Would "the virus from China" be more acceptable?
Is "genocide olympics" racist?
"Master bedroom"?
What makes something racist--can anyone provide a clear-cut, specific definition? I've heard it argued that it has to do with power--the theory is
that the powerful are racist, regardless of their actual intent. Does this underly the "privilege" argument? If you have any sort of "privilege" (by
birth, birth country, color, wealth, attractiveness, intelligence, etc.) are you then de facto/per se racist regardless of any other attribute?
If we do not get over the "everything is racist, the sky is falling" thing, is there any hope we can ever be civil to one-another again?
A life of fears leads to a death bed of regrets.
Find someone who will take care of you, and take care of them.

Sorry for any confusion, I was attempting to say the phase isn't evil (racist). I edited the post to make it more clear.

I tended to disagree with that thinking it was too early, but then I looked at our local new cases and the 7 day average of new cases and found you
may be far closer than I had previously thought. Both are presently showing a decline following the huge surge we had recently.
The problem remains tho that we presently have far fewer staffed hospital beds per capita than needed. It will be up to future governments to restore
that ratio to the number it needs to be and that's going to be a very tough job given the massive debts we have grown. In retrospect tho, it would
have been far easier and cheaper than the alternatives proved to be.

I only said it was a racist comment...you are the one attaching judgement. Why would one not call the virus by its official name? And then keep
repeating it....mighty fine people....

Dk knows that the term “China virus” is offensive, and considered racist.
He uses the term with the intention of causing a reaction, he got the reaction.
He may have an evil bone (or 2) in his body.
Woke!

I have been looking to the end of March 2022 for the end since it started...just following previous pandemic stats. Fingers crossed! Omicron just
may put us into the endemic phase of Covid 19 and then we're done. Most humans will have been infected or vaxed and have some type of immunity.

Pfizer certainly disagrees. Their latest estimates as of Dec are we will be vaccinating with boosters well into 2024 and beyond despite the rapidly
declining CFR's we are continuing to see. The only remaining question is which boosters will we be allowed to choose? Most are still backing either
Pfizer or Moderna as the ones they will be mandating.
As the mandates target more and more industries those who refuse to continue with boosters will become workers in non contact industries like garbage
collectors, gardeners, telemarketers, etc.

A nivel local el Comité de Seguridad en Salud determinó ubicar a los cinco Municipios en color amarillo nivel 2 con riesgo moderado.
Si se atiende el semáforo epidemiológico Nacional por Covid 19 deberán tomarse otras medidas.

Cases, cases, cases, oooh no!!
Fast forward 1 to 2 months and the world will be in a much better place.
Of course you don't want that, for some sick reason.

It's as if Pfizer stands to gain if the pandemic (and in particular the need for further rounds of vaccination) persists. Imagine that!

It's almost as if some agency told them that they don't care how much it costs, they will buy all that you can make!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

What is everyone doing to prepare for their 3rd pandemic winter?
How will you prepare for the covid surge?

Will the 118th congress finally find evidence that fauci created the virus?
The new year is almost here. Make a new year resolution to get healthy, fight the Rona!

Up here the latest is a very virile winter flu (not Covid) hitting young kids very hard. 6 times as meany deaths already this year as in an entire
season and parents having lots of difficulties getting the seasonal vaccine for it. Hospitals and doctors once again overloaded due to continuing and
still growing staffing shortages.
Added to this, there has been no availability of infant Tylenol or Advil to deal with symptoms on pharmacy shelves for weeks now. This round
accelerates to pneumonia, Strept A and "Scarlet Fever" very quickly and has been devastating amongst our youngest grandchildren.
Meanwhile the Canadian gov't is throwing millions of expired covid vaccines in the garbage as they over ordered for the demand. Seems they can't even
give away the soon to be expired vaccines as global demand has really fallen off.

Despite that I am told mask requirements in Lap Paz and Cabo are now far more relaxed requiring them only in very close quarters and health
facilities. They are coming off a very low level of cases. I would guess still required on airplanes flying in Mexico as I have heard nothing
contradicting that rule. Anyone there with newer info?

In usa case rates and hospitalizations rates have been increasing since end of summer, but death rates have been flat or declining.
Last year the case rate peaked in February. I would expect the same this year, everybody getting sick after being cooped up indoors for Jan and Feb
freeze.
Woke!
