COVID OMICRON Thread

[KG1]

Lake County has been deep blue for a long time.



















Oh, you meant on the COVID map.

Sadly true. But in this case, it's a potential good thing.

Does this signal the start of the tribunals concerning the crimes against humanity?

Everyone in government who pushed for mask or vaccine mandates should be held accountable. And laws should be changed to limit executive authority for emergency orders in Indiana and at the federal level.

There needs to be a better definition of “Emergency” that acknowledges that an emergency can’t last 2 ****ing years. Maybe 30’days. 60 tops. After that it’s no longer an Emergency, and if the conditions which caused the emergency linger beyond the time limit, it’s an issue legislatures should solve.

And while we’re solving ****, let’s not allow voices to be stifled, especially dissenting opinions of experts in the domain of interest. That scam they got going on between the fact-checkers and social media needs to stop too.

You mean "opinion" checkers. They've admitted in court they aren't really talking about fact.

The sole purpose of “fact-checkers” is so they they have cover to go after influencers who don’t toe the party line.

Anyone, not condemned to live in a blue state, that doesn't move to limit a governor's emergency powers by at least requiring legislative approval after a very short period - and closing a loophole like Indiana had where the legislature could not call itself into session - will almost certainly live to regret it

So true.

Looking good.

Mostly blue, some yellow, no orange or red. It means the spread has slowed to almost nothing, comparatively. I am expecting at or near 100% blue next week.



If we look at ICU beds, under 20% are available, but that is deceiving since of 75% are non-Covid and only 4.7% are Covid, and that's the lowest since last July. We are not quite at the low levels we were then, but it is coming and this time, given the fact that more people have recently had the Covid, I expect any future "surges" to be be more akin to seasonal flus.

Also, Omicron is listed as 100% of the cases. That is a really good thing given how comparatively mild it is. Again, eradication was never in the cards, but, through multiple means, having "just another flu" that is treatable is the path out.

I'm about ready to call this thing.
