yeah, I like those alternative history novels, have to give this show a try again.

BTW, has anyone who ordered these tests seen them in their mailbox yet? I haven't...

Don't worry, they're probably useless anyway.
I highly doubt they were kept under the required temperature control the whole journey.

*WASHINGTON — On Tuesday, Denmark lifted all of its remaining coronavirus restrictions — a moment that millions of Americans have been longing for, especially as the Omicron wave that began in December appears to be subsiding.

Recent [polling indicates that pandemic fatigue]('https://www.yahoo.com/news/poll-most-americans-arent-done-with-covid-but-new-numbers-hint-they-may-be-soon-131806531.html') is rising among ordinary Americans, a trend that elected officials have noticed. “We need to move away from the pandemic,” Gov. Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas said on Monday, [after he and other governors met with President Biden]('https://www.yahoo.com/news/governors-look-to-move-beyond-covid-restrictions-and-return-to-a-great-state-of-normality-202729958.html').

Denmark is an enticing vision of what could be. So is the U.K., [where coronavirus safety measures were dispensed with in mid-January]('https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-60047438'). But neither the president nor his top public health officials [have been eager]('https://www.politico.com/news/2022/02/03/white-house-omicron-next-phase-pandemic-00005033') to signal an end to the emergency phase of the pandemic by lifting any remaining federal restrictions or softening safety recommendations (such as in-school masking).

The reason is simple, the challenge intractable: The fast-moving Omicron variant is still causing more than 2,500 U.S. deaths a day — and not nearly enough vulnerable Americans have received their booster shots to prevent the next serious variant from taking a similarly tragic toll.

The reason is simple, the challenge intractable: The fast-moving Omicron variant is still causing [more than 2,500 U.S. deaths a day]('https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/us/covid-cases.html') — and not nearly enough vulnerable Americans have received their booster shots to prevent the next serious variant from taking a similarly tragic toll.

So far, despite an endless supply of shots and months of easy access, barely a quarter of the U.S. population (27 percent) has received a booster — less than half the Danish (61 percent) or British (55 percent) rate.

Even among Americans who’ve already received their initial vaccine doses and are eligible for another, nearly 50 percent have yet to get a booster, which offers much greater protection against serious or critical COVID-19 illness than what continues to count for full vaccination (two doses of the mRNA vaccines manufactured by Pfizer or Moderna, or a single Johnson & Johnson shot).

A [new CDC study of the Omicron surge in Los Angeles]('https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7105e1.htm') found that while vaccinated people were 5.3 times less likely to end up in the hospital than the unvaccinated, boosted people were 23 times less likely to do so, meaning that boosters afforded four times more protection against hospitalization than a first-series vaccination alone.*

That right there is funny

Guess big pharma better dream up their new scam cash cow.

Drugs are where the big money is, not vaccines. My pension is funded by a drug that generates over a billion dollars in sales a year. Vaccines don't come close...

I agree Sir.

Completely.

Which drug?

VIAGRA…

Figures .

VIAGRA…

Fixated on Viagra Cellie?? Hmmmm...

Viagra is out in generic now so its sales number have tanked. I don't think it ever sold more than $5 billion a year even in it's heyday.

Right now the top 3 selling drugs total over $40 billion in yearly sales. My "Sugar Daddy" accounted for 1/2 that number. I was pleasantly surprised at that number as I haven't checked in a while...

Did learn something else, and that is the best selling vaccine, Prevnar 13 is the 14th biggest $ pharmaceutical with $5.8 billion in sales

Can’t take a joke… LoL

Napoleon Complex?

Which drug?

Crack.

What kills me is that an administration that is so fixated on disparities, is ready to launch a 4th shot if needed while most poorer countries have a 2-5% vax rate.

At some point, you need to stop mandating and listen to the people. If a segment of the population refuses the vax, work around it.

The one thing that stands out after all this is that a person no longer has a right to privacy. HIPPA has become obsolete!

Bigger government has ruined this country.

They would push 5 , 6, 7 shoots if the thought they had the time , alas the dont .
Up until the time they feel comfortable declaring a win

make no matter if they work or not
Nothing matters except the proclamation of a win

sadly for this one the facts are emerging that everything they have continued to push is a bust and doing more harm than good

but there is 0 chance of this or any administration admitting that they have been 100 percent wrong , tossing out money like m n ms destroying the economy and jabbing ppl with who knows what for little more than the optics of doing something

wait for it
Soon they will announce the pandemic is over , their policies have defeated the covid threat , it’s now at a manageable level and move on
Not because anything they have done has moved the needle , simply because they have to and must announce a win or accept the Loss and that they can not accept on any level
Sad
Sadder that so many of you played along

Crack.

You're right, estimated worldwide sales of Cocaine are between $110 - 130 billion, the biggest selling drug on the planet...

At a minimum we full understand all the negatives associated with cocaine

unlike some legal drugs
