Omicron Has Killed As Many People As … Alec Baldwin's Gun
2021-12-28
[Howie Carr] Dementia Joe Biden could have gotten America’s attention a little more forcefully Tuesday if only he’d just led with the latest ominous omicron death toll:

"My fellow Americans, today I regret to inform you that as of this morning, about a month after it was first discovered, omicron has now killed as many Americans as ... Alec Baldwin’s gun. Or Ted Kennedy’s Oldsmobile."

He could have paused for effect to let that grim milestone sink in for all 330 million Americans. Then he could have begun again:

"By Christmas, only four days away, I am informed by the all-knowing Dr. Fauci that the U.S. death toll will likely equal that at O.J. Simpson’s home in Brentwood on that grim evening back in 1994."

When the news of the death in Houston broke Tuesday, it got the most play of any passing in Texas since Nov. 22, 1963. It was a two-fer — the guy had had the virus before, so the TV "experts" all got to shout in unison how antibodies didn’t save him and you better get a booster or two or three. The company line, in other words.

It was another bleak day — for Dementia Joe’s poll ratings. The panic porn-industrial complex is just not clicking on all cylinders anymore. They can’t keep their stories straight, and I’m not just talking about the trademark Biden incoherence.

#4  procopius

there are several testing methods that can ID the Omicron, e.g. the antigen and the nucleic acid

however, I don't know much about how each city's supply of test kits stands; it is likely that the variant will spread much, much faster than it can be tested

by early Feb 2022 or so it should be almost ubiquitous in the USA
