  1. As of the 29th, the data (now corrected by the CDC) shows that the Omicron variant has not yet become the dominant variant in the U.S. That means the surging numbers we are currently seeing are of the Delta variant. It won't take long before the Omicron variant takes over as it is very easily transmitted. However, based upon the existing data in from South Africa, United Kingdom, we are seeing that those infected with Omicron are FAR LESS likely to need hospitalization and if they are hospitalized, the majority with Omicron are being admitted for other reasons than simple Omicron infection. At the end of the day, Omicron may actually be what ends this Pandemic. It needs to be allowed to take over from Delta and the deaths will drop like a rock. Most of the people who are infected with Omicron are able to weather the symptoms at home in 5 days. The media like ABC and others are using their megaphone to scare the daylights out of the population.

  3. Very good as Omicron is the weakest strain and this will bring herd immunity faster 👍🏽

  4. You honestly believe anyone is going to stick a q-tip up their nose in perpetuity just to leave their homes and live their lives? Not going to happen.

  5. Isolation days US 5 China 20 New Zealand 14.

    Covid deaths US 844,272 China 4,636 New Zealand 51.

    The CDC spread misinformation that the US death toll is 10-15K less than it really is.

    C'mon, it has been nearly 2 years. Start following New Zealand's pandemic leadership.
