President Joe Biden's decision to wait until Tuesday to address his plan to combat the rapidly spreading COVID Omicron variant has been met with incredulity as many criticized his apparent lack of urgency while he spends the weekend in Delaware.

It comes after Vice President Kamala Harris admitted on Friday that the administration was not prepared for the variant as cases doubled over the past 24 hours, with all but six states confirming cases, stoking fears of shutdowns similar to the ones in 2020.

Some have claimed that waiting till next week to outline a plan against Omicron is not a proactive move for a president who famously vowed to 'shut down the virus.'

his speeches intentionally alluded to future interstate travel restrictions. presumably they will either up the threat of it or actually roll it out.

> ...people will not only not wish to return to pre-Plannedemic celebrations, but will actually begin to lose the memory of what such celebrations were like. This is the CCP’s global “Cultural Revolution”.

I've been thinking the same thing. Not only will the world -- and especially the US -- not "return to normal", but it will simply move forward into the next phase of the Great Cultural Metamorphosis.

The breakdown of American culture has taken 50 years, starting with Cloward-Piven and LBJ's Great Society, but it happened so gradually that we adjusted to each incremental step. Now we are on the brink of the collapse, the great ship's bow is already over the edge of the waterfall, and I can't imagine what it would take to reverse the downward progression.

I have come to sadly believe that it is irreversible -- that the America of the Founders will disappear and will have to be recreated by another group of inspired men some day, God willing.

"I want the immunity a mild illness like omicron confers"

I got mine from pure grade Delta! Only the finest! Got the antibody treatment within 6 hours of testing positive, scarfed up some Ivermectin at night, and was well in 2 days. (And I'm 63 with plenty of comorbs)

UNEXPECTED!!

Drink!

But Motormouth Joe promised to wipe out the virus in his first 100 days.

President Trump’s biggest mistake was turning the microphone over to Fauci.

Saving Covid-19 treatment specs, from you.

Brandon wouldn't be the first resident to not know what year it is. Obomba holds that dubious honor.

[HKMk23]

I wouldn’t say that there aren’t many cases here, but where are all the deaths?

Tempest?

Tea pot?

A sound and a fury signifying...nothing?

[Mom MD]

I believe you are correct

I don't see how Joe Biden can interfere with interstate commerce, he is the President but he does not have the power to shut it down. President Trump didn't shut it down in the first place, he had to ask the Governors to do it.

And now it’s time for another episode of “If This Happened With Trump”

[dfwgator]

It’s a cold, bro!

[whershey]

100%. Haven't looked this morning but South Africa numbers were plummeting yesterday. This is basically the same thing that happened with Sars 1 it's just taking longer. It'll be gone by spring but then the trials need to start.

[EBH]

Totally expecting this to happen.

Days...days before Christmas.

It is like they don’t want us to celebrate Christmas.

Timing of surge...2 weeks after Thanksgiving. Timing to lockdowns 3 weeks. Cancel Christmas. Introduce

Covid Passport, not fully vaxxed if not triple vaxxed.

They are going to take a page right from Europe.

Saw this coming weeks ago before Thanksgiving. They were already floating this in early November, before there was even an Omicron.

[MarMema]

Thank you!!!

[MarMema]

There are tons of cases. And read carefully..that is what they will focus on.

When omicron moved into South Africa, it kicked delta into oblivion and hospitalizations for covid dropped 91%.

Omicron is a good thing.
