South Korea Expecting a Spring Time Omicron COVID Surge
The Omicron is coming:
Health authorities and experts are warning of another upsurge of COVID-19 infections in the spring months due to the fast spread of the omicron variant.
Park Hyang, a senior official of the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency(KDCA), at a regular media briefing on Tuesday said expectations are that the nation will not be able to deal with the omicron strain in the same way it did with the delta, given the sheer speed at which omicron spreads.
Accordingly, Park said, officials are considering changes to the current COVID-19 testing systems, and not ruling out the possibility of allowing small-size medical clinics to treat COVID-19 patients, given a possible spike in mild COVID-19 patients.

And now this out of a Danish study….trust the science GI. The stunning results showed that Omicron was 1.17 times more contagious in unvaccinated people, 2.61 times more contagious in those vaccinated twice, and 3.66 times more contagious in triple vaccinated people. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.27.21268278v1.full
Sad when anyone dies “young”. Regardless of how many times they were or weren’t jabbed. And my definition of “young” is under the age of 99 like Betty White.

Please forgive me. I don’t have much room to mourn athletes who weren’t in a military uniform while we’re still fighting useless wars. I know it’s a small difference to the grieving family and friends; but our “leaders” use us to score political points, in uniform or out.
Yeah, that’s been the history of the world since there were leaders; but I don’t have to like it.
From the beginning of the “pandemic”, the emphasis should have been on therapy, not prevention. There will likely never be any “vaccine” that can handle the wide ranges of mutations possible with the many corona viruses.
All we know for certain is that there are no Safe and Effective politicians.
