We reported on the announcement of a new COVID variant which they are now calling the Omicron variant.
The variant was just discovered this week, but already you can hear the race to paint it in the worst light possible, suggesting that there was a lot to be concerned about because it was “heavily mutated,” that immunity and the vaccines might not protect against it. We saw the Dow take a huge plunge immediately after, likely in part because of thinking that this news could lead back to more government restrictions and problems.
The Biden administration reacted in a chaotic fashion. First, Dr. Anthony Fauci said

Never let a crisis go to waste. Panic and chaos produces engagement, clicks, and ad revenue; 'very mild cases' and 'extremely mild' don't.

Covid was never about public health!!!!!!
It was always about dictator-wanna-be bureaucrats seeing how far they could squash the peasants before the peasants said "enough" and started fighting back!!!
And thanks to brain-dead lie-berals, they have succeeded so far beyond their wildest dreams!!!

It doesn't matter that the Earth is getting cooler as a solar maximum approaches. It doesn't matter that BLM and CRT are racism on steroids. It doesn't matter that vaccines are worthless against the China virus, masks are about as effective as a lucky rabbit's foot, or that the new strains are less and less dangerous. Truth is what our Marxist masters say it is, and it no longer needs a relationship with the real world. Today, insisting that "facts" should be what is actually happening is racist, fascist, and unscientific.

This version is LESS HARMFUL, as I expected.
The Enemedia hysterics are just more BS, as per their usual behavior. Fact free "news".

All they have to do to keep this political operation going is find a "new variant" every once in a while.

Everyone is saturated with the lies about COVID. This is the very reason that people (along with other happenings) are saying it's time to change administrations and put this clown (Fauci) in jail. This man is insane.

The only thing I care about this at all is if the seminar I’m supposed to teach next week at a large resort/conference venue is going to be canceled again. I’m retired but agreed to go back to teach the classes which were canceled last year.

I have yet to read the first thing about the symptoms produced by this variant. Is it more deadly? Less deadly? Mildly symptomatic? High risk of hospitalization?
My suspicion is that the absence of that data means it is less likely to make one seriously ill since we are hearing nothing about that.

I would love to see a state, any state, who has the guts to end all of this. Everything optional, masks, vaccines etc. No Vaccine mandates. Heavy penalties on businesses that don't. Fill the hospitals with Ivermectin and HCQ. (On Demand) And announce that this Pandemic is over. It's no worse than an annual flu. This is how you stop the Politicians from keeping us under their control.

Slow down in America, nope. Expect China Joe to implement full scale lockdowns at Fauci's request.

Personally, I believe that none of these alleged variants exist. I also do not believe any statistics that come out of our totally corrupt government.

You can only cry wolf so many times before the electorate gets wise to your scare tactics...I'm heartened by the folks who have dismissed the masks and distancing...the control factor is wearing thin and WE are not buying the fake media's narrative...as for fauci...he's lost all credibility and serves no purpose now...the health ministry in South Africa said the mutant is weak and the worse you can get is a slight case of the flu...so soros will have to figure another way to shut down our economy for china... Merry Christmas!!

Just re-arrange the letters of "Omicron" ... and you get "Moronic"! Which is exactly what this whole new "fear pornography" is all about.
Also, as reported, the WHO skipped over several Greek letters in the ancient alphabet like "nu" (which means "So?" or "Well?" in Yiddish) and even "xi" ... because it sounded too Chinese. They even passed over the 9th letter "iota" because it sounded small.
Oh Yeah these people should be taken real seriously!

"Don't worry, be happy." I'm serious, that's the proper way to handle this fake pandemic. If not for Fauci and government's extreme overreaction, we would not have felt even a tremor over COVID. Their problem is that the facts are making themselves known in spite of their best efforts to create the alternate reality. We should have simply cut China off at the knees and dared them to try something like this again. Thanks to the stupidity of the Biden Clown Show, we are no longer in a position to rattle a sabre at anybody.

Omicron afflicted four tourists visiting - I believe, Botswana - from outside the South African countries. They apparently brought it with them from elsewhere. All fully vaccinated.

Apparently Omicron is highly transmissible and, if like other virus mutations, less deadly. Apparently viruses follow that pattern as they mutate.

They don't much care what you are afraid of, as long as you STAY AFRAID! Some virus, some bogeyman, some dreaded rise, rape or rebellion. Just stay afraid. That is how the blackguards keep you under their control. That's a British term; look up the pronunciation and then use it every dang chance you get. FJB.
