US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy warned Sunday that the “next few weeks will be tough” as COVID-19 infections driven by the Omicron variant continue to surge.

Murthy said that the country is still pushing around 800,000 new cases per day, though some regions, such as New York, have begun to see a plateau in infections.

I am finishing up a ‘brutal fight’ with Omicron.

The experience was like having a chest cold and cough- for three days. That’s all, except for a really mild headache that was noticeable only because I seldom if ever have a headache.

No loss of smell or taste. No fever. No extreme fatigue. Just a ‘cold’.

I am Pfizer vaxd but not boosted.

I say bring on Omicron!

In order to make my prediction come true, we will be introducing mandatory testing. Soon. Real soon.

It’s all about the midterm virus! Come summertime they will if they can lock us down so that they can do their cheating fraudulent mail in ballots steal since it worked to perfection! Don’t for one minute doubt that they are already planning the big cheat in November! They had excellent practice 2020 with no accountability so they’ll just repeat the process. No law or enforcement will stop them. Besides it’s so obvious by what’s going on at the capital with the rats pushing at federalizing a national voting bill right now! They’ll pass it by hook or crook if they have too.

Two brothers & a SIL with Omicron ... 2 on the back side of their “bad colds” (& a few aches the first day or so of symptoms) this past week, the other felt crummy Wed/Thur/Fri & just tested positive. All were vaxed - no boosters that I’m aware of.

We’ve hit the peak in NYC and DC and already on the way down. The South is now hitting the peak so is California and Utah. Rest of the country should be there in a week or two. By the Super Bowl weekend, it will go away down simply because rhe virus will run of hosts to infect.

Here's a very good John Campbell video that tells what to do if you get symptoms. At around the 8-minute mark starts the really useful part--tells how to keep yourself out of the hospital. People with comorbidities need to watch this, just in case.

People have been so conditioned by fear that symptoms of a cold or mild flu that would not have sent them to the doctor a few years ago have them running in a state of panic to the ER.

Being at the height of the normal flu season and hospitals short staffed, it looks like the plague apocalypse to those who are no longer rational - a sizeable portion of the population unfortunately.

Elders would just tell everyone to masturbate to include Headstarters and Kindergarteners.

You shouldn’t run to the ER at the first sign of symptoms but it helps to have some knowledge about what will keep the symptoms from getting worse.
