Chief medical adviser to the president, Dr. Anthony Fauci, said he"wouldn't be surprised" if the new COVID-19 variant omicron was already in the United States, on NBC Saturday morning.
Two flights from Johannesburg and Cape Town arrived in the Netherlands Friday, just after the Dutch government, along with other countries, imposed a ban on southern African nations with the discovery of omicron, according to the AP. No cases of omicron have been identified in the U.S. to date, but on Friday the WHO classified the new variant as a "variant of concern.”
Omg! What are you waiting for?!?!? Lockdown everything and everyone immediately!

Expanded eligibility boosts U.S. COVID-19 booster shots ahead of holidaysMillions of Americans got COVID-19 booster shots at a near record pace after the Biden administration expanded eligibility last week, but health officials concerned about climbing infections ahead of the winter holiday season urged more to get the additional protection. About 37.5 million people had received a booster shot in the United States as of Tuesday, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 'I think it is a good start,' said Dr. William Schaffner, a leading infectious disease expert from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, who added that he believed boosters are more important for personal protection than for curtailing spread of the virus. I would too if I had got the shot and seen that it really has not worked. I will feel good that I survived the first round as some have not. Keep being the trial monkey. Re: Booster Shot From the CDC website: COVID-19 booster shots are the same formulation as the current COVID-19 vaccines. (in case you weren't already aware).

Factbox-Countries weigh need for booster COVID-19 shotsMany countries are rolling out COVID-19 vaccine booster shots, but there is no consensus among scientists that they are necessary and the World Health Organization wants the most vulnerable people worldwide to be fully vaccinated first. Canada's National Advisory Committee on Immunization is recommending booster shots of an authorized mRNA vaccine to those who are moderately or severely immunocompromised. Previously it had suggested the extra doses should be considered for frail older people and those with weakened immune systems. I am not taking mine! It's a flu, or did you miss the fact that last year there were only 1800 flu cases? Did you ever THINK to investigate that?
