Yesterday's US total - 475k
Today (so far) - 525k
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

And here is the dilemma for the propagandists.  Do they assign all these new cases to the unjabbed, blaming them for the spike?  Or do they claim the reason hospitalizations and deaths are low is because the jabs are minimizing symptoms, essentially admitting that the vast majority of these new cases are among the jabbed?

Or most likely, do they claim both.


My daughter's co-worker just died from COVID the other day.  I'm not so sure that the Omicron variant is any milder.  (I still don't know if there is specific testing for a particular variant). Testing is now by appointment only and we have seen a huge spike. According to the stats our county has seen a jump in cases by 248% and cases in FL up by over 330%.  **nononono*
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

But I also believe that people are reacting hysterically (by reporting to hospitals when they really don't need to) due to being bombarded with fear porn for the last two years.
Yep. It is hysteria deliberately engineered by Democrats to keep society in chaos until the midterms. Democrats are NEVER, never ever, going to let go of COVID no matter what happens. 'Science' (as Fauci keeps saying) has nothing to do with it. COVID is their meal ticket. It's their 'get out of jail free' card for voter fraud.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

My sympathies to the family. That's what I wonder: how the heck do they know what's Delta, Omicron or whatever we're supposed to call the "original" form of the virus. I don't believe the tests make that distinction. I also don't think the tests are weeding out typical winter colds from Omicron.

Beginning in December, they were supposed to replace that test with the new ones that differentiated between the two.  But the at-home test I took only showed Covid.

I have had flu before, and it was many times worse than what I am experiencing now.  I believe the 450k number is probably a bit higher.  But I also believe that people are reacting hysterically (by reporting to hospitals when they really don't need to) due to being bombarded with fear porn for the last two years.

I am absolutely certain that people are going to the hospitals when they don't need to, simply because they get a technical positive test result.  I went by the ER of a local hospital on Dec. 23 with a friend who needed medical care.  We went into the ER - but didn't stay very long because the wait would have been 5 hours, and there were a few people coughing in there who looked honestly sick - and most of the people who were there were there (a) for covid-19 reasons, and (b) looked perfectly healthy.  They were there because the constant fear pron has caused them to panic and act hysterically.

A hospital is the very last place I would go no matter how sick I was. I am better off with my c-pap machine, an O2 sensor, and one of those breathing exercise thingies.  Heck, I would go to a vet before I went to a hospital.

I have said all along that the worst place to put an infectious COVID patient is in an enclosed, crowded hospital. They will spread the virus to everyone in that building, and the workers will take that virus, spread it to every one of their family members, and continue the chain of infection.

That's why the constant bellyaching over "we can't overcrowd the hospitals! That's why we have to restrict everything you do!" is absurdity. In a sane world, the hospitals would turn infectious patients away before they set foot in the door.

The absurdity of allowing patients with active Covid symptoms into hospitals (but not treating them) while at the same time barring admission to unjabbed persons who show no signs of Covid illness.

Definitely don't go to the hospital.

It was all that last year, too.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I trust the drug that may not be mentioned but is available at Rural King is effective against Omicron and the next variant to appear.

If you're so worried about the virus, move to China where you're locked down and taken away to a camp behind barbed wire. You'll be glad you did.

I wonder if this was a record number of tests, too....
