Duh.
And if you just stay home if you're stick, you do the same exact thing!

As a side note: Trump lies about silly things like how many jobs he created, or his inauguration crowd sizes, Biden lies that he can eradicate diseases. John Kerry and John Edwards lied during their campaign that if elected Christopher Reeves would get up and walk again. So lying about playing god is what dems do

Over 30 species have tested positive for covid...all mammals.

So this virus seems to easily jump from species to species who are mammals.

Is this a first in the history of "novel" viruses that it jumps to so many species in such a short time ?

I thought this thing was done?

Today we are at 1.5 million new cases worldwide.

The last peak in April was only 900,000

Cases are getting exponentially bigger. I mean what is happening? Are the figures being cooked? Is there more testing?

How many of these cases even have symptoms, and why is the death rate so low?

I think there is a plan to keep COVID a thing forever. Booster shots, masks, and lockdowns are a lifestyle for the elite, and they want to keep it that way. This thing was never going to be temporary.
The Delta variant emerged from the 1.4 billion unvaccinated in India. Delta is twice as contagious as the original virus and early variants.

Omnicron emerged from the 1,2 billion unvaccinated people in Africa. It is twice as contagious as Delta.

Vaccines did not provide immunity to variants that did not exist when developed, trialed or approved.

We have known since mid summer the efface of vaccines begins to wane at the 5-6 month mark. Only 25% of previously vaccinated have chosen to get a booster.

What vaccines are doing is reducing the likelihood of serious Covid.

In my state, 90% of those hospitalized with serious Covid right now are unvaccinated. The actual number is likely higher. People lie especially when they perceive they will not get the same level of care or just don’t want to hear about it.

There are now more treatments than existed in the past for those with serious symptoms.

There is no domestic or global plan to keep Covid in circulation.

Thus far the vaccination rate in the US has prevented a new variant from emerging in the US as it has in India and Africa. Who knows what’s commingled in Indonesia.

Anyone can post anything to social media and they do.

And Pfizer knew when they announced the vaccine with "protection up to 6 months".

Recent studies (not US based) show the vaccine wanes after 3 months just like the flu shot.
So those that ran out to get their 3rd shot in September are just as "unvaccinated" as those with no shots.
But those with shots still have that spiked protein circulating in their system.

My sister was getting tested twice per day in mid December. She got a positive and a negative result from PCR tests on taken on the same day, different locations and labs.

She is now testing 3x a day. She created a spread sheet, date, time, location and lab.

She is thrice vaccinated, retired and has no health conditions or symptoms.

She has lost her mind.

While vaccines are not preventing all infections they are preventing serious Covid in many people.

90% of serious Covid hospitalizations in my state are unvaccinated.

She has a lot of company though. And there's a 20% chance of the test producing the wrong result (that is per the FDA).

Seems to be and also strange that a bat virus that didn't transmit to human all of a sudden does.

Also required testing for flights. So yeah,..there is a Gigantic testing blitz. It's a captured audience.
The numbers are gonna skyrocket. Which, I guess, makes it a more accurate figure of positives.
Testing is not required for domestic flights. Nothing however prevents a domestic carrier from imposing tests.

Most countries require a negative test to allow entry. This includes the US and impacts returning travelers.
Several countries will not allow US passport holders to enter.
Some countries have banned all foreign entries.
