my fellow Buffalonians in this thread:  how have you fared not wearing a mask into stores since the “mAnDaTe” was reinstated?  Besides once at Panera (the first day) and once at Moe’s, employees haven’t batted an eye at me.

What to expect from America's third year of COVID

 

America's third year of dealing with the pandemic is likely to start as bleak as ever, with a devastating Omicron surge for the first couple of months.

 

Between the lines: The silver lining of a tough January and February is that most of the country could have some degree of immunity afterward — either through vaccination, infection or both — that helps protect them against severe COVID infections in the future.

 

And a fourth shot isn't off the table, Fauci said: "It is entirely conceivable that that may be the case."

 

 

“I don’t think we’re ever returning to a normal that’s pre-2019. For one thing, COVID is going to be circulating, and it’s going to be part of our ongoing lives," said Zeke Emanuel, vice provost for global initiatives at the University of Pennsylvania.

 

“The optimistic scenario in my mind is come June, July we’re pretty close to normal.”

 

 

 

Fauci: Large holiday gatherings are unsafe, even with COVID booster

 

NIAID director Anthony Fauci warned Wednesday that large gatherings this holiday season are unsafe even for fully vaccinated people who've had a COVID-19 booster shot, as the Omicron variant surges across the U.S.

We're going to need a FOURTH booster - but its not safe to gather even with a booster.  

 

You freaking morons.   

 

I heard this exact nonsense 1 year ago about vaccines kinda sorta maybe getting us to a kinda like normal.  

 

When's the real insurrection to this insurrection?  Can we do it January 6th?

 

 

"Never get back to pre 2019 normal."

 

Yep just a reminder when we told you this a year ago and we're called fear mongering conspiracists:

Omicron Is Pushing America Into Soft Lockdown

 

Nobody wants to mandate business closures, but so many people are getting sick that businesses are closing anyway.

 

 

“I do not see a scenario for any kind of shutdown,” New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio declared this week, as parts of New York were in fact shutting down all around him. Broadway canceled show after show. Restaurants closed their kitchens. De Blasio’s successor, Eric Adams, who will take office January 1, nixed his inauguration gala. There has been no March 2020–style universal shutdown, but New York is not back anymore, baby.

DeMoron isn't calling for lockdowns bc he doesn't have to and the city is dead anyway.  

 

Good job Xiden!  

 

Mask up folks!

My brother is a very likable guy, good with people generally and doesn’t look for trouble.  Still, there was a time when he would drop the gloves and could handle himself quite well.  One night at a local gin mill, another fella was harassing a friend of his in hopes of stepping outside.  My brother volunteered to take his friends place, and as the assailant considered the offer, a third guy whispered to him “That’s Bob McAdoo*…you don’t want to mess with him”  (*Bob McAdoo is a pseudonym, not sure where I came up with it). 
 

Anyway, he was at a Wegmans chatting with a teller, asking for feedback and wishing her holiday cheer as the men in our family tend to do.  
 

As he chatted, a douche wandered by and told him to “Put his $&)&ing mask over his nose.”.  My brother suggested he mind his business, the douche suggested it was his business and lobbed an obligatory “Go vote for Trump” his way.  
 

My brother’s thought was it was fortuitous he didn’t see the guy outside on his way out.   My brother is in his mid 50s. 
 

Civility seems to be on hold at times, and while it certainly pays both ways, you have to had a pretty sad life on your hands when your main objective in life is to engage with. Mask wearing human who’s nose peaked out from the mask while engaged in conversation.  
 

Ar the same time, it’s fair to say when you want to push someone, sometimes you might be surprised as how they push back.

So sad watching them do a job solely because they know they'll be fired without hesitation if they don't.  

 

Its what most public sector employees have been coerced to for 2 years now - you can't question State policy because you are putting your career at risk

 

God bless the ones that said F that, quit, and moved to Florida or Texas.

Covid: Almost time to get back to normal and accept most of us will get mild symptoms, say scientists

 

 

It’s almost time to get back to normal because Omicron is generally mild and Covid-19 is not going to go away – meaning it’s only a matter of time before most people get it, a number of experts have said.

 

Coronavirus is well on its way to becoming endemic, like the common cold, and should be treated in the same way, as it is becoming milder over time, according to Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia.

 

As such, while it’s still too early to return to normality, once this wave of Omicron is over – perhaps around Easter – and assuming there are no nasty new surprises, things should go more or less back to normal, the scientists suggest.

 

“This is a disease that’s not going away… although we’re not going to see as severe disease for much longer,” Professor Hunter told BBC Breakfast.

 

“Ultimately, we’re going to have to let people who are positive with Covid go about their normal lives as they would do with any other cold. And so, at some point, we’ve got to relax this… perhaps sooner rather than later… but maybe not quite just yet.

 

“So personally, I think it would be unlikely that we are going to do anything like that whilst we’re still coping with Omicron, but once we’re past Easter, perhaps, then maybe we should start to look at scaling back, depending on, of course, what the disease is at that time,” he said.

 

“One can don a [highly protective] FFP2, FFP3, N95 mask, or a hazmat suit, or whatnot, but at this stage, all this may achieve is to delay the time until some of us will get infected, and thereby marginally prolong the pandemic.

 

“It gives me no joy to announce the inevitability of SARS-CoV-2 becoming endemic, and in an ideal world I wished we could have avoided yet another respiratory virus circulating in the community – there are already more than 200 – but the world is just not always ideal.

 

“I believe it is time to give in soon. Vaccine protection rates are as high as they may ever be in many places, and now we’ve got a couple of decent drugs. Pretending we remain in control, of sorts, is just becoming too costly.”

That must have been so painful to write.

 

Plenty of caveats tho!  

 

But the obvious "out" for these lunatics is "we didn't know!  It was so new!"
