We’re in for an infection-filled holiday season: Will leaders step up?
The hill ^ | 11/24/2022 | STEVEN FINDLAY

By all accounts, the risk of another winter surge of COVID-19 in the U.S. is high. And this time coronavirus is on the prowl alongside two pals — influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). In some areas, hospitals are already overwhelmed.

Just how severe this “tripledemic” is going to be is unclear. But what is very clear is that a pandemic-weary public isn’t taking the threat seriously enough. Shockingly, neither is government. Biden administration officials have expressed concerns for months, but there’s been no loud alarm bells, so far. That includes at a White House briefing on Tuesday where officials barely mentioned the triple threat as they sought to jumpstart efforts to get more people boosted with the new bivalent COVID-19 vaccine. To date, about 12 percent of those eligible have gotten the new booster.

Americans aren’t being sufficiently scared with Covid anymore so 3 viruses should put them into a state of terror and panic.

Ah, our daily dose of health fear porn.
Yup, it’s winter and flu/associated stuff will do damage (hopefully not much). Now that we’ve developed our expertise (thanks to inept journalists and associated STEM allergic fools), always remember to do the opposite of what the CDC clown show and the media/Democrat complex recommends.

These clowns are funny. Just last week we had one of the biggest car shows in west central FL, attracting thousands. As we speak way more people are crowding into the Daytona Speedway for the Turkey Run. Next month Don Garlits’ drag race museum in Ocala holds their huge Toys for Tots show. No outbreak of the Szechuan sniffles that can be attributed to any of those events. Remarkable considering many of us motorheads are old farts with medical conditions

I’m particularly fond of the “tripledemic” moniker. It has a nice oversell aroma to it.

“In some areas, hospitals are already overwhelmed.” What areas? The writer should name them and the hospitals.

What “leaders?”

Besides, I (as well as many others) don’t want leaders. I just want to be represented within the confines of Articles I-IV of our charter of government, my rights protected, and otherwise left alone. I don’t want leaders. I don’t want a state sugar daddy. I don’t want a benevolent dictator, god emperor, any any of that crap. I don’t want to be ruled over by unelected billionaires, or an establishment of politicos and incompetent bureaucrats/technocrats.
