I’m betting Lina (Dora the Explorer) Hidalgo could barely suppress her glee when announcing this.

May the deceased R.I.P. and prayers up for comfort for his loved ones.

"30.000 Americans die every year from the ordinary flu. So why is this newsworthy?"

Right you are Bob... I was 74 when the flu put me in the hospital for 6 days.! That was three years ago... But I also have stage 4 COPD and must use oxygen while I sleep..

I'm now 77, and I'm sure they would be very please to call me a COVID victim if I should catch it...

Dude. You buy in to all of this?

Maybe you should turn off your TV for a while.

Take your mask off. Get some fresh air.

The variant just arrived here, so we don’t know if this is the first of hundreds or hundred thousands.

No, if you were clever with the choice of RNA templates you could do it with RT-PCR. It is my understanding that this is what they are doing— have a template for a specific sequence from three or more distinct regions of the virus... You know from the sequenced variants which regions are conserved (e.g. still present) and which won’t be amplified. This is not perfect, but it could be enough.

Proper grammar and formatting are your friends in trying to make your point.

Stop looking over the fence at what everyone else is doing.

Your busy-body stress is going to kill you.

I had the Hong Kong flu when I was a young man. I thought I was going to die. It never occurred to me to go to a hospital, I was just going to die at home if that’s what happened. I pulled through it. So I know the flu is no little thing but I will not take this vaccine they are pushing so very very hard. It’s like going to a car dealer and they really really want you to buy their “special” car. No thanks.

It is at least hundreds of thousands. Just look at all the vaccinated pro athletes who are suddenly testing positive. Last I heard The Washington Redskins had 16 players who are currently positive. It’s spreading like wildfire right now and no vaccine, mask, or anything else will stop it.

"Both Hidalgo and D.A. Kim Ogg have destroyed the county in less than two years."

Hidalgo functions as the county's chief executive and its emergency manager. She oversees a budget of over $4 billion.

Correct. Our station here in Tyler that they own is woke.

Article said “caused by the omicron variant” but call me skeptical.

That does not fit into the Biden agenda. Don’t expect for THAT FACT to be piped into our living rooms every night like the ridiculous Covid infection numbers are. Think about that. Real deaths versus hokey “infections” made by an unreliable test and they go for the hokey numbers.

Monoclonal antibodies don’t work against this variant. If you’re unlucky enough to have a severe case you’re screwed.
