Contrary to the panic mongering among western officials and mainstream media, Barry Schoub, chairman of the South African Ministerial Advisory Committee on Vaccines, told Sky News on Sunday that while South Africa, which first identified the new variant, currently has 3,220 people with the coronavirus infection overall and while the variant does appear to be spreading rapidly, there’s been no real uptick in hospitalizations. “The cases that have occurred so far have all been mild cases, mild-to-moderate cases, and that’s a good sign,” said Schoub, adding that it was still early days and nothing was certain yet. Most importantly Schoub said that the large number of mutations found in the omicron variant appears to destabilize the virus, which might make it less “fit” than the dominant delta strain. So it seems COVID-19 is following the typical path of mutations becoming more contagious and less lethal. Which might lead to the less severe omicron variant will become the dominant strain and result in more cases but lower overall hospitalizations and fewer deaths.

By nominating a "moderate" candidate to deceive the voters. Because running on their true leftist agenda would have resulted in defeat. A candidate that claimed to be middle of the road and somebody that would unify Americans after 4 years of conflict. And once in office flipping the switch to a Marxist agenda intent on destroying traditional America and transforming the country into some 3rd world crap hole. Basically by lying their assess off about their true intentions which has contributed to Joe's poor ratings. And here we are immersed in complete dysfunction.

More fear porn. In Europe where full panic mode in in affect, the PM of Belgium has stated its "three times as infectious" while suggesting it should be called COVID-21. Even though there's no science around that irresponsible quantification of potential transmission rate. Meanwhile South Africa’s medical chief Dr. Angelique Coetzee, described world wide responses as a “storm in a teacup.” Coetzee stated South Africa has only recorded “very very mild cases” of the variant so far. Guaranteed you won't hear anyone in the parade of experts on any of the network shows today quoted her. Basic virus 101 says when viruses mutate over time they become more infectious and less lethal. There's no reason to suggest COVID is any different until the evidence and facts say otherwise.

If everyone would stay home and isolate for two weeks, remain 6 to 12 feet away from all other family and household members, follow specific kitchen and bathroom schedules so they remain alone, and breath in and out from different exterior windows we might beat this thing.

Because all the paid whores and liars in the MSM and the authoritarian loving-left protect Biden they are obligated to bury negative stories and avoid references to racism or xenophobia specifically with a Biden ban of travel from Africa. Or anything else the administration might do that is stupid or appears contrary to logic and reason. This is obvious to anyone capable of even limited independent thought. When Trump issued similar travel ban edict's they were on his ass like flies on you know what. If Trump did this today they'd be criticizing him for racism and making policy decisions without the facts or the science available to justify the decision. So, yes it's a double standard. You also won't see any of the usual suspects criticizing New York's governor for issuing a state of emergency without facts other than there are zero identified cases in the State. An objective assessment might be she's making decisions with irrational fear as the driver.

Also humorous is that moronic is an anagram of Omicron.

I understand the reference to Omicron skips a Greek letter they didn't want to use to identify COVID variants... Xi. Funny, right?

And why is the Biden administration starting to impose international travel restrictions,about 8 countries, but leaving the southern border open? Seems a bit of a contradiction even for this maliciously subversive group of bumblers. I'm sure Peppermint Patty will rationalize it for us at the next WH PC.

I'm puzzled you're not aware of the term as you appear to be informed on the vaccines and COVID. A super spreader is any event the global elite capitalists and their political and media whores along with the social justice crowd they bankroll deem to be way too many people is what they have decided through their wisdom and superior wealth and intelligence is an unsafe large gathering that will result in lots of COVID infections. These events are typically defined as conservative protests or gatherings along with any traditional American event. Thanksgiving gatherings are potential spreader events while BLM protests are not.

The difference is Trump transgressions get investigated and exposed and embellished 24/7 by the media with constant air play but Biden's don't. All chatter gets downplayed and censored and blocked and stuffed down the rabbit hole. The laptop scandal. Buried. The Chinese billion dollar hedge fund "investment" to a guy that knows nothing about managing funds. Buried. The Ukraine no-show $66K a month job and extortion of their government. Buried. The daughter's diary thing with Veritas. Buried and an FBI raid w/leaks to NYT. I can go on. What else do you want me to tell you? The guy's a lifetime political hack and crook constantly on the take.

3CL Protease inhibitors and other viral treatments along with immunity boosters and supplements like Vitamins C & D, Zinc, L-Lysine. It's not that the vaccines don't work. The problem is efficacy wears off over time and as the virus mutates current vaccine formulas becomes less effective. And while they slow down the spread of the virus, they don't stop the spread since vaccinated people can still infect other people. Viral mutations tend to become more infectious over time but the good news is the also become less fatal. I also keep saying take a look at what India did with an Ivermectin + treatment vitamin kit but nobody wants to hear about that $2.65 solution they implemented with success.

It's a typical shoot first ask questions later response. But like you said little to no quantifiable information available on how contagious or deadly the variant might be.

The US financial markets are taking the news poorly this morning with the futures down across the board. Dow, S&P, NASDAQ, Oil, US dollar down with gold prices higher. Concern is more lockdowns & restrictions with potential for more stimulus payments if it gets serious. Some of the volatility may be typical thin trading volumes Friday after Thanksgiving. One bright spot is investor enthusiasm for COVID vaccine makers Pfizer and Moderna and a few other conducting P3 trials with some minor interest in a few treatment plays.

You mentioned numbers were up but no sure wheres so I highlighted the elevated States..

These are the states with elevated 7 day rolling average case rates per 100K & their 7 day rolling average deaths Michigan - 109.57 cases per 100K, 92.0 deaths 7 day average Minnesota - 92.32, 30.47 Alaska - 81.04, 6 Montana - 70.03, 10, 5.82 North Dakota - 71.24, 6.02 South Dakota - 70.03, 4.36 Colorado - 77.56, 42.77 New Mexico - 70.99, 10.21 Wisconsin - 71.07, 27.92

Would you agree that, vaccinated or not, very rarely is anyone hospitalized (or dies) without some other condition or co-morbidity? Such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, autoimmune deficiencies? And these hospitalizations should be diagnosed and reported as primary diagnosis is "x diagnosis w/COVID" rather than primary diagnosis is "COVID"?

Your 50/50 assumption is simplistic and you have no control group to use as a baseline to validate that assumption. Vaccinated or not, hospitalization rates are 99%+ a function of other factors such as weak immune systems resulting from old age and co-morbidities. There are literally no patients in hospitals that "just" have COVID. Almost all have high risk factors including hospitalized children. Admissions are "with COVID" and rarely is any other health issue absent. Like anything else the general rule is healthy people or young people don't die. All the data on hospitalizations support this but it doesn't get much airplay. I should add, the vaccine does help keep people out of the hospital but that is among those with high risk factors. Otherwise healthy young people naturally have a low/no risk of hospitalization with or without it.

You'll need to repeal sections of the ACA in order to do this as mandatory health insurance is the rule right now. How many votes are do you expect there are in the House and Senate with mid-terms approaching? I'd suggest the idea is DOA when it comes to Medicare and Medicaid coverage. Commercial coverage where insurance is contracted between private business and the government with insurers might get some interest in premium surcharges. I know a little about the topic. I spent 12 years in health insurance supporting claims processing, provider contracts, member coverage and benefits, and I'm currently working in health care analytics services for about 4 years. Along with this some personal experience dealing with high cost hospitalization expenses. How it works is simple. Have you ever seen a dead Deer on the side of the road getting devoured by Vultures. Well you're the Deer and the hospitals and doctors & their billing administrators are the Vultures. That's why I donate some of my time to helping low income people and seniors navigate the billing process so they don't get screwed. And fun fact, people with health insurance make up the largest group of people filing personal bankruptcy. Doctors and Hospitals might get pennies on the dollar. That's not going to pay for those country club memberships and Telsa's in the 3-car garage. Anything that threatens that income stream is going to be vigorously opposed.

Anyone advocating for this doesn't understand how the US health care system operates. For one, it contradicts the rationale for the ACA and mandatory insurance coverage. And hospitals and doctors would never support this. How will they get paid? You might be able to get away with a surcharge like they do with smokers. But if ultimately the idea is to deny citizens (the SJW crowd will likely insist on an exclusion for un-vaccinated illegals) medical services in order to coerce them into getting a vaccine against their will it might involve ethical questions. But then again, maybe we can start to euthanize terminally ill or end of life patients to save you a few bucks on your premiums too? Sneak into grandma's room in the middle of the night and put a pillow over her face then wake up mom and dad to tell them you just saved them $5 a month on their coverage.

Oil prices up around 2.5% near the close of trading today. Ports running 24/7 is a fantasy. For starters, where are 3 times more workers and 3 times more trucks coming from to support this idea? Long term the way to eliminate the problem is to make products domestically and eliminate the port bottleneck and dependency on foreign countries for goods. Time to put the interests of American workers and families and American businesses above the interests of multi-national mega corporations that have only an allegiance to the bottom line. Let's really build back better. Help people that are working for a living instead of the usual freeloader constituencies and big donors. You're party claims to represent the people. Time to demonstrate that claim with something more than more government spending.

Being followed by some unknown person for some unknown reason can be easily interpreted as threatening or a potential danger. Why is this guy following me? I'm not doing anything. What does he want? Is he going to jump me or something? This guy is acting "suspicious". That's likely what Martin was thinking. What was Zimmerman's motive for following Martin? Simply because he thought he looked or acted "suspicious"? Zimmerman was a private citizen, not an officer of the law. He has no legal right to question or detain anyone on a public street that is not actively involved in a crime. To me this is consistent with the scenario with the defendants in Georgia. I remember being followed when driving one night, by a police patrol. This is how I experienced and felt about being "followed". My wife and I had just left a family gathering at around 11 PM across town. About 3/4 mile away from the party I'm sitting at a red light and a local cop pulls behind me. Long story short, he's glued to my bumper for about 6 miles through 7 or 8 left and right turns. And follows me right down my street and as I turn into my driveway and patrol car passes by. As I was doing nothing illegal, exhibited no signs of erratic driving or speeding, and the worst thing on my driving record is an expired inspection sticker, I viewed this as plain and simple harassment. My conclusion was the cop was a dick weed that was trying to panic me into doing something stupid to give him an excuse to pull me over. But I wasn't going to let it happen. My initial urge was to get on the phone and file a citizens complaint with the township's chief of police but I reconsidered because I concluded I'd get no redress doing that and it would lead to further acts of harassment.

This has been my #1 gripe all season. It definitely cost them the Jags game. It's a surprise when there's no flag on kick and punt returns. A needless hold on a McKenzie KR cost the Bills a late 4th quarter TD and the lead against the Titans which might be forgotten given the failed QB sneak to end the game. That's two games right off with better focus and discipline. We'd be sitting at 8-2 right now. False starts, off sides, stupid personal fouls that extend opponents drives or kill them on offense. This is correctable without any radical changes, or roster moves, scheme changes, or game planning. I'm just tired of waiting for a flag on every play. Tired of waiting for a flag on 3rd down that extends the other teams drive or a penalty on offense that kills a big play at some critical time during the game. Like you, I'm not blaming the refs or accusing them of some bias. But damn it, just fix it!

I don't expect a hung jury here. Based on the evidence I'd expect them to be found guilty. A self-defense argument doesn't hold any merit in this case. Citizens are generally not empowered to detain a person that poses no immediate threat and in addition has taken no observable action to break any law along with clearly attempting disengaging themselves from any type of confrontation. I'd expect a competent attorney would have advised his clients to accept or initiate some sort of plea arrangement rather than go to trial. But juries can be unpredictable. The circumstances here are much like the Zimmerman trial in the killing of Treyvon Martin in Florida. I thought Zimmerman was guilty there based on police instructions to not engage Martin in any way which Zimmerman ignored to initiate a confrontation. I don't believe self-defense is a valid argument when you are the instigator. For me the jury got it wrong here.

The issue is we have a different definition of corruption. Biden & family making sweetheart deals with China in exchange for cash payments and extorting money from Ukraine while setting up his son at a 66K per month no-show job is corruption. Biden using the FBI as muscle to protect his family interests is corruption. Democratic operatives inside the agencies and departments sabotaging an elected government's ability to govern is corruption. Trump saying mean and crude things about people, while loathsome, is not corruption and legitimate discussions with elected or business officials about matters of private business arrangements in other countries is not in and of itself corruption. So while I am concerned about public officials taking bribes and payoffs from foreign countries for who knows what in exchange and career bureaucrats maliciously obstructing the elected government of our country you're worried about hurting people's feelings. Sorry if Trump made you and all your friends cry but while you're eyes are full of tears you must not be able to see clearly that our current President's family has been stuffing their pockets with cash and goodies. And frankly I'm tired of you binary arguments suggesting that what Trump did or didn't do absolves Biden of any wrongdoing. The guys as crooked as a 3 dollar bill whether or not Trump existed or not. Period.

I think Jimmy Carter is a decent and honest person and it gives me comfort to know that a corrupt and immoral character like Biden will be replacing him in the history books as the worst President in our times and perhaps the worst President ever. Post all the stupid pictures and tweets you desire. They won't change that.
