Yep.

[seacoaster]

in other news, omicron's cousin isn't going away quietly just yet. as usual, europe first:
https://www.cnbc.com/id/107029736?view= ... idappshare
china of course in lockdown in various provinces. make your bets.

I have a friend in Portugal, who says they are being told to mask up and get ready for a spike over the next few weeks.

“France, Switzerland, Italy and the Netherlands are also seeing Covid infections start to rise again, aided and abetted by the relaxation of coronavirus measures and the spread of subvariant BA.2.”

That’s strange…….

It really is because taking steps to mitigate the spread doesn’t work.

I bet 7 masks will do the trick this time. Outside too. Alone.

From my Twitter feed this morning:

(from John Burn-Murdoch)

NEW: I’m not sure people appreciate quite how bad the Covid situation is in Hong Kong, nor what might be around the corner. First, an astonishing chart. After keeping Covid at bay for two years, Omicron has hit HK and New Zealand, but the outcomes could not be more different.

Get vaccinated...

Massive trial shows COVID rapid tests excel at detecting silent cases
In a trial in 73 workplaces, the tests detected hundreds of people with asymptomatic COVID-19 and generated very few false positives.

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586- ... 1646620363

A large-scale testing campaign in Canadian workplaces shows that the regular use of rapid antigen tests is highly effective at ferreting out asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections1.

Rapid antigen tests identify proteins on the virus’s surface and are faster and cheaper than more-sensitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests, which can pinpoint tiny amounts of the virus by detecting its RNA. To determine the usefulness of rapid antigen tests, Laura Rosella at the University of Toronto in Canada and her colleagues studied a programme that implemented twice-a-week COVID-19 screening at Canadian companies that ranged from fewer than 100 employees to more than 10,000.

From January 2021 to June 2021, nearly 322,000 rapid tests were conducted at 73 workplaces. Testing yielded 604 positives; 473 of those were confirmed by PCR to be true positives. Only about one in 4,300 rapid-test results was confirmed by PCR as a false positive, which the authors note was not enough to disrupt workplace operations.

Of the 116 workplace-testing organizers who responded to a survey, 99% said they were either satisfied or very satisfied with the programme.

It doesn’t say much about the severity of this strain.

Think that’s telling too. Must be the Gelvini strain:

Next wave is coming. Let’s hope it’s up and down like Omicron. Waste water samples aren’t good. All these infected non vaccinated folks just continue to contribute to the problem.

Vaccinated still get the virus and have to make pee-pee and poo-poo.

The good news for lefty hysterics is they get to keep their masks on…making lemonade from lemons, man, got to keep up!! The virtue signal is strong with the mask.

Yep. Nothing to see here. Have a good weekend.

likewise. Busy weekend, donating power reds tomorrow, Hs practice then watching navy/jhu in evening, HS scrimmages, sons college game Sat, church and MIL birthday celebration on Sun.

This Corona thread doesn’t get the heavy workout like it used to. Wonder why….

Anyway, this morning comes news that the latest incantation of a lunatic woke Democrat thrust into a role he’s entirely unskilled for is New York City’s new health commissioner, the wondrous Dr. Ashwin Vasan.

When he’s not saying the police need to be defunded, global warming will cause seas to rise 20 feet, kids under 9 need to be taught gender theory, and corporations are evil, Dr. Vasan believes children under the age of 5 should be masked forever. Because risks or something.

Aren’t kids under 5 basically immune from Covid?!?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... ITELY.html

Forever Mask Democrats.

Great branding for elections.

Compare this hysterical Branch Covidien woke lunatic to the steady, measured, optimistic guidance of Florida’s Dr. Lapado, who daily reminds Floridians to eat right, exercise, and get out in the sun.

Honestly, if Republicans win New York on November 8, I won’t be surprised in the least.

Might be something to do with the slope of this graph....and the Ukraine crisis...and of course LIA !!!

https://ourworldindata.org/covid-hospitalizations

Seriously, there's some worrisome data about the next variant, but fortunately it appears that if you're fully vaccinated and boosted the chances of hospitalization are quite low.

Good news for those keeping up with their vaccinations. Not so good for those who aren't...

What are they gonna change the name too? When the "divorce" is final.

The "bill and melinda gates foundation" is all over this welfare messaging, mind control.

amazing that folks keep on listening to creeps like Epstein....mean....William Gates.

IVERMECTIN DECREASES COVID MORTALITY

I’m ahead of the cdc in science once again!!!

https://conservativeplaylist.com/2022/0 ... mortality/

Regarding health related national security threats ..I’m just destroying the cdc in the competence area!!

1) ahead of cdc in noticing the leader of the free world is dangerously suffering from semi advanced dementia

2) I was the only one who noticed hordes of unvaccinated people flooding the border and spreading into the country
Not only Covid but also unvaccinated for TB, Polio, Measles, Mumps, Tetanus and the rest. A huge health danger for citizens of the USA.

3) Ivermectin saves lives

4) the Amish did absolutely nothing recommended by the cdc and had no excess Covid Death.

5) Millenials had 85% increase in excess death rate in 2021 after vaccine mandates.

I am a science major that has great ability to see the big picture.

Mr. I am a science major, did you even read the study?

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamain ... le/2789362

Conclusions and Relevance In this randomized clinical trial of high-risk patients with mild to moderate COVID-19, ivermectin treatment during early illness did not prevent progression to severe disease. The study findings do not support the use of ivermectin for patients with COVID-19.
