Political? What about my post didn't fit this thread?This isn’t the political forum. Keep it out of this thread.
By calling it “the sniffles” you are denying it’s anything to worry about while it’s impacting the entire world.Political? What about my post didn't fit this thread?
I simply responded with a critique of the TikTok you posted and quoted that video. He's the ones who made the claim about omicron If you don't believe it fits the thread then maybe you should remove yours.
And that's not allowed in this thread? No criticism of TikTok vids?By calling it “the sniffles” you are denying it’s anything to worry about while it’s impacting the entire world.
That’s what deniers do, downplay it.
Omicron variant surge causes Houston, Texas Harris County to raise COVID-19 threat level to 'Orange'
Harris County raises threat level from yellow to orange due to ‘explosive growth’ of omicron variant
Vaccines have greatly changed the trajectory of someone who gets COVID and seems to be resulting in much lower hospitalization rates. While Omicron is proving to be more transmissable than Delta, we still don't know how hospitalizations will be impacted by the new variant. Much will be decided in the next 2-3 weeks as we see what hospitalizations look like after the holidays.It's most definitely here but those getting it are not ending up in the hospitals, much less ICU.

Omicron only really started popping off about a week ago so we can expect the hospitalizations to start going up next week (unless it turns out to be much milder than other variants, which will be great)Again, they're not ending up in the hospitals.

Prayers sent to her and her husband. It really is amazing how quickly omicron is spreading. In about 1 week it has replaced delta in this country to become the dominant variant.Four out of seven people in one department have tested positive. I'll assume its the new variant.
It's an issue for businesses, still. Half the shift is out at a time when we really need them.
Not to mention the fact the people I know who have it feel road kill, but nobody has been hospitalized and I am extremely thankful for that.
I'm most worried about one of them whose husband is fighting cancer, and doing chemo. She could use your prayers if you're a praying person.
I have a staff in STL, and my assistant is getting over it, along with her 11 yr old and her 21 year old. Her husband had a massive heart attack in 2019, and this crap has terrified them since it started. By God's grace they have kept her husband from getting it.Prayers sent to her and her husband. It really is amazing how quickly omicron is spreading. In about 1 week it has replaced delta in this country

My dad and my daughter-in-law's mother both had the antibody therapy and it made a HUGE difference!Have a breakthrough case, consider the antibodies treatment, especially if someone is immunocompromised.
