Oso planning to go pro
Chalk it up to a failed pick up line
looks like Denver and surrounding counties have decided it's time to move on from Omicron and masks and POV are no longer required:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7Q3XKz45kU“Our modeling makes it very clear that lifting the face covering order now is safe,” said Bob McDonald, the executive director of Denver’s Department of Public Health and Environment. “Cases are going to continue to decline and what that says is that Omicron has run out of fuel within our community.”“So beginning Friday, people will no longer be required under the public health order to wear masks or show proof of vaccination for entry into a business in Denver.”

Yep. Numbers of new cases are significantly dropping. Hospitals are still pretty full but my guess is those numbers will be falling off shortly too.
The very cautious countries in Europe dropping restrictions are honestly the most optimistic bellwethers for me
yes he did say this but i don't have the energy to go foraging...there is more and more info coming out that was at first canceled and now ok cuz the ny times and wapo give it their blessings. i.e. the lockdowns did no good(johns hopkins), the lab leak from CHINA and i'm sure more to come
Yes, and the FBI was behind the January 6th insurrection.
You'll never pass up an opportunity to make a purely political comment that has nothing to do with the topic, hey? No need to reply. It was a rhetorical question. In actual Covid news, in Illinois, numbers are declining rapidly, both new cases (63.5% decline since January 12) and hospitalizations (47.6% in the last 2 weeks).
It's wild how much harder the US got hit with deaths than Europe did over these Omicron waves. I wonder if the tail end of Delta getting mixed in with the beginning of Omicron is what go us.
I'm not certain that we go hit that much harder than Europe did as a function of total population. Might be true in the UK, where they were absolutely devastated by earlier waves, and they might have simply run out of vulnerable unvaccinated parts of the country.
I was thinking of this writeup from the NYT yesterday comparing the US's very high death rate vs other wealthy countries - https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/02/01/science/covid-deaths-united-states.html
Please proceed, anti-vaxxers.
