Going by the CS anti-vaccine regiment, there won't be many Reps left to vote by 2024, and those left, that are vaccinated, are by CS standards, too stupid to vote Republican.
And if you are suggesting the democrat senate are leaving in droves then you miss that the REP senate will also mostly be dead by 2024.
Kind of shooting oneself in the foot by the republicans.
According to the Manchester Evening news, there were 132 hospitalizations in the UK in the last week from omicron, 205 were unvaccinated, the majority had two vaccinations and 17 had the booster shot, showing the vaccine with the booster is actually working.
It is just as likely the governments want to reduce the burden on hospitals, and reduce unnecessary preventable deaths.
80-90% of hospitalisations in the UK since mid-Nov are those unvaccinated, indicating the vaccines are working well, especially the booster as those above 60 years are rare to be hospitalised.
To assume the governments are using a virus to take control of citizens is an assumption only a tin hat wearer would make.
Governments already control the population. they have no need to add an expensive virus into the mix
Well Doh, obviously the N95/FFP2 type mask is better, but they are not always available to those who need them, The US is a first world country as in Canada, but this virus is not selective as per country, there are millions of people worldwide who would have to decide if a mask is better than eating or drinking for two-three days. Cost is an important factor.
As said before ANY type of face covering is better than none, even a hand can reduce the spread from a sneeze or cough.
For your information, I am both a British and Kenyan citizen, so when refused entry to the Philippines I was sent to the country of the passport I used which is the UK, had I realised I would be in the UK for 2 years I would have used my Kenyan passport and gone there, but I foolishly assumed I would be in the UK for two months max on the advice of the Philippine customs officer.
Hope that satisfies your question. and please, don't expect me to reply again.
The devastation the typhoon has caused is beyond incredulous, the death toll is now up to 326, while 58 are missing, Hundreds of thousands are homeless, and a week has gone by with no electricity, water and communications, and it will take several more weeks to rectify.
The British Red Cross is giving aid where they can, but the most important right now is getting water to the southern parts still cut off with blocked roads from landslides etc.
Cebu and Visayas regions of The Philippines will not be enjoying a very happy Christmas this year.
Those who voice constantly that masks don't work, how about you use your time to invent something better?
Whatever YALE has come up with it is interesting the report has not been peer-reviewed yet, not been approved by any credible medical authority, so is, in fact, totally meaningless.
Any covering of the mouth and nose HAS TO HAVE SOMEE EFFECT, I was taught as a child to cover my mouth with my hand if I coughed, I was also taught to use a tissue or handkerchief if I sneezed, both done to protect those around me from any germs I may carry.
Until someone comes up with a better way to limit infection a mask makes total sense when in a place surrounded by people.
Apart from the lag in reporting time you fail to take notice that those hospitalised are those mainly unvaccinated and by large percentage compared with vaccinated, they are taking up the beds the sick vaccinated left when they recovered, but now the recovery rate is also dropping as the unvaccinated die rather than recover.
You can twist statistics whichever way you want, the FACT REMAINS THA GETTING VACCINATED SAVES LIVES, REDUCES HOSPITAL ATTENDANCE AND HELPS WITH LONG TERM COVID PROBLEMS.
No point in taking out your anger on me, I am merely reporting a fact as shown by the article I posted. take your anger out on those who have more qualifications than you or me.
Snow, I find it reprehensible the way certain people continue to spread lies and misinformation regarding the virus and vaccines, they fail to understand that this virus kills and the vaccines are proven to lessen the risk of dying.
By continuously denying the virus exists and refusing to get vaccinated for whatever reason, they are making the situation worse.
As so often is the case, a minority, through stupidity and selfishness, exacerbate the situation and then claim to be the victim when the rulings increase and then affect their lifestyle.
Red, I have little problem with those who wish to remain unvaccinated as long as they stay away from my family.
What I have a problem with is the constant lies pushed by the anti-vax cult to try and dissuade people not to get vaccinated, that choice should not be dictated on a dating site forum.
Exred, my local hospital is so overwhelmed with unvaccinated taking up beds they are shipping patients to hospitals in Birmingham.
The suggestion those unvaccinated are not exacerbating the whole virus problem is fake news and anyone saying it is lies, should be imprisoned in my opinion.
My Grandson is still in ICU but getting better, his other grandfather (unvaccinated) is to doing so well.
• OVERVIEW: According to the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), Tropical Cyclone (TC) RAI (Odette) has intensified into a TYPHOON as of 0700 HRS UTC +7 of 15 Dec. TC RAI (Odette) further intensified while moving westnorthwestward at 25 km/h over the Philippine Sea.
• INTENSITY: Maximum sustained winds of 130 km/h near the centre ang gustiness of up to 160 km/h, and central pressure of 970 hPa. Strong winds or higher extend outwards up to 400 km from the centre.
• FORECAST
1.Movement: forecasted to move west-northwestward until this evening or tomorrow morning then move westwards after. On the forecast track, the centre of the tropical cyclone is expected to make landfall in the vicinity of Caraga or Eastern Visayas tomorrow (16 Dec) afternoon or evening. It is then forecast to move generally westward and cross several provinces in Central and Western Visayas, emerge in Sulu Sea by 17 Dec and cross Northern Palawan before emerging in the West Philippine Sea.
2.Intensity: further intensification is expected today through tomorrow (16 Dec) as the typhoon crosses the Philippine Sea and may reach a peak intensity of 155 km/h prior to making landfall tomorrow afternoon. This tropical cyclone may see some slight weakening as it crosses the Visayas and Palawan, but it is forecast to remain within the typhoon category. Reintensification is likely once TC RAI (Odette) emerges over the West Philippine Sea.
No Mic it is a mistake to constantly degenerate the vaccines with less than an iota of medical expertise. Had the man been vaccinated it is unlikely he would have infected my grandson. That is a fact, whether or not you agree is of no importance, the other fact is the child is seriously ill, so excuse me if I am angry at the selfish c_nts who have done this.
My grandson aged 14 months is now in ICU with covid, due to his mother's father refusing to get vaccinated and infecting the child. The arshole even knew he was infected but said nothing to the child's parents when they visited him last weekend.
This is why it is so important to follow the guidelines put in place to protect the community.

Omicron variant appears to be ‘super mild‘ mutation with Covid death rate not jumping
Apologies should read 27 unvaccinated, crumbs in my keyboard is the only excuse I can offer.
