All they have to do is fly to central/South America then come walk across the border.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul issues state of emergency in response to omicron variant

All the lovely powers that come with those SoE.

I know you're trolling, but this has nothing to do with the Democrats alone.

It's both parties + the elite billionaires that want to create a technocratic utopia and transform our economy.

Nah, it's a virus and the response is typical government ineptitude.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul Issues State of Emergency in response to omicron variant

The state of emergency allows the New York Department of Health to limit non-essential and non-urgent hospital procedures in some situations

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul issued a state of emergency order on Friday in response to the identification of the COVID-19 omicron variant.

The emergency order is intended to increase hospital capacity in New York and will last until at least Jan. 15, when it will be reassessed.

According to a copy of the order, the state will utilize the "surge and flex system," which allows the Department of Health to limit non-essential and non-urgent hospital procedures in situations where a hospital has less than 10% staffed bed capacity.

Not all "small chances" are the same.

Excellent point! There’s a small chance you have a tiny bit of intelligence and there’s a small chance I’ll win the lottery. It seems I need to go buy a lottery ticket.

From an HIV patient in Africa?? Color me shocked..

I doubt the credibility of the story. This is fear porn.

Naturally immune? OK, but that plan didn't work too well for this guy. I don't agree with mandates but I do believe in the vaccine. It may not be a vaccine in the traditional sense but it does keep guys like this one off a ventilator

I believe early treatment keeps people off the ventilator. First symptoms or positive covid they should be treated. Not positive covid and symptomatic and send them home for 5-8 days without anything to stop the replication of the virus. Stop replication, they don’t end up in icu.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Oh yeah yet another “variant.” I guess Fauci got mad because people are starting to wake up so gotta push the fear porn out. Let me guess, 33% more infectious than delta right?

Flashback: Biden suggested Trump's coronavirus travel ban was 'xenophobic'

President Joe Biden has imposed travel restrictions into the United States due to coronavirus fears despite previously slamming former President Trump as xenophobic for doing the same thing in 2020.

Why the holy hell are they waiting until Monday?

Why are they doing it at all? Why are you for this?

 

[BP4Prez]

Not sure why anyone would be surprised by this. This thing is here to stay. Once this variant passes, there will be another.

Staff shortage is what this is likely about, considering there hasn’t been a single case identified in the US. No point in limiting non-urgent medical care at this point other than not having needed staff after firing many due to being unvaccinated.

“Omicron” variant. So scary sounding.

Here for our human horn.

So, the HIV Patient Zero from Botswana rumor isn't true?

New Botswana Variant with 32 'Horrific' Mutations is the Most Evolved Covid Strain EVER and could be 'worse than Delta' — as expert says it may have emerged in an HIV patient

British experts have sounded the alarm over a new Covid variant believed to have emerged in Botswana that is the most mutated version of the virus yet.

Only 10 cases of the strain, which could eventually be named 'Nu', have been detected so far.

But it has already been spotted in three countries, suggesting the variant is more widespread.

It carries 32 mutations, many of which suggest it is highly transmissible and vaccine-resistant, and has more alterations to its spike protein than any other variant.

Professor Francois Balloux, a geneticist at University College London, said it likely emerged in a lingering infection in an immunocompromised patient, possibly someone with undiagnosed AIDS.

Interesting... so for at least 2 weeks after you get a jab or booster, they can consider you unvaccinated? So if any hospitalizations or COVID infections occur during this period, they count towards the "unvaccinated"? Isn't that a way to stuff the books to give a bias in the data?
