"all in this together" was proven to be a huge lie, that's what happened. People became jaded and selfish.
It's heartbreaking to see: some people cannot even wear a piece of cloth over their mouth for a few hours to save lives and they are proud of it.We reached the bottom of the humanity barrel
@@tinaandro1178 keep spouting literal propaganda lol. It works so well
@Macey Schitzs Did you come by that statistic by yourself? Maybe you are telling yourself that to feel better because of your selfishness but I will actually listen to the doctors in a healthcare matter and not sleazy politician X or doctor Oz
@Macey Schitzs The sheep are the ones who ignore the deaths of a million fellow Americans and were led away from common sense like getting a vaccine and wear a mask in a pandemic. So many of your side were led to a slaughter but you're too cool to care because your tribe would reject you if you did.
@@brenden4915 Is something I said wrong? Are you the type to listen to teleshop when it's a healthcare matter? I also don't think you are using the word "literal" correctly
In trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator, no one wins.
Fear is the lowest common denominator.
It's better than what we have now where only the billionaires matter.
Then what's the deal with No Child Left Behind🤡
@@donjindra u are beyond ignorant. fear is normal when you are risking your life. dont say its not serious after millions are dead....................kids getting legs amputated.................oh but it doesnt hurt kids.............lies
@@benjamite15 yes, our Billionaire governor in Illinois told the people they must stay home, but his family traveled to Wisconsin and Florida.
Imagine that!
Taiwan has imposed strict regulations on the pandemic since the beginning. Everyone wears masks still. Testing and quarantine is required.
Taiwan = 900 deaths from the virus
Florida = 73,000 deaths from the virus
Same population and climate. Very different government
I think Florida is 90K+ covid deaths. Thank Deathsantis.
Great comparison, thanks
Different body mass index and diet too
Florida is full of massively fat people. Taiwan isn’t.
Apples to rocks comparison, really. Vastly different diets. Vastly different population health. Different ages ranges (Florida has an older population)
And let's not forget: Taiwan is an island. Geography helped keep infections from importing to Taiwan a lot better than a major destination like Florida.
Thank you for being one of the few to ask this important question! Why are people pretending Covid is gone?
Because we have to live with it just like we live with other risks. If you want to lock yourself indoors go ahead. We did it for two years, every gathering was illegal, being told we can only meet with people from two households even at Christmas. Having to gether masked and never see smiles and experience normal human communication. I did it and would prefer to be dead than continue like that.
It will never be gone, just like the other 4 endemic coronaviruses that cause common colds. They did a lot more damage when they hit the scene too. And now the average age of the dying is higher than it was in 2020, when there were no vaccines. The vaccines are indeed effective at preventing death, so many of those elderly deaths are not related to Covid, but rules in place force them to be categorized as such. Mandates and enforced measures are trade-offs, not consequence free.
The biggest scary thing to happen here is they’re saying that it’s under control basically and that’s why the pandemics over I mean they’re not overtly saying that and that’s a huge concern. Because there’s already evidence that these vaccines are not going to hold up much longer especially at these variance changing so fast too
@@AnyoneCanSee dead even if it would be fixed with a good magic bullet preventative a few years later? Wow. No hope at all. Not real resilient are you.
@@Portia620 exactly. these people are so pathetic and selfish.
Medical professionals should be the only people giving advice about medical issues that affect the public NOT BUSINESS MEN OR POLITICIANS. COVID-19 is a Medical issue.
Exactly 💯 yes sir...amen ridiculous 🙄 how many doctors and nurses who busted there a## to save lives have been, Undermined! These Know it all leaders BS their own people.
You are absolutely right! So tell me. Who would you consider a medical professional?
@@Stompedinthenuts What most people SHOULD consider a medical professional. People who went through university for 6+ years, earing a doctorate degree and racking up exorbitant educational dept from following their heart and the intent of helping others by learning the science behind the human body, how medical intervention affects the human body and treating people with care. Achieving that from the incredible pool of knowledge from scientists and intellectuals past.
Who do you consider a medical professional? You seem to be alluding that the above people who have worked the larger part of a decade to learn about something they're passionate about, from a collection of medical literature to be better equipped to help people now and in the future, to be less credible than people who are simply reading into comments on a message board and thinking they have infallible and profound discoveries of the universe in their hands and share them like they are fact without there ever being any proof of such.
I myself am more inclined to believe the centuries of medical information they have learned from to hone medical intervention to what it is today, than random people on the internet who've never once taken a course and earned a medical degree.
@@dogboy3045 I can give a compelling list of those professionals by your own standards that have been censored and dragged through the mud for going against the official narrative. Shall i list them?
@@Stompedinthenuts please do
For reference, business men and politicians are not giving medical advise, they are giving the information that a licensed physician gave them to share because most doctors dont have their own tv show. We all seen how that went down with Dr.Oz and Phil
I’m the only one wearing a mask at my job, my co workers think am insane and jokingly makes fun of me wearing a mask consistently.. I am fully vaccinated but I was one of those people that had Covid 19 fist strand I felt I was going to die and now after recovery I still don’t feel the same.. so yea I don’t believe Covid 19 is gone away I’ll continue to wear my mask and take all precautions possible… all men for themselves.
So, you've had the virus, which would give you antibodies. You've also been vaccinated. And you're still wearing a mask? That's like being bulletproof but still wearing a bulletproof vest.
Didn’t you get the ultimate vaccine by contracting Covid it in the first place?
@@simoncaron6424 IDK, my sister in law got covid prior to vaccines. She thought she would die, so sick. Her husband DID die. She then got vaccinated 4 shots. She has covid again and is extremely sick. So I'm not sure about this idea that if you get covid you've got mega antibodies. She hasn't felt normal since the first covid situation 🤔
@@simoncaron6424 news flash. The virus mutates. That's why you need a new flu shot each year
@@simoncaron6424 No, the immunity from COVID-19 itself doesn't last as long as the immunity from the vaccine, and doesn't protect as well from new strains. Surprisingly, the COVID-19 vaccines that are made with just the spike protein confer immunity on more strains of the virus than infection with the entire virus.
This is what Bernie has been warning us about for the last half a dozen decades...
No it isn't
Actually yes it is. That is why Bernie is for healthcare for all! Why not read up on his policies at his site rather than just believing random gossip?
Give the Non mask wearers their own island somewhere. Maybe the North pole would be a good place.🤨
So sad! Can we start all over and I play Adam and reject Eve's evil offer?
Nah girl! New Wives, please.
And you, get out of the universe.

@@IMeMineWho 🧡🧡🤗✌❤ yes! Thank you!
@@theonlyconformist It? Did you even read the comment...
The price to pay for maintaining our own health is extremely high. Like not smoking to try to avoid lung cancer, COPD, emphysema….. like paying attention while behind the wheel to avoid running over people, or into trees or other vehicles. Like eating well, like trying to maintain as little stress in our lives as we can…….like taking responsibility for our own behavior and health maintenance. The price is extremely high, and you get what you pay for.
And that price only becomes dearer when those with whom one comes in contact exhibit a reckless disregard for healthful practices for their choices impinge upon the wellbeing of those with whom they come interact..
Actually not smoking or not drinking alcohol is not costing a high price, it's mostly the contrary.
@@qrsx66 The cost is high if one has indulged in such habits for several years and then comes to the realization that such habits are injurious to one's health. "Kicking the habit" can prove costly, particularly if one requires the help of medical professionals.
@@kesart8378 protect your self and wear a mask
@@kesart8378 Get over yourself.
Solidarity in the beginning? Really? I don't remember that part. We are where we are now because of how split we were, because so many refused to help us get over this.
for a few weeks at least. remember when it would be over by Easter? happy Easter : )
Get over yourself
Ok... trans-human genetic experiment.
The former President first didn't believe covid existed, then said it would be gone by Easter and then refused to wear a mask. He was by no means a good example for the country.
Thank you... Well said!
It is now an individual choice to get covid with risks of death or becoming a long-hauler disabled for possibly life... due to Republican-Trumpees tantruming and threatening US!
I continue to wear covid face masks 😷 and vacinnate to do my best in helping Protect Our Children, Elderly, Vulnerable immunio-compromized one's, long-hauler disabilities one's (1 in 5), Animals, Self, and Everyone!!!
It is Individualist "Me Me ME!" Versus Caring Consciousness Collectivist Thinking!!!
My wife and I still wear masks and socially distance until the pandemic is over which may not happen for a very long time. We ignoring the new virus variants possibly to our doom!
That's your choice, and that's how it should be.
What will make you consider it's over ? The virus dispppearing or stopping its mutations is not happening.
Tell me you're in a cult without telling me you're in a cult.
So youre just gonna wear it forever then?
"Panem today, Panem tomorrow, Panem forever!" Fauci declared we've been in the endemic phase for some time now, and the pandemic phase is over. Is that good enough of an authority or not? Chances are you've already had the virus, BTW. Wherever you want to wear a mask or if you want to spray down your groceries, you do you boo, just make sure not to expect it from others.
We have free healthcare here in Toronto and our hospitalizations and death rates from covid are going back up. Our political leaders have basically given up on heralding public health measures. I think they know the health measures although necessary, are largely unpopular so they cave to the economy and public pressure. The world is currently in a sad state.
I live in Toronto too and I’ve always said Dougie-Dolittle wants to see no evil and hear no evil. 🙈🙉 He wants to bow and cave to the minority maladaptives who sees no evil and hears no evil and doesn’t like wearing masks. He wants his votes. But most intelligent people are still wearing their masks and double masking too. I work with the public so I’m double masking. But it really is disturbing to see so many really maladaptive people want to pretend Covid and it’s variants are over. Tell that to the healthy children who can’t get vaccinated yet who are landing on nebulizer treatments because they can’t breathe with the Omicron variant. Or land in the hospital ~ my lovely local grocery store clerk’s healthy grandson - landed blue in the hospital from Omicron Covid Croup. And the doctors were telling his Mom that they’re getting a surge of children with Covid Croup from Omicron that they never saw before with earlier variants. And I got a “mild” OM1 infection in Feb and still have a hoarse voice from it. My doctor said it inflamed my larynx. And I’ll need to see an ear, nose and throat specialist next month if it doesn’t resolve by then. Covid is nothing to mess with and it doesn’t go away wth denial or magical thinking. Lol! In fact all you do is create more variants. And now for the first time since Covid landed on the scene the flu virus is spreading too which is not the norm for spring. Can you imagine with so many unmasked the twain meeting and making a Flu-Covid variant? 🫣 We really can’t afford to be in denial. Maybe we should call him Dougie-DoLittle-Denial. Lol!
Lucky u! I tried to flee trump! Alas I need back surgery & ur tax dollars shouldnt pay for me. Yet Canadians r so nice I imagined y'all wearing masks bc u dont want to spread covid to others. TALIBAN, for instance, will die from covid! Trump spread covid thruout USA by having maskless rallies!
Where have these health measures actually worked?
@@capeorbobserver3903 we Canadians have our issues but in the thick of the pandemic, our government made sure people adhered to public health mandates and if you compare Canada's death rate from Covid to anywhere else in the western world, we fared much much better.
The health measures were never sustainable, nor were they ever sufficient. The hard truth is that we are unable to conquer the disease; we can only do so much. We have vaccines now; we didn't before. This helps. But we also have economies that must continue to run well enough to enable any measures at all to be taken. And we must risk death in order to survive.
The ongoing situation is dynamic, ever-changing. And it is most certainly time to stop cringing and accept the fact that the world never was a safe place. It is complete hubris to expect that we can control it all, and complete cowardice not to accept some risk. I don't want to die any more than the next person, but I also don't want to die quivering in fear. Let's live; let's live sanely; let's live or die with courage. We're at war with this disease. In war, there is more than one way to become a casualty.
We have capitulated before the virus - as was to be expected. The "challenge" America is facing today is surviving without mitigation.
If you are immune compromised you are screwed. So sad. People are so selfish... There is not a chance of beating climate change in thus environment. Glad have no grandkids to fry or freeze.
@@mvann5 you actually think you can stop climate change 🤣 you do realize the earth has frozen and thawed multiple times right?
@@FBCxUNKNOWN I do realise we have had at least two mass extinction events caused by global warming due to green house gasses (end Permian & Triassic). Mind they took millions of years to unfold, we are achieving this at record speed.
@@FBCxUNKNOWN the issue is the pace of freezing and thawing. Freezing and thawing over millions of years is one thing, but doing it over decades is truly deadly.
Is like a car accident. Going from 65mph to zero is not deadly. We do it all the time when we press the brakes. Going from 65 to 0 in an instant as we hit a concrete wall. Well that's a game stopper.
@@FBCxUNKNOWN you’re right but and every time it has happened in such a short time span, life suffered drastically.
Thanks for at least acknowledging the existence of long covid.

It all centers around this great country and it’s hard working people with their strong traditions and democratic values centered on the rights of the individual protected from the rights of the state since 1776, nothing even comes close.
It's survival of the fittest (and the richest). We had an opportunity to address the disperity in our two tiered health system and instead the gap is widening. A very sad preview for how we will handle the worst of climate change.
very soon only 99% of us will remain 😷
The super-rich keep buying oceanfront properties. They are either in throwing money in the water or they know something we don't
So for you...CV 19 is somehow related to "climate change"... the idiocy never ends with mind controlled people like you. Feel for ya'
And thanks to COVID-19, it's also survival of the cleanest.

it's about empathy and consideration for others more than statistics or anything else. there are people who are vulnerable and need extra care. I know many don't care. some people can have all the vaccines and still be very vulnerable. I do care about these people, I'm sorry for the lack of empathy in this world. very sad.
Thank you
Empathy by shoving these EUA inoculations to the vulnerable? Why not give them real health care? Why was there no national open panel of all those medical professionals who raised a red flag on the inoculation campaign? Why did we not have a national mass campaign funded by one of the stimulus bills to strengthen and educate people on eating right and immunity revitalization? Have available "Iver" and "Hydro" and other safer and proven medications that has helped thousands across this country? Have prophylaxis kits ready.
@@checksandbalences The vaccine has always been voluntary, you can choose to not get it. A lie right out of the gates harms the rest of your argument.
Thank you
@@checksandbalences Exactly if this was about health, health care would be free for all during this pandemic but instead, they are firing doctors and nurses. People are so dumb its ridiculous
I keep wondering that myself. I am thoroughly sick of it all, done with it. That DOESN'T MATTER, if it isn't done with us. I don't think it is done with us.
Exactly, my friend of 30 years died on January 22, her hands turned purple the night before, she had it for a month, it was the delta version-yeah that's still a thing. I am so sick of people acting like this is over, willing it doesn't make it so. I hate the masks just like everyone else, I work in a medical office so I have to wear it 8 hours a day and listen to people complain about their 45 min of wearing it. Stupid and so self absorbed. I spoke with another friend of mine who I haven't seen for about a year he had covid, he has long covid, he's looking for anything that will get him back to how he was, he is perpetually fatigued and has no energy. A really good neighbor of mine had covid at end of January, shes young. She tested negative after three weeks. Shes a long hauler as well. I can still hear her caught on a daily basis, deep caughs. Her lungs are at copd levels and she was fairly healthy when she contracted covid. Non-smoker. So I agree with the statement ,"I am thoroughly sick of it all, done with it. That DOESN'T MATTER, if it isn't done with us"
@@talco881 HUGS!! Just hugs.
@@talco881 I’m in N. Ireland and while restrictions have been raised here, my local surgery (doctor’s office) is still doing phone calls and only seeing patients if they decide it’s necessary. The office is open for labs and the reception desk is only open for one hour a day. And you’re not to enter the building until the exact time of appointment (labs are done by appt). I’m glad they’re taking care of the staff and patients in this way.
As a woman over 70 and a retired RN, I feel betrayed. I wear a mask in public and most people don't. At least they don't give me dirty looks like they used to do.
Betrayed? BETRAYED? Why? because the government stopped forcing masks upon people who didn’t want to wear them? Go move to Shanghai if you want to be safe from covid.
@@Stompedinthenuts The government is supposed to protect people! I intend to stay right here in my USA! Masks never harmed anyone, contrary to what some people are told. As a nurse, I had to wear masks for hours to care for contagious patients or people in isolation as nurses have always done. Masks never harmed ANYONE! If you see someone wearing a mask, mind your own business.
Betrayed by who lol
Thank you for your service!
They sold us out for the almighty dollar and that covid take over and it's going to be survival of the fittest.
I’m still masked and I’m still getting nasty looks. I just give them a dirty look right back. I’m better at it than they are
In this country dollars are valued more then the lives of the elderly and medically vulnerable.....other countries are different and follow another path
What some of these macho guys dont realize is that people's health can change even if you look good, eat clean and workout. And those are the same guys who then are on the net then saying they regret their recklessness. We are quite a selfinvolved nation, always thinking that nothing bad can happen to us..until it does.
Many western countries are doing the same.
i thought it was _world_ wide pandemic though? money exists pretty much everywhere. greed doesn't magically disappear after crossing an arbitrary national border.
I am so happy to hear this broadcast because these are the things that I was concerned about and here they are mentioning it. The United States has totally given up
You lost
Nah it just got stupid
Just about every country has... They're more interested in growing the economy than saving the lives of their citizens.. I thought that more lives saved, the economy will grow back faster when the pandemic is over.. People will be happy to spend what they have. I don't think these politicians has lost anyone close to them to the virus..
Times up for Covid, I think the healthy people have sacrificed for long enough. Time to burn the masks forever.
@@realantagonist5324 I personally know a couple of people who were previously healthy (we are talking months ago and see their docs once a year) that are now immunocompromised.
Individual risk...where’s that attitude regarding abortion??!!! 98% of our leaders, & I use the term loosely, need to retire for they don’t have a clue!!!
Thanks for pointing out the hypocrisy. The constitutional right to access abortion is a much more serious issue since it is duplicating the Civil Rights claim of states rights on a human rights issue. The difference between today and the Civil War however is that we have established an amendment banning involuntary servitude - it's settled. We also have a Supreme Court that is not making judgments that defend this constitutional amendment. So, unlike Covid, the issue of abortion is not only a personal issue that doesn't spread, the pressure to ban it will be the undoing of national integrity, the constitution, and an entire branch of federal government. The stakes are higher than the Civil War now because states are pushing against what has already been established in the constitution and the Supreme Court is not defending it. Very high stakes on top of hypocracy.

We maybe tired of the virus
But the virus is not tired of us
Agree. It truly scared me when, despite receiving the vaccine, people were still being infected. That's not what you'd expect from any of our other vaccinatable diseases except for chicken pox/shingles. It's still mutating.
Two years of mask mandates, and the virus still won. It was completely ineffective, and it's asinine to continue it.
Actually it is "tired" of us. It's mutated to a very weak version. It's no longer more dangerous than common viruses we've had for centuries.
@@donjindra Not true. I caught the latest mutation and was sick for 3 weeks. I considered going to the ER for treatment. You can't predict the response you'll have from the virus. It's different for everyone depending on their immunity.
@@jeanbloom7513 One of my my brothers had Omicron for weeks too. So I know it still affects some worse than others. He had all vaccinations and boosters. As far as I know I never got Omicron. I got only the one J&J shot, no booster. I haven't shielded myself. I'm 68. But I stand by what I said. By weak, I don't mean insignificant. Some people suffer for weeks with the flu too. A bad experience does not mean life-threatening.
I'm in a nursing home Canada and I just got a positive test a week ago. We're quadruple vaxxed but I still managed to test positive as have 19 out of the 25 residents in my unit. Luckily we're asymptomatic or have mild cases, so vaccines do work. Like anything man-made, they're not perfect but it's the new normal. *_WE MUST REMAIN VIGILANT!_*
I’m unvaccinated and have mild cases of Covid-19 and Omicron. A healthy immune system also works!
@@evolutionistheflyingspaghe2702 Dude, 80% of the population will be fine if they catch covid, vaccine or no vaccine.. It is the 20% that has problems. It has always been like this. Covid was a challenge to society, how much would you inconvenience yourself to save a minority of the population... especially when you do not know if you are part of that minority.
@@nickl5658 Dude, with only .02% at risk, the real question is - “Is that really worth fundamentally damaging our constitutional rights?”
Still caught covid huh? only prevented YOUR symptoms huh? Don’t force it on me and we have no problems
Testing positive is not the same as being infected. PCR tests are not diagnostic.
"The economy has suffered enough!" Thts why the song has changed to individual risk...meaning Americans will pay the bills from Covid on their own... American health be dammed
Selena Simmons no, that is not it, the government has done everything they could to help people and yet we have whiners out there who act worse than children throwing a temper tantrum over masks and vaccines.

Remember, republicans actively try to eliminate healthcare and social safety nets! VOTE!!!

Unfortunately, you risk more than just American's health. You leave and take it with you and spread it in other countries, frustrating their risk reduction efforts.

Fine by me I’d rather know who I’m dealing with …
Geesh, you are so right! I have to hear pro-life religious folks go on and on about how Godly they are, but they didn’t care about spreading a virus that killed a bunch of them. Those types make me sick.
I remember hearing Dr. Wen every night. And many others. No wonder we can't get Covid under control. Even the Doctors are throwing their hands up.
I wear a mask to the Doctors and the supermarket because I got so used to it, it doesn't bother me. I am vaxxed twice, I will ask my Doctor when I need a third.
I was wearing a mask the other day when I was outside and someone made a rude remark. I am just getting over a terrible cold and don't wish it on anyone.
Good for YOU
I have cancer and I just tell them. I doubt they are sorry for being a**holes about my mask. I like people less than I ever thought I would. This has brought out people's truest colors.
What is the least you would do to save a strangers life? the answer to this question tells a lot about a person morals, values, and integrity.
Better safe than sorry! My Grandparents used to tell us..
We can't get Covid under control because it is uncontrollable. That fact doesn't sit well with authoritarian types.
I loss all confidence in December, when the CDC under pressure from Airline Execs to shorten quarantines to 5 days.
I had covid as a fully vaccine crew member, when I felt bad December 2021 I went to have a Covid test . Sp eff nt 7hrs in my car to learn 5 DAYS LATER I HAD COVID. Already back to work. Deplorable! I could go on more but now is th h es time to put my job on the lune.
Good for you!
That's because you believed the LIE
I tested PCR positive on Day 4 last Feb AND had a most lovely powerful Rapid Antigen Test where my test line showed up as the fluid touched it and my line was darker than the control line on Day 6. Are we surprised?! Lolol! Intelligent people are not. Lol! Can you imagine if I went out free of my isolation on Day 6? I can’t even think about how many people did do this AND are still doing this. 🤦♀️ And I believe that’s how I got Omicron in the first place was at work from an infected colleague who was asymptomatic (her main symptoms “resolved” in 3 days) and just simply went back to work on Day 4 without doing any Rapid tests to confirm she’s clear of the virus. I got sick 5 days later (incubation is about 5 days). I learned after the fact when I came back to work that she had done that. Moreover I had made a very bad mistake and shared a perfume card with her the day she had come back to work. She ran up to me with the card at the start of my shift and I got totally thrown off and I sniffed! Complete inoculation right then and there! lol! Crap happens! 🤣😜😭 We work with perfumes AND I for safety’s sake NEVER share perfume cards and teach others the same (she works in varied locations so I wouldn’t have known she had just come back from being sick). So I know exactly who I got it from. Thanks CDC for bowing to greed capitalist pressure. Thanks. Public health be darned.
The concept of shared sacrifice in the US went out with the end of WWII, and even then, FDR had to fight for the nation to enter the fight to stop fascism.

technically it will end. Once the virus kills everyone it can, it will end. Remember 80% of the population are perfectly fine after catching the virus. The issue of covid is caused by a minority 20%.

Same, but you have to remember that when we wear a mask- we are protecting others from us; not the other way around.

Great work. The "individual choice" approach to a pandemic is insane.
Why do you see that masks should be an individual choice an insane approach? Do you want mask mandates to be around forever? You can still wear your mask, no one is stopping you.
What I don't understand is how so many that know better didn't at least show the example of what an individual choice would be, if they are in danger- like you say, all these people are fully vaccinated and boosted, most, if not all, twice boosted, and they have immediate access to the best care in the world- we don't have any of that out here in the real world, unless you are wealthy enough to claim that privilege for themselves..
China has more people in LOCKDOWN than the total population of the United States- these lockdowns are in very industrial areas, and the ports that move raw materials and components, and then finished products going out- they have a backlog of orders to fill, whenever they decide to lift the lockdowns- and when they finally get to where they are going, there will be logjams in trying to unload ships and transport them to where they are going- and now cases are rising, and the very essential people that move these goods are going to be facing at least 2 new sub variants- in an environment of many transport people that are either retiring or simply can't do it- long covid takes its' toll on so many more than anyone is willing to admit, let alone discuss and take into account- focusing on the deaths is important, but focusing on the still living is crucial, to the supply chains, to the food supply, to the economy, to everything- look at what Abbott's political stunt, slowing to an absolute crawl the trade coming over the border in just Texas- or what the freedumb convoy did by blocking major trade route bridges between the US and Canada- and they only lasted a few days at most-
Right on.-covid is not over yet.
What is your source for most people have been on their fourth booster? Statistics show only 33 percent of the population has even gotten their third? And people whose belief is that the economy dont realize if everyone would comply with masking and vaxing for 3 or four weeks, we would be endemin by now. Instead we are up 50 percent from 2 wks ago.

You guys paint a picture of the wealthy being ready and able to move on, while underclasses are vulnerable and not ready.
Yet the street-level view is the opposite... traveling between wealthy and lower-income counties of Maryland, I observe firsthand that virtually _nobody wears masks in the lower income counties_ even as most people ~60% still wear masks in wealthier counties, for example in Montgomery County. It's a remarkable difference that's been in place all of 2022 so far.
So the reality is the wealthy are the least desiring to drop minimal Covid mitigation measures whereas lower-income folks are 100% done with Covid and want nothing to do with even the most simple mitigation measures. This is the reality those of us not ready to let Covid rip need to be addressing, not just blindly iterating the classic class-struggle narrative. That's doing politics, not public-health science.
It's because working people have more common sense.
I know the answer:
It IS over for people who are vaccinated and boosted; anti vaxxers don't care.
I feel bad for kids who are unvaccinated and immunocompromised people, but that's the reason. For the vast majority, it's either no longer a threat or they never took it seriously anyway
You watch too much TV
You can still get long covid even if you are vaxed and boosted. I am, however, boosters only last 4 to 6 months.
I'm still masking up.
It is not over for people fully vaccinated. You can still get it and can still spread it vaccinated or not. It is up to the person who show symptoms to be mindful and not going around to spread it hence they should wear a mask to prevent spreading the germ.If you have to continue to get vaccinated every 6 months its pretty ridiculous hence why it usually takes up to 15 years to create an affective vaccine or drug. There is no guarantee either way which is why it should be a personal choice too much incorrect information being put out.
You have it totally upside down; the people who get constant vaccinations for COVID are still acting like there's a pandemic while those of us who didn't buy into the hysteria are going on as we used to.
You don't see unvaccinated people screaming at vaccinated that there's a pandemic going on.
I agree with you, Mehdi. I was unable to get a booster even though I'm a senior and sheltered myself to prevent exposure to Covid yet I caught it. I was ill for twice as long as compared to the 3 others in my household who caught it. I was scared.

Mehdi, you are a an excellent host and a powerful interviewer. All I want to say is that there is no way that China would lock down 25 million people in Shanghi for days and weeks if it was just the omicron variant. Chinese people have been vaccinated. Omicron would have given everyone a runny nose or a sore throat or a cough, but not much more. What is going on? My guess is that a new variant has emerged that is more deadly than everything before it and it can penetrate our defenses.
The Chinese vaccine never worked on omicron and the reason they locked down has nothing to do with health. It is because they cannot face the fact their own parties plan may not work.
variants are due to people not following the rules.

@@Flips420 thanks i thought my statement was quite cerebral.
The worse thing is that by doing this they are leaving the care and cost of these that get sick will also fall upon them. Corporate America is stronger than American lifes, and these more at risk are backing them up.
Some of us can not go to events if we deem it too risky.
My concern is the people that have to go to work and deal with the disgusting public. They don’t have a choice
those people are also the ones spreading the most though?
I don't remember us ever all doing the right thing. Perhaps only in certain areas but I don't believe not even there. A lot of people threw in the towel on this long, long ago.
Some people were throwing Covid parties and intentionally spreading Covid. They were enjoying doing it.
Mehdi.. Excellent show. It
is very Sad that I am expendable. For like five minutes society seemed to care. Sadly, billions have to die before the planet could be in balance... Which clearly not will not be happening at all. The big extinction.
The propaganda that never ends!
We just had a spike in cases that dwarfed all others and there was no coverage. Omicron my not have all the delightful terminal affects but it is the longest of the long haul and It's variants are so persistant and reinfection, incubation and transmission occurs in minutes, not hours or days. Doctors are in disbelief and
CDC has given up trying to stop stupid people. We will get what we deserve soon, don't be surprised but this next time please...!PANIC!
Exactly. Viruses mutate abs its hard to predict what they'll do. Maybe it will mutate down abs fizzle out. But it could cross with a different strain or another virus and create a new variant. Sigh. If people career we wouldn't be in bad of a mess
Republicans think they can just wish it away!
They're the reason this got out of hand. The least likely to treat Covid seriously. The least likely to mask or vax. Believes conspiracy theories abs fake cures. Threatening doctors. Etc.
Then complain that Covid is going after them when its their own fault. Look at Texas and Florida. Two states that did everything against doctors abs have the worse number of cases pet capita.
While i know not all republicans do this... But statically got to look at the numbers.
Yes
It works!
Hahaha ridiculous
Yup, I’m immunocompromised so I’m going on my third year of not being able to go anywhere. I’ve had my second booster. I haven’t been able to play in my bands and orchestras in more than two years. When I absolutely have to go somewhere, I have to wear masks and goggles and stay away from people as much as I can because no one wears a mask anymore. I can’t travel. I’m sick of staying home but I don’t have a choice as long as people won’t wear masks or quarantine.
Wait for it…
Wait for it…

Milestone achieved: 1 MILLION COVID DEAD IN THE USA!
Which includes deaths from...
- prescribing Remdesivir
- covid-related gunshot wounds, suicides, and car accidents
- misuse of ventilators
- deliberately categorizing influenza as part of the "covid" umbrella
- the vaxx and its boosters
And yet why didn’t the population decrease by 1 million?
Everyone acts as if Covid is over. No one wears masks or gets boosters. Its a shame.
Just two weeks to flatten the curve....
Read up on the origins of "15 days to slow the spread." Politics played a role in this idea.
