Fauci getting ready to send out the next variant

[Catloverplayer]

There are more cases then are being reported cause a lot of people can't get tested because of shortages including me. I have the Omacron Symptoms. Today is Day 4 for me. I'm hoping as I get closer to Day 10 I'll feel better. I'm assuming what I have Omacron and yes I'm trippily vaccinated. I'm going back to work tomorrow even though I'm still sick. Hopefully no one will catch what I've got cause I'll be wearing a cloth mask.
