Think I'll be good. Like most.

Let's all freak out.

Most of us will be good. But collectively there will be a whole lot who will not. And that will put a drag on society for many years to come. At the moment our local hospitals are almost out of ICU room even without the Holiday rush.

They say there are 150 million unvaxxed in America and right now there are over 250K cases reported a day, but the number of infections is probably many times that, if you take into account mild and asymptomatic cases among the vaxxed. So let's say that the pandemic burns through most of America in say 100 days (ditto for Canada). So that means we should be through the worst of it by spring or summer and after that we will treat it as another endemic disease like influenza, perhaps biannual boosters for a few years until an effective vaccine is found or we become naturally immune to this coronavirus to the point where it acts more like influenza.

One way or another we should be done with this shit by summer except for boosting and that might depend on age an other factors, we are gonna learn to live with it, adapt. However we have a winter to get through first and need to slow the transmission down and over more time, to protect the healthcare systems from being overwhelmed.

Rumor is going two ways on the CDC cutting quarantine from 10 to 5 days. Some say they caved to pressure from big business. The other is that they know the next wave will be huge and they are hoping to get essential workers back quicker in the hopes of not seeing a collapse of the medical system.

A freind told me he went to one of those walk in emergency clinics last week for a non covid reason. He said the door was locked with a note that said to call and not come in, said it looked closed from outside. He called and was told they were short staffed and couldn't help him.

that is what happened; to make a few dollars, short staffed; let's just get everyone sick.

what happened to National Guard for hospitals? Javitz Center incoming? Tents?

according to the Biden Administration the Pandemic is over as of 1/1/22- a little short sighted..Trump is nuts;perhaps Biden should've taken the temperature of the patient before declaring a country free from plague.

now you'll have people sick, out of work or dead. UI is over:clap: SNAP has up until 12/31 to give the special pandemic allotment:clap:(our last).

i heard at the Food Bank last week was mobbed no one had food because no one's SNAP has been re-upped. yes, yes 12/31, the Great Goodbye!
