“Because I’m vaccinated I’m pretty relaxed,” said Kristen Gallagher while waiting to get tested. “The only reason I’m doing it now is ’cause last night I saw the line and I was terrified.”
Another woman said she is already vaccinated and recovered from a breakthrough case, but she was recently exposed to the virus, so she is getting tested.
“I’m so scared, so I decided to make an appointment to get tested, just in case,” she said.
No long lines have been reported at testing sites in Broward County, but 7News cameras captured a steady flow of drivers pulling into C.B. Smith Park in Pembroke Pines on Friday.
The new variant has caused a new wave of COVID cases in South Florida and across the country.
“Right now, we’re seeing our cases and hospitals go up, and we’re seeing it at a very steep incline,” said Dr. Aileen Marty, an infectious disease expert at Florida International University.
Although delta is the dominant variant in the U.S., health experts predict omicron will surpass it.
“Rapidly, omicron is replacing delta. At this moment, over 80% of samples are testing for the omicron variant,” said Dr. David Andrews with the Jackson Health System.
“We expect it to become the dominant strain in the United States, as it has in other countries, in the coming weeks,” said Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

So people are going to get tested not because of any symptoms, but because they see many others getting tested on TV ?
Get your cold. Then Get over it.
Zombies
I don’t need to get tested and put in a government data base
Had it, lived. Doing fine.
God bless America
Yep, I came to Boca Raton expecting to leave behind the Omnicron panic, but it followed me here.
My advice to So. Fla: forget the tests, go to the beach, get Vit D.
And someone who got vaxxed, then got breakthrough covid and recovered, is so “ scared” they go line up to get tested again?
We are in deep doo doo because of this public true science misinformation, lack of leadership, and panic
Brainwashed sheep.
There are liberals everywhere. They will be the ones pushing the panic button and bringing their normal chaos to the red states, and the MSM will gleefully report it.
If we you want to run up the numbers of Covid infections, put fear into the public which creates long lines at testing sites, test the people with crappy tests which will produce false positives and then you have all the excuses you need to justify more Covid restrictions....
Biden’s domestic agenda is imploding our economy is tanking and the Democrats were looking at a Red Wave next November.
What better way to remain in power than create a new pandemic and go back to 2020 election rules and steal as many Congressional seats as possible.
This is why there’s a shortage of workers, idiots sitting at home then running out to get tested daily.
Feeling perfectly fine then going out to get multiple tests thinking you’re sick…Hmmm, there’s a term for that…
I was terrified.” “I’m so scared.”
There’s your problem...
I have reservations for Marco Island in mid January. Hope this craze passes quickly.
If you’re relaxed and vaxxed, why are you getting tested? Do you test weekly just in case? A person could be tested, be negative and still be positive the same day. Sheer fidiocy.
😨😷💉🐂💨💩💸
I’ve seen nothing in this variant that warrants Britain’s extreme response to it: Dr ANGELIQUE COETZEE, the doctor who alerted the world to the Omicron Covid variant, says we are over-reacting to the threat
“Get your cold. Then Get over it.”
************************************
Damned straight. The person who is in line and scared solely because she saw a line is STUPIDITY PERSONIFIED. People who are not sick do not need to be tested. If we started charging for these unnecessary tests, the pandemic would largely disappear.
Guess we have to see what BS Brandon spews tomorrow.
😨😷💉🐂💨💩💸
AND ON CUE!!! Here we go....the globalist are on the front line with shutting down their global head of nations meeting! This is exactly what they did in 2020 to defeat President Trump with FEAR! Ugh! Will our governors cave to the evil conspiracy alarmist? There’s a big chance the answer is yes. I here come January a lot of schools across the nation will be shutting down. Just in the nick of time to get the rats enough time to conspire for the 2022 midterm elections. Mailing in fraud votes and drop boxes here we come. The great heist is on again! I’m afraid that this will result in the demon rats keeping power by fraud.
