Covid: Third case of Omicron variant detected in the UK

 

[Iceman]

Still having a hard time understanding why people choose to not help themselves stay well, when the means are available. People have allowed political views to interfere with common sense.

People are even willing to risk death due to their politics. Extremely dumb situation.

Hopefully in time for my booster.

Its pathetic that America, with a quarter the population, has managed to stay ahead of India the entire time.

Guess that will be my booster.

India wasn't reporting its numbers for a bit so it could be much higher.

I think they are higher, judging by all the news reports of the untreated dead.

Welp, it is in North America. Definitely in the US. And specifically, my state, Michigan.

Thats genuinely sad. Sounds like he had a good wholesome retirement goal. I wish he'd made different choices.

I got to say, I truly feel bad for all the anxiety and stress that people feel regarding Covid and now this new strain. That fear in some ways has completely consumed their entire lives. The media hasn’t helped at all from CNN to Fox and so on. They’ve done nothing but completely divide our country and turn us against our neighbors. Of course we as a people don’t make the situation any better because of how quick the mistreatment/disrespect flies back and forth between people in a crisis.

Personally, I’m so fortunate to work in hospital, deal with patients and have friends/family in the medical field as well on both sides of the spectrum. I get the benefit of being exposed to the “left” way of thinking, the “right” way of thinking, the pro vax logic, anti vax logic and those in the middle. Even though I live in New York which is about as blue as you can get, my circle of friends families and colleagues for the most part have been respectful to each other’s views on this Covid/Vaccine because for a variety of reasons, it’s an extremely complex/emotional subject.

There’s so much misinformation out there from both parties regardless of which side you are standing on. If there’s one benefit from Covid and Vaccines, it’s the fact that it’s made it even more clear that we are not a country of understanding. I appreciate seeing people for who they really are.

You have one side calling the other stupid/crazy for not getting a shot and the other side calling them ignorant sheep for following along with whatever their told.

Meanwhile the powers that be just sit back and further divide the country just like they have been doing for years now.

Funny how we seem to get these new 'severe' variants appear, right around Christmas time isn't it.....

I mean, sure, if you only want to focus on the Alpha/UK variant and now Omicron. Delta didn't come out till the middle of 2021. The Beta/Brazil variant also started up around the time of the UK variant last year.

Already got my third shot. No reaction yet.
