    Is Omicron Peaking?

    It looks as though we're hitting the peak and it could drop off rapidly from here--as it did in Africa.

    Some think this could put an end to the pandemic--because Omicron is so infectious, but mild, that we could see herd immunity rather soon, after which it could be gone. Others think it will dwindle, mutate, and flare up again.

    I hope Omicron wipes it out. I'm so ready for life to go back to normal.

    My local hospital has beds in the hallways and they're using the ER as beds as well. It's crazy. They're not transferring out because the nearby hospitals are also overbooked.

    But, that could all end soon.

    Scientists are seeing signals that COVID-19′s alarming omicron wave may have peaked in Britain and is about to do the same in the U.S., at which point cases may start dropping off dramatically.


    The reason: The variant has proved so wildly contagious that it may already be running out of people to infect, just a month and a half after it was first detected in South Africa.


    “It’s going to come down as fast as it went up,” said Ali Mokdad, a professor of health metrics sciences at the University of Washington in Seattle.

    I have wondered about that. The thing is there are those among us who are not yet ready to see COVID go away. The power it has brought them is addictive.
    Therefore expect resistance, especially in places like NYS. Here in Florida you'd think everything was back to normal except for employees and an occasional customer wearing mask.
    Let it run it's course. But as we speak Faccui and friends are searching the world for another variant. Deadlier, more fear provoking. We'll call it BASV or Bad Ass Scary Variant.

    And, if they don't find one -- they'll make one. Probably using the same GoF research that very likely made this one.

    We have a group of people who think it's fine and dandy to exert control over the citizens, and that's scarier than the virus.

    I watched Rand Paul knock Fauci down a notch--again--the other day, but Fauci is a weasel. When it was his turn to respond to Paul's allegations, he didn't even address them--rather, he played the victim and said how unfair it was for Paul to accuse him.

    Someday--I hope--the truth will come out.

    I posted a thread about H5N2- a bird flu that doesn't transmit human to human well, but has a mortality rate of 60%. Fauci's gain of function research could "fix" that.

    That is the sort of thing my box of N95s are waiting for. Not a weak virus like the COVID.

    The truth is out there already since these viruses have been around for so many years and researched. But what I find especially fascinating is Trump sounds like Doctor Fauci today. He is even going after DeSantis. Is that not fascinating or what? Will the cult turn around now. Only time will tell but my bet is they will, they follow not learn or think.

    I don't know what Trump's doing, nor do I care. Fauci is playing the victim when he is anything but.

    It's a matter of record that he and the NIH were instrumental in narrowing the definition of Gain of Function testing to keep the frankenscientists happy.

    The truth, as you say, is "out there already." It's just that it's not being made public. Yet.

    One thing is obvious--the scientists researching the virus have been unable to pinpoint a zoonotic source to date.

    We know that for sure.

    The only problem with that "loop" is that it's getting old. Congressional repubs spar with Faucci repeatedly, Paul pretty much nailed him on gain of function, in spirit if not in absolute detail, but nothing happens. The guy sent research funds to freakin China against a ban and nothing happened! Congressional hearings are the biggest dog and pony show going!
