So when are people going to take this seriously. When half the population of all living things die while the other half mutates into some weird lifeform? Good thing I'm a hoarder. Decades worth of masks, disinfectant wipes, toilet paper, Ivermectin, etc.
Anyone have instructions on how to make a home made hospital grade ventilator?

Part of that is instilled by the panic. There are definitely going to be people getting tested that 2 or 3 weeks ago wouldn't have bothered.
There is the thing to keep in mind that a huge spike in case counts won't necessarily paint the whole picture. I'm sure plenty of people with minor to no symptoms were walking around like nothing was wrong and weren't contributing to the daily case count, whereas now there will be a massive spike due to people in similar situations being more vigilant.
That's why the hospitalizations and deaths remain the number to keep an eye on when really focusing on how bad (or not bad) of a situation we are in.

Sounds about right, I was out for Christmas festivities, and a lot of people weren't wearing masks cuz they are lining up outside and less than 6 feet apart.
If you watched the news at all the past few days you'd see why testing centre are all fucked up... people who just want to check if they're clean before visiting family for Christmas are going to grab a test even though they're not sick at all. Stupid.
I’m starting to see the friends/fam/colleagues who were following covid vaccine schedules/lockdowns/restrictions to a T starting to waver and beginning to grow tiresome with the latest rounds of restrictions. Double vaxxed (with booster if eligible), will wear masks, but they are done with tiny social household bubbles. Is everyone else starting to see the same?
Studies coming out that double vaccinated breakthrough cases = super immunity. The double vaccinated prevents serious symptoms (which is good and serves a purpose), the breakthrough positive infection gives the body the antibodies that it needs for further variants.
Omicron spreader party anyone?
I said earlier, I'll be as careful as I've been all along but pretty resolved to probably catch it this wave. Hard to avoid with the extremely high contagious rate. And if not me, probably someone in my household ... which effectively means, me.

I’m sure a lot of people couldn’t/didn’t for certain members of their family they expected to see at Christmas. My grandparents would have been here for Christmas if it wasn’t so risky right now plus my grandfathers treatment was still pushed to now from a couple months ago, even though zedbra heard from some random person in Squamish that hasn’t been happening. For a lot of peoples work situations Christmas might be the only time that time off lines up to get their whole immediate family together.

We should just celebrate Christmas in July. In addition to avoiding the peak of respiratory disease season think of how many lives will be saved from accidents due to inclement weather and early darkness. Plus a week off in July is worth 4 in December any year. Who's dumb idea was it to celebrate Christmas in one of the darkest days of the year.

I basically followed covid restrictions to a T and used my own common sense on the matter. But i remember in the beginning of covid there was a study or article that said the more contagious a virus is, the less deadly it becomes. Even though its super early, isnt that what Omicron is? Im still cautious about who i hangout with but basically i only care if ur fully vaxxed or not.
