You got to wait many hours to get tested to find out if your sick. 😂

CDC Director Walensky :
"high viral loads suggest an increase risk of transmission and raised concern that, vaccinated people infected with Delta can transmit the virus."

Never fear of the spread of omicron there’s many more for 150 km/h hurricanes tornadoes rather to flatten 200 miles like Mayfield don’t worry about it I’m crying worry about mother nature

If only everyone would just get vaccinated, then we wouldn’t be dealing with these variations

Wonder how they are going to test over 100 employees here at work EVERY WEEK What a burden for the company but I'll play along for now!!!!

“The vaccine should be tested on politicians first. If they survive, the vaccine is safe.
If they don’t, then the country is safe.”
