Even your hated media admit it's likely less severe.

The concern is that, with a rate of infection so high, will the scale of infected people mean that even if a small percentage get severely ill, will that disrupt hospitals. 

I don't think anyone can be definitive either way, at this point. 

Sounds like a lotta hooey to me. The common cold is also highly prevalent, but mild.

The good news is, some of those that were forced out of a job rather than compromise on their convictions, some will become whistleblowers.

Yes, vote NDP if you want a debt crisis.  Unlimited immigration, and unlimited borrowing, printing and spending money.  No thanks.  There’s a happy medium.

Manitoba's NDP ran balanced budgets for more than 10 years in a row. Overall, the NDP's fiscal record for acquiring debt is better than the other two parties.

So maybe, once again, you don't know what you're talking about.

Their only real blemish is that time when a Liberal was leading their party in Ontario.

Yes, I am aware you complained to the mods that I kept pointing out your errors and you felt attacked and unable to defend yourself. Again, you don't have to tell us how brave you are. This is a safe space.  

It does appear Omicron presents with Cold symptoms. Different from previous variants. 

Testing capability is being overtaxed, because who doesn't have cold symptoms in the middle of December? 

I understand the list of people Bubber is not allowed to respond to keeps getting longer.

Omicron does not respect vaccines or boosters, from what I’ve read.  But I understand the need and motivation people have…

Far milder strain of coronavirus, you say? Ok, sounds fine.  I’m more of a “bring it on” attitude.

Life is not about hiding.

Are we men, or are we mice?

How come everybody who is scared of the vaccine feels the need to say how brave they are?

Do you call them that? 

Not usually.

It sucks we're back to this. 

Can we get the Northern Division back? 

I still don’t understand limiting the capacity of fully vaccinated people in a building.

Yeah it's a tough one. But you are in pretty close contact with people at a sports venue. 

True.

Life must be hard when you have to simplify everything to the most imbecilic black and white interpretation. In your understanding, a vaccine can only be 0% effective or 100% effective. This is why you flunked.

Why are you anti-vaxx?  Why don’t you acknowledge that if you do get covid after being vaccinated to prevents serious illness?  That’s why as cases have spiked, hospitalizations have remained flat.  Case counts don’t matter nearly as much now with 85*% being fully vaccinated and almost 90% having at least one dose.  Stop pretending this is 2020 or early 2021.  It’s unscientific.

Your reading comprehension is terrible. That must be problematic for you in life.

It was hilarious when you tried to pretend you aren't an anti-vaxxer. Everybody was in on the joke but you.

I’m not.  I’m fully vaccinated.

So you are a parody account after all?

It’s a fact.

Really does seem like this would be a good variant to catch. Yet on Canadian media the branch covidians are already prophesying our impending doom.

Scroll a bit more down and it says “CDC: Omicron variant reportedly extremely mild.”

Good summation, shady. Omicron is the way out of this mess. People should be lining up to get the virus.

“When one person dies, the whole world dies.”

Unless it’s someone with treatable cancer.  Then it’s too bad so sad.

I've been wondering.  He and BCSapper seem to have disappeared.

Maybe they got a room?

Mitigation prevented us from reaching those numbers, so by halfwit logic that proves mitigation is unnecessary and ineffective.

But does mitigation mean telling people they're breaking the law by doing Christmas, like they have in the past? 

Bubber, that 4000 case projection was including mitigation measures.  You don’t know what you’re taking about.  Why are you so stubborn?

It’s the wild un-targeted spending that has caused inflation.  Denmark had much more logical and targeted spending.  Unlike our federal government that borrowed and printed money like a drunken sailor.

So then nothing to do with covid but you thought to manipulate the data to discredit mitigation efforts. Good Putin bot.

The reason Inflation is a caused by COVID is that people aren't spending their money on services anymore. They're buying products, renovating and investing in their homes. That's caused a shortage in products and has hurt supply chains, causing inflation. 

Keep making excuses for your disastrous policies.

I did not help to destroy unions. That policy was all you guys.

Carbon taxes have been in play for years now. And JT was re-elected with further Carbon Taxes being a plank of his campaign. 

The inflation is caused by demand, meaning someone is spending money? We're not in a recession anymore.

Some businesses are doing well. No financial news is good news, there are always winners and losers. 

Yep.  Several federal courts say otherwise.

Your’e dangerous to freedom and liberty.

Calling out halfwits for cheering on deadly riots in real time isn't dangerous to freedom and liberty...wait. According to the update I received yesterday, it may be dangerous to the halfwit's freedom and liberty after all.

Keep getting those “updates”.

I guess Vlad Putin told the old man where to go and what to do. And smokin Joe has capitulated.

Evidently these issues are causing a mental dilemma for those who were already somewhat unstable to begin with. It's better that they look away. Look away...  

Biden has done more for Russia in less than a year than Trump has ever done in his lifetime.

Also, the modelling released this week doesn't predict catastrophe. It predict a relatively manageable growth in ICU usage an infection. Reasonable considering we're entering the coldest part of the year. But nothing close to what was seen a year ago or in the spring. 

If they were looking to force everyone back in their homes and bubbles nefariously, for whatever reason, they could have released much more dire predictions. 

I'll concede the fringe left is definitely lighting their hair on fire panicking about omicron. It's not helpful. Completely ignoring it as a hoax also isn't helpful. 

I look at the real world history of experience, not just your headline scanning methods.

Those points I raised were on CBC.

Yeah yeah, my ignorance blah blah blah. It's fine for you to get personal and make me look foolish. That is the prevailing attitude of pro-government mandate types. Some may even be here as paid Liberal party shills.

I have yet to see good leadership on this in terms of handling the message, and to hear my concerns that every person be accommodated. Not just you comfortable types, but those who are affected by the restrictions themselves. I do not accept that we write off those people, for the good of the others. That's not good enough, Boges.

The good Dr. et al have no answers to that, just their incessant and increasingly irrelevant, wrong, hyper-reactive mantra. Do not buy a car from this man.

Whatever it takes. I'm certainly not an antivaxxer too cowardly to even admit it. 

Whatever it takes for what?  Everyone is going to get covid at some point, just like the flu.  Eat healthy and exercise and you have literally nothing to worry about.  And it’s much better for your overall health than injecting yourself with chemicals every 6 months for an indefinite period of time.  But I realize, like other unhealthy obese people, sitting in a chair and letting somebody jab you is all the effort you’re willing to put in to help yourself against this virus you supposedly think is so deadly.  You’d think people that were so scared of covid would be willing to do more than just sit in a chair.

I don't want to contribute to its spread, dummy. I can't believe your thick brain cannot process the concept of an airborne pathogen that mutates the more it is spread. All you're able to conceive of is  worrying about yourself. This is the surest sign of a childless Incel. It's a grand thing you people will never be able to reproduce.
