So exhausting.
It's not like we are sheltering in place everyone.
Don't start fights over toilet paper.
It's a sore throat and fatigue.

And, it's probably in the DC area, because of the international airport and international travel.

Duh, it's probably been here for a while now. And spread during Thanksgiving.

My bet was either CA or NY would get it first.

I guessed any state with a big international hub airport.

The travel ban is to buy time. It's doing that. And when everyone has a better handle on this, it'll be lifted.


Sounds like the 2 week bend the curve narrative.

All of that is good news.


+1, OP. I think there is media hype over Omicron for ratings. I am not discounting it, but I give it a side eye.


Of course there is! I’m really shocked at how so many well-meaning people are naive about ratings & clicks.


I mean this freakout has exceeded even delta. Media is doing a disservice to people


I agree. With Delta, we knew what it was and everything was factual and Scientific. The way they’ve been handling omnicron has been next level frenzy.


Well it does have something to do with the extraordinary amount of mutations. You all make it sound like this is all completely manufactured by the media and nothing else.

I get a travel ban in 2020 - but didn't we learn then that it didn't work?


Government exists to do something. Therefore, it does something.
