1st case of omicron variant discovered in Manitoba
The person who tested positive for the newest coronavirus variant of concern recently travelled to Manitoba from one of the 14 federally advised countries and has so far experienced mild symptoms, the province said.

Manitoba reports four deaths and 93 new cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday, the provincial coronavirus data dashboard says.

Of the new cases, 38 are in the Southern Health Region, 34 are in the Winnipeg health region, 11 are in the Northern Health Region, six are in the Interlake-Eastern health region and four are in the Prairie Mountain Health region.

As of Tuesday, 152 Manitobans are hospitalized with COVID-19, holding steady from the day before, including 32 in intensive care, an increase of two.

When looking at those in ICU with active COVID-19, 22 are unvaccinated and two are fully vaccinated.

The province has about 85% vaccinated. So 15% of the people that are not vaccinated results in 30 people in the ICU and the vaccinated in the ICU is 2.

I think we can safely assume it’s everywhere now.

It looks like covid will get everybody, vaxxed or not, in the end. How rough the ride will be and how much damage it causes is yet to be determined, but the vaxxed appear to be able tolerate an infection much better than the unvaxxed. It's not a question of, if you will get covid, but when, how many times and how much harm will each infection cause. If you are vaxxed and boosted, not much apparently, most cases are mild or asymptomatic for the vaxxed. The unvaxxed are very likely to get very sick by spring, but fewer should die, as most older people are vaxxed and there are better treatments available now.

This shows ya what kind of winter we might be looking at this year, masks are a no brainer, as are updated flu shots. There are millions of unvaxxed, the hospitals could be overwhelmed and we will probably see the usual restrictions. The toll in the undervaxxed red states should be bad, even in places with high vaxx rates this thing is filling hospitals.

Ya never know, not that many will die, many will have near death experiences and be fucked over for life. So between the insurrection, the pandemic, republican incompetence, criminality and Donald fucking them over, the dems might have a chance at keeping the house and increasing the senate. Margins are razor thin in many places and the GOP already knows it has to cheat to win, ya don't do the shit they've been doing to the voting system unless they figure they're gonna lose a fair election.

No, the Democrats fucked things up. Promised to much, Got the Mexico border wrong. Biden should have been more visible. And in the end with redistricting the Republicans will probably take the House and Senate.

We will see, it's a year out and a lot can happen, but I agree with the redistricting. I don't think a lot of Americans except for fox viewers are worried about the Mexican border and the economy is doing pretty good. The democrats need to be more aggressive at all levels, particularly the local level. There will be a lot of factors going into the 2022 election, covid, Trump, court cases, historic trends, gerrymandering and voting rights.

We will see what the next year brings, I expect it to be momentous with the demise of Trump and the exposure of the 1/6 plot with some guilty pleas of those who are in squeal deals. I expect a half dozen GOP congress people to be in legal shit over 1/6 too. Polls go up and down, let's hope they look better in 2022 when Donald is pacing a cell freaking and out bigly.

Even without redistricting the GOP will take the house and senate. On average the president's party loses 24 house seats and 4 senate seats.

What is going to keep dragging down Joe Rob's approval rating is the pandemic.

I think Trump, the insurrection and a good economy should help with the midterms, but they have a hill to climb, more so with Gerrymandering and cheating.

As for covid, 40% of republicans are unvaccinated and most of those will catch a good case of covid before spring. Only those who are right leaning will blame Joe for the pandemic. For the vaxxed, boosted and careful, it won't be too much of an issue, the Wu flu, for the unvaxxed it will be a different matter. This winter people have more of a choice about life and death with vaccines and treatments, those who chose wisely will do ok.

And that is it, the midterms are usually a loss and if you are hanging there by the skin of your teeth you are a losing party even if you are performing well. And the GOP slinging fake mud, some of it sticks. Sadly a lot of people do not think much deeper in their politics than soundbites.
