#3 Nothing "normal" about this entire pandemic from its very beginnings to now, and to the future.

#4 In a correct world, leftists would be told "you voted for this (COVID). You are free to take whatever measures you wish out of your own pockets and be informed that freaking out about masks or vaccine passports will get you exiled to an iceberg."

#5 Endemic. Not pandemic.

The jig's up: the vaccines have failed, and now we're looking at an extremely infectious, relatively benign version of the seasonal flu

#6 It is game over. Fauxi, Gates and the worldwide leftist cabal look like the guy at the p0ker table who went all in and lost and now refuses to get up and leave. The game goes on around them and they don't get why they are dealt out.

#7
Omicron is simply Biden as the Man behind the curtain in OZ.

The Junta desperately needs deflection from Biden/Harris/Pelosi and their growing stupidity.

An Omicron will give them and the Media something to distract many with thru the 2022 mid-terms.

It is 2023-24 that will be the real problems for the Far Left Liberals.

#8 Omocron ain't going to give them anything outside of the lying MSM.

#9 They will use the "pandemic" to steal more elections, silence critics, and enrich themselves.

#10 How come no one can tell you what variant you have when you get test results?

#11 @warthogswife : The standard PCR tests (which have their issues) are looking for bits of RNA which distinguish SARS-COV-2 from other viruses. They apparently are NOT looking for the other bits that distinguish the variants (alpha, delta, omicron, eieio) from one another. Until and unless such a test is developed, you have to put the sample into an actual gene sequencer to find out what you've got, which is a good deal slower and more expensive. So they are likely only doing that on a limited sample of cases.

#12 Bio weapon of a different strain? Possibly to keep the fear level. Which does not rule out a mutation, guessing there...
