And with almost 40% still unvaccinated, it is obvious now that we aren't gonna beat this with vaccines alone. In the spring last year, I thought we could hit 65%-70% fully vaxed by late fall / early winter and I was wrong. Vastly underestimating how many morons live in this country. And that was before Delta blew the concept of attainable herd immunity to tiny bits. Yeah, if we just vaccinated a little harder we could be like Denmark or any other number of European countries that are now shattering daily case records with around 80% vaxxed. It's so weird that people still act like these vaccines are some kind of miracle answer. Fortunately, as many experts around the country attest, Omicron has proven so incredibly mild that it's our lifeline to herd immunity. We simply don't need perpetual doses of mRNA injections, and that's a great thing.

This offer was on the table in October and they declined it. I am also curious on the distribution of these. Do they send them to houses or expect us to wait on line? We all know people will try to get hundreds and re sell them It looks like Federal government will set up a website to order tests. Then I presume they will be mailed to you. Last month the local health dept. was handing out tests at libraries and such: 2 per person. They'd have a few hundred, then run out in minutes. I grabbed 2 and I am hoarding them like my precious. 500 million tests is a good start, about 2 tests per person... However, there are people taking tests weekly, or more often. They're going to need more if this wave keeps up.

At this point, I feel the best we can do is prevent the hospitals from being overwhelmed and people from dying. In all likelihood almost everyone is going to get some form of covid at some point. I don't think we will see an end to it in our lifetimes.

Hmm, pint-sized dude who said covid wouldn't be endemic and the vaccine wouldn't become seasonal like the flu shot vs. head of Denmark's SSI. Nope, I'm still stumped about who to believe!

We have Larry, Moe and Curly running the country right now.
January 5, 20224 yr the rapid tests aren't even accurate when it comes to omnicron so that's a gigantic waste of time, resources, & money.

It has always been the top criteria.

Some people have had COVID two or three or more times already. Not only will we have to learn to live with it, we will likely be infected by several variants of it throughout our lifetimes. It will be cold/flu/COVID season for the rest of our lives. I agree, we need to support our hospitals to prevent them from being overrun.

Never said vaccine wouldn't be seasonal. Still waiting for you to quote the posts justifying an apology to Joe.

Some dude with a little-man complex on the Eagles Message Board who has been laughably wrong about virtually everything since the pandemic started or Denmark's chief epidemiologist at the State Serum Institute. This one is tough. Denmarks population is the same as Wisconsin though. It’s gonna take longer than 2 months for omicron to burn through here. And we’re you listening to Denmarks health experts when they said to get vaccinated and then get boosted because those actions reduce the severity of your illness if you do get it? We’re you listening then? Or just when it’s convenient for you?

Should we start swabbing throats for omicron? Some are saying this variant is more prevalent in the throat. So the rapid test may not pick it up from a nasal swab, but from a throat swab instead.

Maybe because you finally figured out you were wrong because it was a discussion about deaths, not hospitalizations. It's cool if you don't want to own up to it now, like most of your fails in this thread. Par for the little dude course.

In another 2 years when it’s finally a non factor here you can do your "I told you so” dance but we have a long way to go buddy. It’s far from over. Now listen to Denmark and go get vaxxed and boosted. Or stop sucking your redneck poker D and let the omicron infect you.
