If the FDA and CDC were not so politicized and run by commissars, they would be studying those who have incurred the highly contagious omicron variant and determine if, as it appears apparent, they are immune from the more virulent strains of COVID. This of course would run contrary to the politically correct narrative of vaccinate, vaccinate, boost boost boost , ignore natural immunity and vaccinate helpless children who are essentially not vulnerable as a group to this virus.

When Delta arrived, there was no frantic attempt to measure death count against it. Death count was death count. No one knew if delta or some other strain killed the dead person. Genetic sequencing was done to measure population prominence, not individual deaths.

That hasn’t changed. So it’s not really something to look for . . . how many have died to Omicron. There is no count. There wasn’t for delta and there isn’t for omicron.

All you can do is wait for the population survey to say 90+% and then count total deaths. The surge of summer deaths were declining until winter arrived. Now the decline has stopped and there’s a slight uptrend. 7 day average 1300/day, with peak days about 1800. Mostly elderly, of course, and nearly all elderly have a comorbidity . . . so it’s simply mostly elderly.

CoupFlu has NEVER been about public health.

The irrational, dirty, nasty, unhealthy bad habit of useless masking will keep covid-hysteria going for a while as the political reason (the only effective reason) for the masking fad is that it serves as a powerful visual reminder that America is sick; that we're all just one cough, sneeze or spittle droplet from certain death!

It's critical to the Democrat/Communist/Left to keep the masking craze going all the way to the midterms to keep American "men" and women off-kilter, irrationally frightened, woefully ignorant, angry, distrustful and depressed to maintain mail-in "voting" ... possibly even "text-in" voting in the Communist-controlled cities.

Oh, heavens no. We’re about to start seeing nothing but happy talk from the media. DNC pollsters will make it clear they will be wiped out in the mid terms unless they can declare resounding victory over the virus.

So the media will get underway with an onslaught of happy talk.

Death counts will still be 1900/day, but it will be happy talk nonetheless.

An excellent point ... one that I hadn't considered.

Since FJB has FJB'd up everything else he's done, he will be regaled as a savior by the Democrat/Communist/Left (as they have none for their secular religion, y'know.)

Simple answer...when the Dems permanently own the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches, it will disappear.

When it no longer is perceived as providing a political benefit to the Democrat party.

I think it will be the exact opposite. They HAVE to ramp up the COVID fear to extreme levels and argue "Republicans and their bad COVID policies will kill you if you elect them. Only Democrats can save you from COVID." Even though all empirical evidence has proven there is NOTHING you can do. As the epidemiologists like to say...
Viruses gonna virus.

First, mutations happen one at a time. That’s why Delta, the fourth named variant, has only two mutations on its spike protein


Uh, not necessarily true. Alpha could birth more than 1 mutation. What they are called is just an arbitrary naming convention.

It’ll stop being “COVID!!!” when the politicians are done milking it for everything they can get out of it.

So… never.

It may die down and then suddenly kick up tight before elections so
RATs can do their mail out ballot fraud over and over.

While it is true that the CDC has not collected (or at least released) statistical data on variants' attributed hospitalization/death; their European counterparts have.

Weekly epidemiological update: Omicron variant of concern (VOC) – week 50 (data as of 19 December 2021)

It would appear the Omicron variant has been a nothing-burger in the regions that the EU CDC monitors.

‘so it’s simply mostly elderly.’

which begs the question ‘when does older become elderly...’?

‘...to keep American.....women off-kilter, irrationally frightened, woefully ignorant, angry, distrustful and depressed’

in other words, keep the status quo...

‘...RATs can do their mail out ballot fraud over and over.’

and again I ask, what is preventing republicans from using mail in voting to their benefit...?

if there were sufficient pub voters to win the popular vote, you guys would be all for easy voting...in which case the dems would be playing the electoral college game (like Gore wanted to do in 2000) and then you all would want to eliminate the EC...

When does COVID stop being COVID.

When someone drops Fauci from the top of the Nakatomi tower, like Hans Gruber! Anyone with photoshop want to tackle that one?
