So knowing that vaccinated people can still get infected you feel safe in a restaurant based on the vaccination status of the other clients?

Astronomically contagious 🤦🏻‍♀️ ok I'm done with this.

Hope everyone that reads this has a very Merry Christmas! God bless you an yours❤💚

this is garbage there is no omicron, only Klaus Schwab.

It's summer in South Africa. It's winter in the United States and the UK. There's your difference everyone seems to be ignoring.

[zueysrf]

Wonder why they don’t mentions that there been only mild symptoms all throughout the whole world with this variant.

[herbertbovine]

I'm absolutely positive the 4th shot will solve everything. If not then certainly the 5th and 6th will.


But, I swear, if the 7th doesn't get us get us back to normal then I'm defiantly going to reconsider getting my 8th.

Maybe the reason the numbers are low in Africa is most are not vaccinated?

[michelley]

If Omicron is weaker than Delta, should we expect the next variant to be more weak and if so is this a sign that the pandemic may be on its way out?

[sivoham]

Can’t imagine celebrating Christmas with a crowd is really that important and worth catching Omicron and spreading it all over.
Vax and boosters don’t seem to prevent contracting it anyway. So now we can’t say unvaccinated are the reason for its spread.

I had bad fever for 2 days, feel exhausted muscle pains, sore throat, dry cough (rare); now the fever is gone, but still feel depressed, sleep more than usual, no appetite only favor sweet things, I even cough more. I drank a lot of water during fever…

[ricardobjj]

South Park was right, this will never end. The future sucks!

[TheBUFFNITTI]

If you're having covid problems I feel bad for you son, you have 99 boosters and you still ain't done HIT ME!💉

[paragonsmith]

Who tf can afford to eat at a restaurant with all the inflation?

[ringogringo]

The only thing we have to fear is socialism.

[LonerneilGaming]

I literally cried watching this, I can’t believe what this world has become. I hope to god that someday we come to our senses and remember we are all human. May your soul be spared

[alutacontinua]

Here in SA the number are high but very few hospitalisations. Very few deaths, compared to the Delta variant last year this time.

[oaktownie]

Learned about Pandemics 50 years ago, from my pediatric epidemiologist dad....#1 Caveat....DO NOT TRAVEL....travel spreads the virus. Highly entitled, important people simply cannot miss out on their cruises and flights to other parts of the world though.

There are probably 237, 000 dislikes on this by now. But they we're one step ahead of this nonsense.

[Vixxen_Viktoria]

Reading the comments is proof why we will always be in this mess.
