So coronavirus is definitely going to kill a few of us.

[Dan Druff]

Anyway yeah, I was shocked when I read that "73% of all new cases are Omicron" news. I knew Omicron was going to take over for Delta, but I thought we were looking at something like January 1 before it significantly became a factor.

Nope. December 19th and it's already the vast majority of new cases.

I do see the government media pussyfooting around whether or not it's less severe, yet we're seeing little hints dropped here and there that this is the case. I wish we could just get some honesty about the severity thing. I have a feeling this is being held back in order to encourage vaccination and boosting. If the narrative gets out that Omicron is significantly less deadly, then you're going to see a big decline in vaccination enthusiasm.

I'm seeing more and more talk that COVID is headed in the direction of eventually being a common cold, and that Omicron is a major stepping stone in that journey. Would be funny if that's the end result of all this.

Let's say that occurs -- and happens fairly quickly (say, by December 2022). Are we going to see an unrolling of all the COVID politics and COVID-related jobs which have been created? I have a feeling the fear porn will stay with us no matter what.

I am not vaccinated, in pretty good health for my age, pretty sure I haven't gotten it at all until 2 days ago when I started showing symptoms and yesterday when I officially tested positive.

Take what you will from that.

For your age, aren't you under 40 ?

Most people my age dont workout and maintain a diet like I do.

You could move to Europe. They seem to have the right idea re: privacy with the GDPR:

I'm not a big fan of how Europe does a lot of things, but they are 100% correct regarding how they handle both privacy violations and shady tricks aimed at consumers. They're also correct regarding tipping culture (pay all jobs what they're worth, and no tipping).

The above is an example of what I wish we had in the US.

So US government sanctioned monopolies aren’t a feature but a bug? Gosh.

Army to announce it has developed a single vaccine that protects from ALL variants of COVID and SARS

Always a better vaccine.

Say goodbye to Pfizer and Moderna profits.

What she's actually recommending is even more strict:

1) everyone wears medical-grade surgical masks

2) everyone gets vaccinated

3) everyone tests themselves before they go out in public.

Do you agree with her stance, Dwai?

I may of waited to long to get vaccinated, ya think.
I'm undecided on what to do now that I'm surrounded by cases. Do I get the first dose of pfizer and see how far I can make it without infection.
or
Should I go full dork mode hmmmm.
If this is Omni maybe it departs as fast as it arrived

Anyhow yea i'am surrounded by entire households incl family that have what i assume to be the Omni strain. I haven't been updated on whether it's actually mild or any of that but it's EVERYWHERE. It may even be the Delta strain since there's so little vigilance

My family that's infected when I mentioned CV in the past their response was "it's a bunch of bullshit". I told him I've looked at this from all angles and i'm almost certain that as of now the best play is to get vax'd via Pfizer.
He didn't budge, he fucked around and is finding out.

Why Pfizer over Moderna.

I figured it just by watching Israel's vaccine roll out. The CMO of Moderna was Israeli and they wouldn't touch that vax w a ten foot pole.

Once you get bit by the first shot, they got you.

You'll be getting another in 6 months, so just know what you are in for.

I think it's never "too late" to get vaccinated... get Pfizer or Moderna. Are there risks? Yes. But as poker players, we evaluate risks on the regular; the risk of getting COVID is far more likely than any potential vaccine side-effects.

dwai only posts things if he thinks they makes intelligent, educated people look as dumb and helpless as he feels.

so id not expect a good faith response from him, personally.

unless you have questions about the times he got humiliated at school by black kids for sport. then he tends to open up like a lotus at dawn.

Gee, the GOP aren't a bunch of sheep, they all individually, on their own, using their own individual "research",
decided their GED is better than an MD from Cornell (Actually 1000's of MD's from all across the nation, combined.)
& Not because they watch RW BS,............🐑Baa, 🐑Baa 🐑Baa, (& calling anyone who follows science a sheep is just sad.)

But, since the right has 0 policies this is all they have. Turning people like Fauci into villain's,
turning a murderer into a hero and taking anecdotal stories, and trying to make mountains out of mole hills.
Gee 800k died have died, but but this bitch had sore arm for a week, so don't take it.

What about the billions of people worldwide who didn't take it and are fine and now protected?
If you get omicron, you are 20 times more likely to die w/out the vax.
If you are scared, you can't even feel the prick, your arm is sore, but I never felt sick.

I'm going to give the guy below a 10 out of 10 as a trusted source. He understands the political and corporate influence, the difference in the way the media treated Biden vs Trump etc.
Bookmark add and all that.

Speaking of boosters did you know that the #1 and #2 in charge of the FDA's vaccine division have resigned in order to speak out? Me neither.
Let that sink in, the top 2 people have resigned in order to speak out. Imagine how cushy of a job they gave up and what that does to their future prospects in the corporate world.
That's so insane and the media ignored them.
They must have an important message, here it is.

I don't want their resignation to be in vain, i guess ill schedule an appointment to get vaccinated.
