Wingers yodeled with joy when Omicron evolved and whacked us. It helped them pretend that Biden’s anti-Covid measures were not effective.
Well, wingers will be sad to learn that the Omicron surge may be slowing already…
The apparent slowdown in East Coast cities offers reason for cautious optimism that the turning point could be near and that the omicron variant’s U.S. trajectory is similar to that of other countries.

Sorry wingers.
What herd immunity???
- COVID-19
Omicron variant: B.1.1.529
From the CDC and WHO:
- How easily does Omicron spread? The great increase in daily cases over the past several weeks is largely related to the omicron variant, which now represents about 98% of the COVID-19 cases in the country.
- What symptoms does Omicron produce? According to the World Health Organization, more evidence is emerging that the Omicron coronavirus variant is affecting the upper respiratory tract, causing milder symptoms than previous variants.
- How bad is it compared to Delta? A Kaiser study shows Omicron has half the risk of hospitalization, 74% less risk of ICU admission, and 91% less risk of death. However, the staggering rise in cases - over 1 million new cases each day - has led to a high number of total hospitalizations.
- Will vaccines work against Omicron? Current vaccines are expected to protect against severe illness, hospitalizations, and deaths due to infection with the Omicron variant. However, breakthrough infections in people who are fully vaccinated are likely to occur.
- Will treatments work against Omicron? Scientists are working to determine how well existing treatments for COVID-19 work. Based on the changed genetic make-up of Omicron, some treatments are likely to remain effective while others may be less effective.
CDC: Omicron variant
CDC Director remarks, Jan 12
It is not Biden*. Biden* hasn't done anything. It took 6 months before Trump had 4 million cases, and Biden* did 4 million last week, after a full year to fix the problem.
BTW the CDC says vaccines, masks and testing. are what's available, the same since Trump.
If I were you, I'd leave the science to the scientists. And I'd replace Dobby...err Fauci for making Biden* look so bad.
Wow, who'd a thunk you would stoop so low as to lie to America about Biden*, besides everyone here. Amirite?
