causing global alarm over its rapid transmission

That is the same fear rhetoric they used in the early days of the original COVID. Rapid transmission, high contamination spread, people dropping dead in the streets.

[Today, many those dropping dead in the streets or on airplanes, etc., are the ones who got vaxxed.]

Well, it worked last time ... why wouldn't the commies try it again? I think there are fewer sheeple this time around. But still enough of them remain to make life more difficult. Still, this time around, when seeing someone maskless being assaulted by a Karen, I bet there will be more of us getting physically involved.

Now that kids are back in schools, covid is making a big jump in Alabama. Bad cold for 4-5 days.

No problem, I can deal with that. /s

Time to start printing those mail-in ballots we’ll need next year

“A 2nd case, and that is considered spreading?”
**************************************************

Hells bells…. that’s A HUNDRED PERCENT INCREASE IN ONE DAY. Doubling overnight. The horror, the horror. /sarc

[Dr.Deth]

The new variant, also spotted in Michigan last week, is causing concern because it stems from an 'earlier branch' of the coronavirus, so it differs from the variants targeted by current vaccines.

You mean the shots that don't currently work as designed for their target strain, won't work on this one either? Whatever shall we do?

I’m curious if the spike protein’s potential to cause other morbidities likewise decreases over time... the cardiac and reproductive issues, etc.

The respiratory ones are the normal response when the system is invaded by a foreign protein.

Again??? I’m really worried that these vampire “variants” are gonna give Walgreens and CVS the sadz again..... 😉

[Georgia Girl 2]

Here we go! Masks by October. Total lockdown by December. I wonder if the public will fall for it this time?

[dinodino]

I’m so fed up with this nonsense.

COVID is just like the flu with people that are vaccinated. The Infirm and the elderly are most at risk just like with the flu. IMHO. YMMV.

Time to start printing those mail-in ballots we’ll need next year

They started that just after the 2020 election. It takes a while to print 10 million or so and get them distributed without too much attention.

For 2024 they might even need to have 150 or 200 million just as added insurance. They want to be more than ready by around 8:30 ET to see how things are going. Never know when they might need to close down a facility for a waterline break or other emergency.

Gotta bring back cheat-by-mail-in ballots for 2024. Gotta make people once again believe that the Black Death is sweeping the country and you'd be taking your life in your hands if you dare go outside and stand in line to vote.

And for those of you who haven't been paying attention to Kari Lake's legal challenges, her lawyers presented footage of one election official at a computer who was supposed to be verifying the signature on each mail-in. This person verified over 100,000 ballots, each ballot in under 2 seconds. The person did not scroll down to compare the signature on record with the mail-in. The person merely hit 'next' without checking. And the kangaroo court judge said the law didn't specify how long a person had to take to verify a signature, and if the process was okay with Maricopa officials, then no laws had been broken.

All of Trump's 2020 election challenges and Kari Lake's appeals are being delayed as long as possible so that any judgement favorable to them will be too late to affect 2024.

The 2024 Steal will make 2020 look like a walk in the park. They will not only steal the presidency, but Senate, House, governorships, and state legislatures. All with cheat-by-mail-in ballots. Any republican who is ahead on the night of election day will ultimately lose after a week of slow-walking the mail-in count.

DO NOT COMPLY.

[Skid289]

I’m on board with the WFH thing, and the company I work for is so woke they will probably do it. Luckily I live far enough away in a rural area that the mask BS won’t work with the locals.

[Bigg Red]

The sky is falling, and we’re all going to die.

[OHPatriot]

Isn’t this like the SIXTH or SEVENTH variant of interest in the past two weeks? This is gone well beyond STUPID. Every day is seems there is a new nasty variant. What’s worse, the “new” VAX won’t be ready for a month or so. Anybody think they got that formula right????

[Bigg Red]

Nope. I don’t think people are going to go along with that nonsense again.
