January 16, 2022: Omega

No matter what the next strain of COVID is called, it will be Omega for me, because I am done with it.

We should focus on investigating and holding accountable those who funded gain of function in Wuhan, and everyone who lied about it.

We should at this point be treating something less deadly than the flu for the vast majority of us, the same way we deal with flu. Stay home if you are sick. Otherwise carry on and realize that fear and anxiety are incredibly bad for your health.

If you are high risk, vaccinated people are dying less than the unvaccinated according to most of the reliable data I can see.

If you are low risk, Omicron is not something worth being worried about at all. If you are low risk and you already recovered from COVID, it is likely you won’t even realize you have Omicron. Thankfully, the number of COVID recovered people in the hospital with Omicron is vanishingly small.

Our data is being kept in idiotic ways currently. Stage IV cancer, on hospice, died with COVID and a COVID death. Most COVID deaths according to the CDC had 4 comorbidities…did some people die from COVID? Without any doubt. Are these numbers done in a way that makes it certain our COVID deaths are massively inflated because we don’t differentiate with and from COVID? Yes.

We also have massive numbers of “hospitalized” people who have COVID but are not in the hospital because of that. Cut your thumb off with a chainsaw and have Omicron? Hospitalized on the COVID test score (and they are testing everybody).

We could have better and clearer data, so it is worth asking yourself why we don’t have it.

CDC is down to 5 days. Thankfully midterms are coming up and while they cannot hide the destruction of our economy, or our global reputation, they will certainly declare COVID is over before November.

Go ahead and get a head start. Exercise, eat well, spend time in the sun, love your friends and your enemies with the power of God and realize that COVID should be on your list of things to worry about now below gas prices.
