NY Post:

Highly infectious new COVID strain from China that led to massive spike in hospitalizations has spread to the US — including NYC
 By Ronny Reyes   
Published May 27, 2025, 12:52 p.m. ET


A new, highly infectious COVID-19 strain that has left to a spike in hospitalizations in China has now been detected in the US, including cases in New York City, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The new NB.1.81 variant was first detected in the US in late March and early April among international travelers arriving at airports in California, Washington State, Virginia and New York City, with additional cases reported in Ohio, Rhode Island and Hawaii.

The CDC has said there are too few cases in the US to be properly tracked in the agency’s variant estimates, but experts are warning that the virus’ run in China shows it spreads more quickly than other dominant strains of the respiratory infection. ...

If this happens, don't be surprised to hear of me going postal.

  • The problem with everything is they try and make it better without realizing the old way is fine.

No "experts" are calling for masks.  Only people who want to control you do. 

Trump needs to nip this nonsense in the bud before we hear talk of Flattening the curve BS.

  • Dems-greatest existential threat to USA republic!
And they just announced today the end of recommending the COVID vaccine for certain groups of people.

One thing is true, moving forward, we can expect a new bio weapon to be unleashed on people throughout the world, all with the intent of reducing humanity.  I believe we will see  progressive strengthening of pathogens, with ever increasing mortality rates.  The intent is to reduce humanity's numbers one way or the other, and the USA is involved with the effort.

So, when I say we no longer hold life to be valued as we once did, we are more life Russia today, it is because to many people with money and power want it to be so.  That is the UGLY TRUTH for our future.

Another lockdown would bring down society IMO. Look at how much harm the first one inflicted on us?

Are we all sufficiently terrified? OMG, what are the symptoms?!?!? Skin sloughing off? Feet turning black? Intestines leaking out the belly button?

Oh. Cough, fever ... yes, anything else?
Sore throat and fatigue?

Oh, the humanity.

Yeah, well, don't riot on my street unless you want the survivors to carry off the bodies.

FAFO, and I don't own a backhoe. Birds gotta eat...

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.

ROFL!  At first light, you'd have to gather all the bodies into a pile and BURN THEM!!

BIG FIRE!! See for miles.

Better pass out masks. Don't want to ingest ashes.

That was one of the biggest fallacies last time. The Liberals were screaming about how DEADLY! Covid is, while I would drive past homeless camps under the overpass with over a hundred vagrants every single day, none of them wearing a mask. They kept one in a pocket which they would use as a ticket to enter stores. And I am absolutely sure either NONE or very few of them knew or cared about some stupid 'vaccination'.

And yet, they did not die. As far as I could tell most of them were healthy and NOT SICK. So I kept wondering, where are all the bodies in the streets? If this thing is super-contagious and super-deadly, if Covid is going to END CIVILIZATION, then why are the homeless thriving with no sanitizer and no hygiene in general? They were having a blast! Drinking, drugging, and sexing each other.

If it were a 'real' deadly epidemic, like E-bola, that camp would have wiped out with bodies everywhere.

That is just point number 56 how I knew that masks were bullshit, 'distancing' is bullshit, and the vaccinations seemed to make no difference at all. The whole thing was a nationwide game of 'Simon Says' by Fauci and the government just to test what they could get away with. Point number 57 is that all seasonal Flu cases disappeared. At the time, anyone who coughed, anyone feeling sick, had Covid. There was no other answer.
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.

The Amish came out of the shamdemic pretty well, too. Homeless and Amish. Go figure.

Getting a virus through the pores of an N-95 mask is like throwing a BB through an open boxcar door. The size difference is that great. I knew that was BS right away. Were they limiting elevators to one or two people? Most stairs would not allow one to pass without being closer than 6 feet.

Even watching TV (NCIS, from that era) they are not wearing masks in the vehicle, but put them on outside it? WTF?

Both live and work in conditions where they are routinely exposed to potential pathogens. I'd wager their immune systems kick butt!

One of the healthiest people I knew pumped septic systems for a living.
I don't think there were many germs he hadn't been exposed to, but he was almost never sick.

If COVID had been as deadly as they tried to make out (and masks effective at filtering it out of the air) then there would have been guys in full PPE, biohazard bagging all the masks that were blowing around shopping center parking lots.
