbers of children. It is fatal in 11% of cases in children. It is unique to COVID and usually shows up a week or two after infection. It does not occur with the flu.
I don’t know where you get your information but you need a better source or at least try to figure out exactly what the heck you are talking about.
