Poll of the Day > 1st Omicron Variant Found in the US...

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://news.yahoo.com/first-confirmed-case-of-omicron-in-the-us-185518322.html

Oh-Oh, will this be like the end of 2019 all over again?

The individual was a fully vaccinated traveler who returned from South Africa on Nov. 22 and tested positive on Nov. 29, Fauci said. The person, who has not been publicly identified, is self-quarantining and experiencing mild symptoms, which Fauci said appear to be improving. Contact tracing has been conducted, Fauci added, and all of the person's close contacts have tested negative so far.

Much like your beliefs, parroting of lies.

1st case found, oddly strategically, all over Canada.

Its already at the point of community spread and likely has been for many days.

I know you believe one lie and if you are that gullible, how many other lies have you fallen for?

I know you have the belief that all your facts are true with unwavering, albeit misplaced, faith.

I cant wait until we get the Top Gun variant and everyone starts doing random 4G inverted dives everywhere.

People who are dumb enough to think that just because theyre fully-vaccinated, theyre superior to others, including the virus itself.

wow it takes very little for you to view someone as the other and dismiss them. If they were fully vaccinated then they had every right to travel

By what metric?

Omicron is the 15th letter of the greek alphabet (I.E., the 15th known variant of Coronavirus).

God is the alpha (1st letter) and the omega (last letter).

Therefore god is stronger since it is both the beginning and the end, while omicron is only the middle.

Or I was just bored and thought too much about what @BEERandWEED said...

What if power is normally distributed across the Greek alphabet, meaning the middle is significantly greater than either extreme?

They found a second in Minnesota.

i wonder if the symptoms have been found to be so mild compared to other forms of Covid 19 that its already been here but no one was looking for it.

lmao the same people who let government take total control of when they can go out, how they should dress, what nonvoluntary experimental drugs to take, think they still have "rights".

It's not really a matter of "looking for it" in a specific sense. Any time anyone sequences the genome of a Covid sample, they're looking for any variations (IIRC, the genome is around 54,000 bp, so it's very easy to analyze for any changes from the established norm), not just for ones that have already been identified. If it's more likely than others to cause asymptomatic infections, that would make it less likely to be caught by such sequencing efforts (by simple virtue of the fact that asymptomatic cases so often go completely undetected, let alone being detected and sequenced), but it's unlikely that it's a matter of "we didn't know to look for it before so we didn't see it" because sequencing makes note of all variations.

But they didn't let the government take total control of any of those things. Just an appropriate, limited level of control in specific situations where failing to follow those instructions put others at significant risk.

What is it with the anti-vaxx loonies exaggerating the situation so badly? "Wear a mask" is not "total control over how you should dress," no matter how melodramatically you sigh when you're told to wear one.

The problem is governments rarely let go of their control once they have it. They always want more. Australia is a great example of where things are starting to get out of hand.

How so? The pandemic isn't over. It's to be expected that efforts to bring the pandemic under control would be similarly ongoing.

vaccines mean nada...you can still get and spread it with them. When will people understand this.

Maybe the Vaccine limits the severity of it

I just recently watched a video of a bunch of cops dragging a woman off a park bench and cuffing her on the ground. Why? What was her horrible crime? . . . She lifted her mask for a brief second to take a sip of tea.
That's just one of many acts of lunacy to be filmed over there recently.

that would make sense but we dont know for certain yet

for months people insisted that the virus couldnt propagate among schoolchildren and many people had to learn the hard way how false that was

its not good to make assumptions until more can be known. A couple weeks from now well have a much better idea

I flatly dont believe you. Post this supposed video. If it happened the way you describe then thats fucked up and more light should be shined on that.

lol yeah that's bullshit

Looked it up and sure enough its footage from an Australian right wing troll named Avi Yemeni who has falsified footage in the past and is even being sued by his own family members over all his lies as a far right media influencer

Basically the Australian version of project veritas

I can't hear about this variant without thinking about that horrible, HORRIBLE game.

Oh hey, debunked without me even having to do anything. How convenient.

Got any non-falsified examples?

This is a pretty terrible view on it. Just because theyre vaccinated doesnt mean they cant carry. Even worse, they might not show symptoms, whereas unvaccinated usually do, and would know to stay home. Theyve built a pedestal for the vaccinated to preach from and to get away with doing things nobody currently should be, if we believe this whole thing is as bad as they say it is.

Still wouldn't matter, because the Greek version of the "Name of God" actually includes an Iota as well. And Iota is also from the middle.
