Got my flu vac two weeks agoFlu season is on the way!
Cdc today says 472 deaths per day, USA.
472x365= 172,280 per year run rate
Flu: 40-60 thousand per year.
Sounds more like Bush: Mission Accomplished to me.
Insurance pays better for car deaths than COVID deaths.But... If you are decapitated in a car accident, and have covid, it's a covid death. There's money to be made in covid deaths. Car wrecks... not so much.
Are you terrified, snowflake?Brandon’s remarks have caused quite a stir among media purveyors of panic porn, public health bureaucrats, pork-addicted politicians, and Wall Street.
A sampling of the hair-on-fire headlines:
Lol. Not as terrified as your hero Dr. Fauci or your trusted news outlets like NYT, WaPo, etc.Are you terrified, snowflake?

I'm double boosted with bivalent.In conclusion, the basic reproductive number varies during the course of the disease and is also based on epidemiological factors like susceptible population characteristics, disease transmissibility rate, and control measures adopted. R0 helps the governments across the world to estimate the future caseloads, to strategize accordingly to accomplish containment goals within the specified time to avoid any unfavorable condition

In response to Biden’s declaration, Representative Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) tweeted, “If ‘the pandemic is over’ as Biden says, then all of the president’s emergency powers predicated on a pandemic, all COVID vax mandates, the emergency powers of every governor, emergency use authorizations, and the PREP act should all be voided tomorrow.”
Similarly, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) tweeted, "Biden admitted last night that the COVID pandemic is over. In other words, there is no 'ongoing emergency' to justify his proposal for student loan handouts.
The Washington Post reports that “Biden’s remarks caught some senior officials off guard.” Anonymous administration officials told the Post they were concerned the president’s statement would make it harder for the administration to persuade Americans to get shots or secure new money from Congress. The White House is seeking an additional $22 billion from Congress to fight the pandemic, according to the New York Times.
"When you have the president of the U.S. saying the pandemic is over, why would people line up for their boosters? Why would Congress allocate additional funding for these other strategies and tools?" said Dr. Celine Gounder, an epidemiologist and senior fellow with the Kaiser Family Foundation. "I am profoundly disappointed. I think this is a real lack of leadership."
JeezusFuckingChrist.

“President Joe Biden's contention in a recent interview that the "pandemic is over" is complicating Senate Democrats' efforts to secure needed Republican support for COVID-19 relief funding that had been requested by Biden's administration.”
