Janet Woodcock, the acting commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, said Tuesday that “most people are going to get Covid” amid a record surge being fueled by the spread of the omicron variant of coronavirus in the country.

Woodcock suggested that instead of focusing on stopping community transmission, the federal government should seek to ensure “continuity of operations” in hospitals, public transportation and other essential businesses as the virus causes significant labor shortages.

According to Department of Health and Human Services data, as of Saturday, more than 25% of hospitals in 18 states were suffering from severe shortages of doctors, nurses and other medical workers. The CDC recommended last month that healthcare workers with non-serious symptoms can return to work five days after a Covid-19 infection, and later updated its guidelines to cut the isolation period following infection to five days for all asymptomatic people.

They seem to be trying to make fearful COVID “cases” out of what have usually been the kind of thing you’d be down with for a just a few days, maybe a week and a half...some get it worse and even worse than that, especially if you’re the host of four or more “comorbidites” and usually, no one had to know about it except maybe your boss at work.

This was obvious at the outset. Wouldnt have been great if we didnt hide from it? Try to “beat” it? Destroy our economy over it?

Well, duh, a research station in Anartica reported majority of staff sick with CoVID, despite fully-vax + booster required to get on the plane to even get there, let alone get inside.

So it’s fine for vaxxed healthcare workers who are currently sick and symptomatic with COVID to work with patients. But unvaxxed healthcare workers who are healthy cannot. How does this make sense?
