Now the liberals are using covid to control the "expendable majority class"? Does that refer to white people? Its hard to keep up with the dog whistle stuff. I thought covid would just go quickly away if Biden became POTUS? Can't say that anymore. Its exploding this year just like last year. Different POTUS same big problem.

How about we take politics out of this. Its real, its all over the world. But we manage to deal with it like a 3rd world country.
How is it possible? The media. The left owns the media and controls the messaging on everything. Combine that with a dumbed down populace and it's actually pretty easy.

So you'll have to accept that you wont "get the politics out of it"
In the meantime I see promise with state and local governments choosing to go their own way irrespective of the wishes of the big bad federal government. And likewise people are seceding from their home states to states that better suit them.

Because the mutations of Covid-19 were becoming too confusing to list them under their medical descriptions.

Here's the medical description for the Delta variant: SARS-CoV-2 B.1.617.2
That's a lot more difficult to remember and repeat than Covid-19, Delta variant. Covid-19 itself is easier to remember than SARS-CoV-2 B.

To avoid public confusion, the CDC switched to using the Greek words for the letters in the Greek alphabet instead.

We are familiar with some of the letters of the Greek alphabet: Alpha, Beta,Delta, Gamma, Omega- but we are less familiar with others. Lambda is one of them. (Our word for alphabet is a contraction of the Greek letters Alpha and Beta.)

Medicine has used Greek letters as a shorthand description for a very long time.

The reason why you object to it is 'lamb' is a word we all know that infers helplessness, mildness, and peacefulness to you.

The word 'lamb' is part of our spoken language. Most Greek letters aren't a part of our commonly-spoken language.

Lambda is a BLOCKBUSTER variant. God only knows what it will mutate into


You anti-vazxers should be scared s***less, I'm vaccinated and I am scared of what's coming.


Stop politicizing what's going on and just get your vaccination now.


I had MrsM and I had 4 different Dr's appointments today at 2 different hospital systems. In both, I learned that one system went from over 30% of beds and the other over 40% at the height of this Pandemic. They both were down to zero for over a month and now are hovering at 10%, and climbing rapidly. All within the past 2 weeks and all (except one patient with extreme co-morbidities) NOT VACCINATED. All Delta


Again, God only knows what's going to happen when Lambda gets here on a bus-full of illegals!

And why we need to stay vigilant. Nobody wants to be in my shoes right now. My son - today was put on the bypass machine. Praying can get over this. Wether it comes from an illegal or a tourist or our own business men, or pilot we are getting very sick. Fl is on fire and everyone in a party mode. Lord help us.

I'm close to being ready for a booster shot and petrified that Biden isn't going to get one to us in time.

You can get a 3rd Pfizer if you'd like , that's what they're doing in Israel.

Some journalists already boosted themselves

Worry not.
Greek alphabet has 24 letters and we are not even to the middle of it. And then there are Latin and Hebrew alphabets. I'd say, towards next summer, we'll hit Hebrew Alef variant?
