It is well past time that we start to cancel their plans and agenda and just stop playing their game...

Stay home and celebrate with close family and friends.

Omicron has less symptoms and isn't as severe as the Delta V but more people especially those with Omicron are going straight into Long Covid. Some of these victims were fully vaxxed.

Omicron is not impacting anything; the government is. Every time things seem to be getting back to normal, a new variant is creat- heum found.

People are so stubern. Now i'm starting to believe my great-grandfather, who used to say that soliders just to be called heros in history books.

The shot might have created this variant. Africa started them about 2 months ago and wham we have a variant. Same with the Delta, they started giving out the shot a few months before.

I'd rather stay home...it'll be too cold in Chicago and too much going on
