Omicron may seem unavoidable, but experts say 'let it rip' isn't the solution

Despite Omicron gaining a reputation as a 'mild' virus variant, doctors say Canadians can't afford to be so cavalier about Omicron. While the risks of infection seem lower to some individuals, abetting the variant's supercharged spread would have devastating consequences across society.

More than half of Canadians think they’re doomed to get sick with COVID-19 as the Omicron variant spreads across the country, according to a poll from the Angus Reid Institute.

The silver lining there is, if we have lost 100k people, 75k will be republican. With 10 months to go until the midterms, the democrats will have a golden opportunity to get rid of DeSantis and Rubio.

France: Virus law banning unvaccinated from public venues passed

The new law requires full vaccination to go to restaurants, movie theatres, museums, and many sites throughout the country.

www.euronews.com

France’s parliament approved a law Sunday that will exclude unvaccinated people from all restaurants, sports arenas, and other venues — the central measure of government efforts to protect hospitals amid record numbers of infections driven by the highly contagious Omicron variant.

The National Assembly adopted the law by a vote of 215-58. Centrist president Emmanuel Macron had hoped to push the bill through faster, but it was slightly delayed by resistance from lawmakers both on the right and left and hundreds of proposed amendments.

More than 91 per cent of French adults are already fully vaccinated, and some critics have questioned whether the “vaccine pass” will make much of a difference.


Up to now, a COVID-19 pass has been required in France to go to restaurants, movie theatres, museums and many sites throughout the country, but unvaccinated people have been allowed in if they show a recent negative test or proof of recent recovery.
The new law requires full vaccination for such venues, including tourist sites, many trains and all domestic flights, and applies to everyone 16 and over.

Some exceptions could be made for those who recently recovered from COVID-19. The law also imposes tougher fines for fake passes and allows ID checks to avoid fraud.
More than 76 per cent of French ICU beds are occupied by virus patients, most of them unvaccinated, and some 200 people with the virus are dying every day.
Like many countries, France is in the grip of the Omicron variant, recording more than 2,800 positive cases per 100,000 people over the past week.

Exactly. We should follow the DeSantis model and not test. No test = no pandemic, right?

The sad thing is that this type of thinking has been the norm for the GOP for a while:

Some interesting reading:

An international metastudy led by researchers at Karolinska Institutet has identified a specific gene variant that protects against severe COVID-19 infection. The researchers managed to pinpoint the variant by studying people of different ancestries, a feat they say highlights the importance of conducting clinical trials that include people of diverse descents. The results are published in the journal Nature Genetics.

In addition to old age and certain underlying diseases, genetics can influence whether we become severely affected or only suffer mild illness from COVID-19. Previous studies on mainly people of European ancestry have found that individuals carrying a particular segment of DNA have a 20 percent lower risk of developing a critical COVID-19 infection. This DNA segment encodes genes in the immune system and is inherited from Neanderthals in about half of all people outside Africa.

We show that a haplotype on chromosome 12, which is associated with a ∼22% reduction in relative risk of becoming severely ill with COVID-19 when infected by SARS-CoV-2, is inherited from Neandertals. This haplotype is present at substantial frequencies in all regions of the world outside Africa. The genomic region where this haplotype occurs encodes proteins that are important during infections with RNA viruses.

Valentine's Day coming soon which will guaranteed cause another surge.

Next month is February.

If you love south of the Mason/Dixon line in America, it starts warming up.

More folks outdoors getting in each other’s face.

Followed by March which leads into the first day of Spring, Spring break and the entire country starting to warm up.

Which will open the door for a new variant to pop up somewhere in the Northern Hemisphere of the Earth to unleash havoc.

It’s gonna be a long hot summer….

This is insane. REALLY insane. And people are still treating Covid like a cold or a flu. The thing is nobody knows the long term effects of Covid on your body. It's a weird virus. Some people end up messed up 5 months later after they've recovered and think they're ok. Athletes who run out of breath months later from a little jog or excercise. I'm not trying to gamble my health with the unknown. Not trying to catch Omicron of any other type of variant of this virus.
