As cases of COVID-19 surge at Cornell, local health officials say every single student sample they tested was the omicron variant, underlining how quickly the highly contagious virus is spreading.
Tompkins County health officials said late Friday they checked 115 samples from COVID-positive students ages 18-24 and every single one of them was the omicron variant, which was unknown to science less than a month ago.
None of the students in question are severely ill, they added.
At a community testing site at a local mall, 18 of 44 positive samples were omicron, suggesting community spread well off campus too….
… The university has reported more than 200 positive tests a day for six straight days, almost all of them among students. Before Thanksgiving, the Ithaca campus was averaging about eight positive tests a day.
In the week through Dec. 16, Cornell reported 1,502 COVID cases on campus -- up 7x from the prior week and nearly 20x from two weeks prior.
That mirrors the surge seen elsewhere. On Friday the state of New York reported the highest single-day case total of the entire pandemic, more than 21,000 new positives -- nearly double over a week.

“All 115 Tested Samples Positive”
I am reminded of drug store tube testers where it seemed every tube tested bad. Funny that, huh?
Cornell had professors recruiting students for their MPH program at Wuhan and Hong Kong in December of 2019 and January of 2020. Go figure.
Yep. This is Omicron. Very contagious, not very serious. If you’re vaccinated, you may catch the virus, but you’ll not get very ill.
What’s a common cold?
Every death from an auto accident is now due to Omicron.
That should help get the numbers up there.
Like the guy driving on the freeway and all the other cars are going the wrong way. A 100% result in anything is suspect.
TV watching creates a lot of ill feeling and of course the fake news media are doing everything they can to make us all hate and fear each other. And getting paid for it! Don’t forget: Each of these TV dimwads probably makes enough in six months to pay off the note on your house. And for what?
Stop watching TV. #KillYourTV #AbortTheMedia
As someone who just got ill with something flu-ish, the first thing your head says is COVID.
I decided NOT to panic (unlike what the MSM wants) and 3 days later, I nearly 90% back to normal.
If you want to create a plague,
FIRST :
the virus was “known” to those who MADE IT.
it was released to make TERROR and FEAR.
Science is systematized knowledge.
History shows mankind does not learn from history
which means it will repeat absent ACCOUNTABILITY.
...um, the pharma and government BIG $$$$ involved?
It's just a silly guess, I know.
Please carry on with the deadly comedy show.
My friend’s daughter is at Cornell
- Double Vaxxed last March
- Got covid (mild sniffles) upon returning to campus in early September
- Got booster vax in November
- Tested positive again in past few days
I had to laugh. its like chasing ghosts.
Funny how after two years no body of public medical epidemic specialists have tracked the vectors of each variant, no patient Zeros located. Nor lab reports of original virus mutating. At least none I've found.
So how does the Omicron variant suddenly pop up, spread broadly across the most populated province of South Africa and within a short period gone global.
Is any one aware of any epidemic virus mutating so rapidly before?

Tested how..?
Wanna bet they didn’t do genomic testing on all of them...
Oh no!
There’s been an outbreak of Cornell!
Buy all the toilet paper you can!
Thank you! You are absolutely correct. In fact, this statement grossly understating what the “vaccines” do. The experimental “vaccines” do far more than hurt your immune system.
My little brother in his 50s has been a captain for a major airline for decades. Like most professional pilots he takes extremely good care of himself to prevent his lucrative career from being ended early by health problems. He has never had any medical problems at all ever. He got the Pfizer “vaccine”. A few weeks later he went in for his mandated bi-annual FAA first class physical. He was asked if he had been vaccinated. After that the FAA flight surgeon found almost immediately that my brother's heart was both inflamed and enlarged and grounded my brother. It was not actually a huge surprise. Other pilots my brother knows have been grounded recently with the same condition after being vaccinated.
Happily, after being told by several specialists that he had permanent damage to his heart and was at increased risk of dying and that he would never be allowed to fly again... he was called by someone at the airline. He was that they had an extreme shortage of pilots and gave him the name of an FAA approved flight surgeon in another state who had been issuing waivers to other pilots with the same issue. So as of last week, he is now back to flying jet airliners.
Thankfully my brother did not suffer as much as my mother has after being vaccinated. She went from a healthy active person in her mid 80s who was taking long walks and working out at the YMCA every night to an invalid who appears to be close to dying... about a week after getting the Pfizer. She complained that she was in an extreme amount of pain and said she wished she could just die. This has now been going on for months. She has never been able to recover and has gone from 130 pounds which was a healthy weight for her down to 95. She now looks like a little death camp survivor. Every time the phone rings I wonder if it is news that she has died.
But the good news is that my niece and her fiancé who are in their 20s were both forced to be vaccinated to keep their jobs and then came down with Covid a month later are now both fully recovered. And my wife's sister and her husband who came up to visit after they were vaccinated assured us that we didn't have to worry about their sore throats and stuffy noses because they were fully vaccinated. Of course, my wife and I both became ill a couple of days after they left. What a coincidence. Of course our fully vaccinated next-door neighbor also came down with Covid. We know several others who were vaccinated and then became ill. My mother's fully vaccinated best friend actually died recently after being on a ventilator.
Yes, thank goodness we have you to let us know about all the “pure and simple” “propaganda” about the “vaccines”. Otherwise, our lying eyes and personal experiences could easily cloud our judgment.
How in the hell would you know anything about the truth.
You are a chi-com19 fear pimp, you weren't in the beginning, but then the vax scrambled your brain, and you've been over the edge ever since.
Why don't you just wait for your pal to publish some more bullshit graphs and charts from the lefty worldmeter stat machine, and then you can ride his coat tails into chi-com heaven.
2 weeks ago I was sick….with a cold. Do what I usually do with a cold. Never even thought about getting tested. Sheesh,
It’s just a cold, bro.
I had my marker on it being released in South America, at the antipodes from the Wuhan lab.
I didn't take into account China's desire for a depopulated Africa for Lebensraum.
