Something happened. This Omicron variant was not supposed to be revealed this quickly and it has created complete chaos.
I knew something was up when in Western New York they announced a new mask mandate with less than a days notice. It was a knee jerk reaction and I didn't understand why.
Then a few day's later the omicron variant was introduced on Thanksgiving weekend when most journalist and executives have taken vacation and are spending time with their families. This created chaos in the narrative of how dangerous the omicron variant actually was and every outlet had a different story until monday when the articles came pumping out about how deadly it could be.
Then the doctor who disclosed this variant came out and stated how they couldn't believe the ordeal being made over this variant because the symptoms are so mild people don't even consider covid, much like how a year ago most people found out they had covid by taking the antibody test.
Somebody accelerated the timeline, and they did it on Thanksgiving day weekend when everyone in the media was on vacation and that allowed the actual truth to peak out for just a moment.
That moment is important. South Africa defied somebody in the new world order and they pulled a punch that is actually quite impressive. South Africa took bold step and disrupted our perception of the omicron variant from the absolute start.
My honest belief is this variant wasn't supposed to be announced for another 6 months. Somebody is accelerating the timeline, and we need all hands on deck to ensure that timeline continues to be accelerated.
God speed, Patriots.
I live in western NY where that mask mandate is in place. People are furious and totally confused because the case totals just don't exist. It is revealing just how bullshit things are, but even then I hear people saying "they could have put us in lockdowns. If we just comply for a couple weeks then it will be fine. It's not worth the hassle." It's painful how far the public will have to be pushed.
I live in Ohio. In the town I reside in, nobody wears a mask. I think the Walmart employees have one down under their chins, because they are complying with company policy.
Had to drive into another nearby Ohio "big city" to visit Best Buy on Sunday, and literally everyone in that store, except me, had on a mask. I felt like I'd stepped into the Twilight Zone. It was a crowded store, busy with holiday shoppers, so quite a few people. I was dismayed, to say the least. So many scared and compliant little sheep. It makes you think, "fuck, we're doomed as a species."
I don't even know if Ohio has a mask mandate. I'm guessing they don't since my hometown goes on about its day like Covid was just another stupid Mother Goose bedtime story. I don't listen to news or twatter or anything like that. I get 99 percent of my news here from GAW and I try to watch the AWK videos because they're always great. Anyway, masks are sooooo not a part of my world but genpop seems to love them and is having a hard time letting them go.
Ohio doesn't, Columbus does
