OMG! I am so frighted! Omicron has so many mutations the vaccine may not work to protect people, not even people with 10 booster shots! I am just going to lockdown and wear 5 masks inside my house, 10 masks when my neighbors are home. Biden HELP us, send $10,000 stimulus checks (inflation) now! /s

Don't worry Harry, Joe Has never let us down before. Hunter is going to sell some more art, and he may pass some of the wealth down to us.

Officials are telling the public not to panic and stress that vaccination is still the best protection against coronavirus.

I just checked the sky over my house. It appears to be solid and mostly blue. Much more stable than the sky above MU Campus. I believe I am safe.

All politics.

It’s the plandemic. Watch the stock market. It drops when they announce the new variant, people panic sell, and the big dogs pick up the stocks cheap and three days later the stock market recovers, mild symptoms with O variant...it’s all a ploy. Anyone who thinks otherwise can look back and track it

South African doc said it was very mild.

Dr. Fauxi will have that Doctor reprogramed.

Christine Sewell

All I have to say is: Omicron rearranged spells Moronic. You're welcome.

Janet Cierpiot Lampe

It Flu season and time of year you should be careful around people just like we were years before Covid. And I DON'T trust Dr. Fauci if his lips are moving he lying wouldn't trust him if his tongue came Notarized. Yes there a virus but there always viruses going around If

Lee Eaton

I refuse to live my life in a politically promoted fear

Dr. Fauxi thinks he is the science. Science fiction, yes.

The Constitution gives the states the right to control the voting process. The democrats do not believe in the constitution. The United States, under its Constitution, is a federal, representative, democratic republic, an indivisible union of 50 sovereign States. Biden is trying to subvert the Law.

Max DeYoung

To make that easier to understand, the Biden administration, is crooked to the bone, and communist in nature.

High coronavirus cases rates have caused some schools to move online, at least temporarily, and some parents and teachers to call for more to do so.

If they are not going to implement strategies like masking, distancing and quarantine, then yes. Children are getting omicron and for most it's mild but they are bringing home to parents/caregivers/siblings which brings us back to hospitalizations/deaths.

Science shows healthy school children are not at risk from COVID. They are more likely to be shot and killed on the streets of Columbia than to die from COVID. - Science also shows fabric face masks don't work. The CDC is considering changing to N95. Fauci knew this all along. You been scammed.

Lisa Gore

Not even an N95 can really keep out the tiny micron size of Covid-19, masks delay speech and development in the youngest kids, cause levels of CO2 to elevate(look up side effects) many kids who were having delays in learning are 1-2 yrs behind now. 99.98% recovery in kids. Stop the madness.

Stephen Stewart

2 + 2 = 5, 3 + 3 = 4. Both were clearly false but not according to the Rules of Logic. Assuming, older ideas are better implies that it is true, we are social creatures by nature and cannot live in isolation. That is my opinion, I could be wrong. People infer, statements imply.

Max DeYoung

So far Omicron has only claimed one victim. That was Dec 24,2021 in Houston, by a man with underlying conditions. It's time to quit listening to our failed leadership, and move on with life.
