    Okay, I lied, I 100% think you specifically are an idiot.  Yes, personal attack, you specifically are an idiot in my educated opinion…and I have a degree in Sociology and Psychology so I’m pretty good at spotting them.  (Kat, go ahead and remove this when you please)
    Degree in Sociology and Psychology and anger management issues. Just great.

    I am not angry, just calling it what it is.  At some point an idiot needs to be called an idiot in the same way an alcoholic should be called an alcoholic. I am pretty good at managing anger, actually.  Just stating facts.

    Well my pre-Covid sniffles weren’t known to cause erectile disfunction or long term mental and vascular issues, so…..
    If I was ever running fevers I typically wouldn’t be around others to avoid getting them sick…it’s called caring for others…empathy, a trait that non-sociopaths and non-psychopaths identify with… 
    You are assuming a hell of a lot with the mask wearing…but those are great examples of strawman comments.  
    And a whole bunch of other shit cause erectile dysfunction…talk to your urologist.  Maybe he can help you out.  The flu kills the elderly? The cold and flu can get the elderly very sick, so you only care when told to care …

    And how to spot somebody with a degree? Don't worry. They'll tell you.

    Wow, the projection here amazes me.  Point to where I said I have erectile disfunction.  I just stated it is one of the known side effects of a bad case of Covid.  I have yet to catch Covid, so…..
    And, as stated, if I am sick, I try not to be around the elderly or anyone for that matter.  Usually I’ll take the day off and focus on healing…do you not?

    True, preventative treatment maybe?
    And losing weight and taking better care of yourself is good preventative treatment as well…

    Right. Degree in psychology and sociology, but works at the restaurant because of the anger issues.

    im not opposed to vaccines.  I am opposed to expecting me to take a vaccine every few months because they don’t know…

    what i am opposed to is fatty getting on tv whining about the unvaccinated when he has done sweet fuck all to lose weight…

    Biden highlighting federal 'surge' to help weather omicron
    By ZEKE MILLER
    9 mins ago

    WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is highlighting the federal government's efforts to “surge” COVID-19 testing and military medical personnel to help overwhelmed medical facilities weather the spike in coronavirus cases and staff shortages due to the highly transmissible omicron variant.

    Starting next week, 1,000 military medical personnel will begin arriving to help mitigate staffing crunches at hospitals across the country. Many facilities are struggling because their workers are in at-home quarantines due to the virus at the same time as a nationwide spike in COVID-19 cases. The new deployments will be on top of other federal medical personnel who have already been sent to states to help with acute shortages.

    Biden planned to deliver remarks Thursday morning on the “surge response” to COVID-19, the White House said. The administration's focus is shifting to easing disruptions from the nationwide spike in cases that is also contributing to grocery shortages and flight cancellations.

    On Tuesday, Janet Woodcock, the acting head of the Food and Drug Administration, told Congress that the highly transmissible strain will infect “most people” and that the focus should turn to ensuring critical services can continue uninterrupted.

    “I think it’s hard to process what’s actually happening right now, which is: Most people are going to get COVID, all right?” she said. “What we need to do is make sure the hospitals can still function — transportation, other essential services are not disrupted while this happens.”

    The White House said Biden would also announce that he is directing his team to double its procurement of rapid COVID-19 tests to be delivered for free to Americans through a forthcoming federal website, as he seeks to respond to criticism over shortages and long lines for tests. The initial order was for 500 million tests, and now the federal government will purchase 1 billion at-home testing kits.

    The White House said Biden would be joined by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who recently recovered from his own case of COVID-19, and FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell. They will spotlight the work of the more than 800 military personnel who have been helping civilian hospitals since Thanksgiving and the more than 14,000 National Guard members whose work supporting vaccinations, testing and caring for patients is being covered by the federal government.

    The White House said the trio would speak with federal personnel who are already on the ground in Arizona, Michigan and New York to hear about their experiences.

    Biden will also announce that six additional military medical teams will be deployed to Michigan, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio and Rhode Island.

    The White House said the teams will support Henry Ford Hospital just outside Detroit, University Hospital in Newark, the University of New Mexico hospital in Albuquerque, Coney Island Hospital in Brooklyn, Cleveland Clinic and Rhode Island Hospital in Providence.

    Today

    LONDON (AP) — The air conditioners hum constantly in the lab at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, countering the heat thrown off by rows of high-tech sequencing machines that work seven days a week analyzing the genetic material of COVID-19 cases from throughout the U.K.

    The laboratory is one example of how British scientists have industrialized the process of genomic sequencing during the pandemic, cutting the time and cost needed to generate a unique genetic fingerprint for each coronavirus case analyzed. That made the U.K. a world leader in COVID-19 sequencing, helping public health authorities track the spread of new variants, develop vaccines and decide when to impose lockdowns.

    But now researchers at the Sanger Institute in Cambridge and labs around the U.K. have a new mission: sharing what they’ve learned with other scientists because COVID-19 has no regard for national borders.

    The omicron variant now fueling a new wave of infection around the world shows the need for global cooperation, said Ewan Harrison, a senior research fellow at Sanger. Omicron was first identified by scientists in southern Africa who quickly published their findings, giving public health authorities around the world time to prepare.

    You and your posts have gone off the rails completely. 

    I just typed a long response, but realized that it would fall of deaf ears. It's not worth getting into an internet discussion with someone that is incapable of actually having a discussion, as your posts have proven.

    Kids' low COVID-19 vaccination rates called a 'gut punch'
    By LINDSEY TANNER
    Yesterday

    Distrust, misinformation and delays because of the holidays and bad weather have combined to produce what authorities say are alarmingly low COVID-19 vaccination rates in U.S. children ages 5 to 11.

    As of Tuesday, just over 17% were fully vaccinated, more than two months after shots became available to the age group. While Vermont is at 48%, California is just shy of 19% and Mississippi is at only 5%.

    Vaccinations among the elementary school set surged after the shots were introduced in the fall, but the numbers have crept up slowly since then, and omicron’s explosive spread appears to have had little effect.

    The low rates are “very disturbing,’’ said Dr. Robert Murphy, executive director for the Institute for Global Health at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine. “It’s just amazing."

    Parents who hesitate “are taking an enormous risk and continuing to fuel the pandemic,’’ Murphy said.

    Hospitalizations of children under 18 with COVID-19 in the U.S. have climbed to their highest levels on record in the past few weeks. Many have other conditions made worse by COVID-19, though many aren't sick enough to require intensive care.

    The low vaccination rates and rising hospitalizations are “a gut punch, especially when we’ve been working so hard to keep these kids well,’’ said Dr. Natasha Burgert, a pediatrician in Overland Park, Kansas.

    The vaccines have proved highly safe and effective at reducing the risk of severe illness, hospitalization and death.

    Let me rephrase-phrase. I never meant you had erectile dysfunction.  Talk to your urologist about all the causes of ED.  Sorry for the confusion.  So why no take all the precautions necessary to one’s self…one way to help is lose weight, eat better, quit alcohol…all those things will help your immune system fight Covid if one gets it.

    im not opposed to vaccines.  I am opposed to expecting me to take a vaccine every few months because they don’t know…

    Okay, I agree with pretty much everything above.  But literally the easiest thing you can do out of all of the above is get vaccinated.  There are plenty of other extenuating  reasons people have trouble exercising, eating better, and quitting alcohol.  But the only reason I can come up with people not vaccinating (beyond some VERY rare health issues) is because of confirmation bias through bad media.  There is definitely not any real scientific data backing up their decisions.  If there is, post it.

    You should re-read that anecdote.
