Health agencies have labeled the new omicron coronavirus variant a "variant of concern" and are watching to see if this heavily mutated strain is more easily spread.

I voted no, because the doc in South Africa said it was mild...and nobody has died of Omicron. So the media is just being assholes again with their scare porn. It'd be nice if instead of being maliciously irresponsible trash, the ppl going to J school could actually be rational & sane again.

The Border Patrol recorded nearly 1.7 million apprehensions last year, eclipsing the record set in 2000. None of these are vaccinated, and many are allowed to stay, after being sent all over the USA. Why would I be concerned. Biden appears to know how serious this is, and he doesn't care.

I'm fully vaccinated, so I'm less concerned that unvaccinated should be. COVID can be fatal. Please get the shot, even just one is helpful to everyone.

I have changed my insurance providers, but not my doctors.

Barbara Williams

We have to wait for continuity of care approval, tho it’s only for a short time, then have to find several new doctors
