This is a fucking joke at this point. It's an endemic flu bug. The fuck is Fauci gonna do about it? My SIL and BIL have covid right now... VACCINATED!!! My entire household is sick, but we're all fine after being around them for 3 days.
So sick of this shit and Fauci. I think violence is the only option at this point. This guy has zero authority to dictate anything to the public. Put on a damn lab coat and do something you cunt.
..."...Right now, the key question is: are any of the new measures actually necessary?
Yes, there remains much we don’t know about Omicron, but the early signs are distinctly encouraging. Many patients have reportedly recovered quickly from what have been very mild symptoms.
Southern Africa, where the variant emerged, has largely avoided panicking. One German epidemiologist, Professor Karl Lauterbach, who is running to be Germany’s next health minister, has even said that a mild strain would be an ‘early Christmas gift’...."...
The South African doctor who first discovered the Omicron variant says she was pressured by European governments to not reveal that it was mild.
Angelique Coetzee let slip the bombshell revelation during an interview with Germany’s Welt.
“I was told not to state publicly that it was a mild illness. I have been asked to refrain from making such statements and to say that it is a serious illness. I declined,” she said.
Coetzee explained how under the World Health Organization’s own definition, the strain perfectly fitted the bill for a mild variant.
“The definition of mild Covid-19 disease is clear, and it is a WHO definition: patients can be treated at home and oxygen or hospitalization is not required,” she said, adding: “A serious illness is one in which we see acute pulmonary respiratory infections: people need oxygen, maybe even artificial respiration. We saw that with Delta – but not with Omicron. So I said to people, “I can’t say it like that because it’s not what we’re seeing.””
“The rhinovirus works its evolutionary mischief by keeping its host mobile — and hence typically in contact with other susceptible persons.” It achieves this by, for example, staying in the nasal mucosa, and not invading the bloodstream.
By contrast, in the case of an insect-borne disease such as yellow fever, plague or malaria, killing the victim is fine as long as they get bitten first so the disease can spread. Dr Shanks and Dr Pyles wrote: “Since malaria is propagated by biting mosquitoes, the parasite pays no penalty for an immobilized host — especially one too weak to swat the insect vector.” But killing the vector would be a mistake and sure enough, such diseases kill people but not insects. Nor do sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV and syphilis become mild, though they kill very slowly and after a long period of latency: they need to wait until you change partners.
An anomaly is the 1918 flu, which was mild until August 1918, then turned nasty. Professor Ewald thinks this exception proves the rule. In the peculiar conditions of the trenches, severe cases spread faster than mild ones because they were evacuated to field hospitals and home, infecting others along the way, while mild cases stayed put. In other words, nurses and stretcher-bearers behaved like mosquitoes. ...
Yet here surely there is a worrying lesson about the past two years. In the weird world of lockdown, severe strains of Covid were favored by selection. If you tested positive but felt fine you were told to stay at home. If you fell badly sick you went to hospital, where you gave your illness to healthcare workers and other patients. So mutants that were more infectious, such as Alpha and Delta, paid no penalty for being just as virulent, maybe more so. The natural evolution of Covid into just another mild cold was therefore possibly delayed by at least a year.

It clearly does not work to stop transmission at all.

Another big yawn. Like Delta. And like covid after the first 2 weeks and no one died.
