So

Is public health back in small boardrooms with bad ventilation yet?

Will they quietly provide themselves good ventilation? Hmm.🤡

“Adults hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infections in Switzerland died at 1.5 times the rate of those diagnosed as having influenza A or B, shows a multicenter study published yesterday in JAMA Network Open. Patients with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant had a higher risk of in-hospital mortality than those with influenza.” #COVID19

The told us #COVID19 risks were exaggerated.
They told us you could only get it once and we'd achieve herd immunity.
They told us kids were at no risk.
They told us vaccines were risky.
They told us Long COVID was a mental illness.
The told us Omicron was mild.
They told us repeat infections would be safe.
They told us masks don't work.
They told us COVID was over or endemic.
They're going to keep lying. The only question is why so many people keep listening and repeating those lies.

There is an event horizon rapidly approaching in which all of these teachers have been repeatedly reinfected and can no longer work at all. And an entire nation's children immunocompromised by multiple covid reinfections before age 10.

Billionaires should not exist.

It may be that a new variant, XBF, is growing rapidly and possibly increasing fatality rate. It's too early to know, but the risk of a more deadly variant persists as we continue to encourage too much transmission and spread. https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/coronavirus-data-explorer?zoomToSelection=true&time=2020-03-01..latest&facet=none&pickerSort=asc&pickerMetric=location&Metric=Confirmed+deaths&Interval=7-day+rolling+average&Relative+to+Population=false&Color+by+test+positivity=false&country=~SWE

I’d been hearing about the coal-mine protests in Germany, but this photo by Sean Gallup is the first that gave me a real sense of the titanic size of the thing and what’s being protested. Just… unreal.
