Dr. Michael Osterholm warned viewers of Morning Joe that a sharp spike in Covid-19 infections in the coming three to four weeks means “we’re going to have a hard time keeping everyday life operating.” The Director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota and member of President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 Advisory Board appeared on MSNBC Thursday morning to discuss the sharp rise in coronavirus cases brought about by the Omicron variant and new CDC guidelines that shorten the recommended time to quarantine for asymptomatic individuals following a positive test. CDC Director Dr. Rochelle

If these so-called experts are appearing on the lame stream media channels, then they are in the government's back pocket.

That is why the push for home test kits-to ramp up the case numbers again since the PCR tests are being decommissioned tomorrow. The Dems are running the 2020 Covid playbook again page for page! Gov DeSantis will not shut Florida down again, so we can expect a confrontation very soon!

Could not care less about a 'case'. Really? A bizarre spike in demand for COVID test kits (based on PCR testing that has notoriously proven over, and over, and over, and over to generate false positives) annnnd 'poof' an upsurge in COVID 'cases'. With variants that have symptoms no worse than the common cold now?
Who. Friggin'. Cares.

The effects of omicron will not cause everyday life to get hard. The politically-driven overreaction (culling all who test positive into quarantine, whether they are sick or not) will cause a new shortage of workers everywhere. This asinine lockdown will not even try to let "essential" jobs continue, and I'm not sure I will even try to respect it.

The Chicoms are leading the way by locking down several of their population centers to "combat" Omicron. Expect the CDC and Faucistein to advise Abandon Joe to do the same in America.

Imagine the same attitude in these previous events in American History:
1700s: "I'm sorry, General Washington, you won't be able to cross the Delaware because several of your troops have tested positive (asymptomatic)."
1800s: "Looks like we're going to have to turn the entire wagon train around and head back East...our scout, camp cook, and six of the kids ain't feelin' so good."
1900s: "Sure, the Japanese bombed half our fleet, but we'll get them ooooh sometime next year when we've got enough masks for our troops so they don't spread the virus. This is a year or two that will live in infamy! The only thing we have to fear is friggin' Fauci."

#12’s list does seem to include ONE group who may have-in retrospect-wanted the WuFlu to turn them back, but 12 may NOT be referring to the Donner party…..

Gee, how did we ever survive n normal flu seasons? My kid (19) just got Covid (again) and this time the doc says expect to catch it this time. Should be pretty mild.

Keep your vitamins D and C very high, that will help avoid getting infected. If you've already had the disease, you're home free.
Beware, the "missing flu of 2020" went NOWHERE, and a significant subset of "COVID infections" were actually seasonal influenza. But you say, "I took the test and it was positive." Means little. Their test cannot tell a number of other coronaviruses from the ChiCom bioweapon. And a lot of them just give false positives. But, this is a minority of people who "got COVID". Most really did have it, but not all of them, even with proper symptoms. These are the "I got COVID twice" folks....who didn't get COVID twice, but the flu once and COVID once. Dr. McCollough in his long "Grand Rounds" video is very adamant on that, says that there are NO cases of re-infection. And that actually fits the real science.

#14, the Donner party wasn't doomed by any flu (since virtually every wagon train account tells of significant illnesses along the way) but by a "snow job" not even as epic as the one we're getting today...

All I had to see was Joe Biden's covid Advisory Board and MSNBC to know this would be all about fear mongering. Hey, Joey, if covid is so bad why is the southern border wide open. Along Fauci and his wife, this whole administration is insane.

Interesting theory, #25, and maybe that's what these idiots are thinking....but the great majority of these "sick" folks, these "cases" ARE VACCINATED.
Kinda proves that there is no reason in the world to get the vaccine, or force it, since it is obvious that getting infected and transmitting the virus is not hindered by these mRNA shots.

The Covid religious zealots will cease functioning due their worship of all things Covid and irrational fears of getting Covid. They will continue to preach their religion of fear, isolation, vaccination, and death to the gullible. The rest of us will just say screw it, go on with our lives, and happily live out the zealots Covid nightmare with no problems.

It's getting to be that there is a very fine line between 'expert' and malicious blowhard. Evil little demons... Faucimps. Their job is to arouse fear and sow discord.

I'm vaccinated. I got the Covid. It was like the mildest cold I've ever had, except, I lost my sense of smell and taste for several days.

Why get tested? And why avoid exposure that would create herd immunity?
