From Peter Alexander.

BREAKING: The CDC confirms the first case of Omicron in the US was identified in San Francisco. The individual was a traveler who returned from South Africa on November 22. They were fully vaccinated and had mild symptoms.

TR....I think you and I exchanged some posts already along the way....that ol' PA connection! 

Yeah- Here in PA we only have to look forward to Dr. Oz who just announced he is running for the vacant senate seat.  And he is not even from PA.  I actually thought this was a joke.  But no it is real.  Well maybe he can get COVID under control in our state and reinitiate cruising from Philadelphia!😀

I went to my  doctor the other day and asked him "when will this pandemic be over?"

His answer was " I don't know, I'm a doctor not a politician."

See my comment below about Dr. Oz who is a doctor and wants to be a politician.

yeah the genie is out of the bottle.  That is why travel restrictions are ludicrous at this point.  We will travel, cruise and just move forward with some caution but no major concerns.  Three vaccine shots and counting!

lol...I sort of lost faith in that guy after he spoke about reopening schools with there possibly "only being around 2-3% total mortality". Good grief!! Not too comforting if your kid winds up being one of them!  Hard to comment too much on this without really getting political, which is sometimes frowned upon here.

I'm leaving for Orange County in less than two weeks to see my Grandson. I hope they do not close the state 😉. 3 shots for me too, no underlying health issues, and a direct 2 hour flight. I will take the risk because this is getting to be ridiculous.

This new "variant" is called Omicron.  Rearrange the letters...it spells "Moronic" which is what you are if you fall for this ish again.

Meet the new boss.  Same as the old boss!

Even though I refer to Dr Oz as Dr Quack and think that he is somewhat of an idiot in the health claims he makes, his comment about mortality was a 2-3% change in total mortality, not 2-3% mortality in the school population in other words if we would have had 200,000 deaths without the schools being open the number would have been 204,000 to 206,000 with schools open according to his comment.  Most of which would be the elderly and other at risk individuals.

Thanks NOCL.I like you.

Don't get too technical with the science stuff here. We are having fun today. ;-))

Had a senior flashback.....just think, if Keith Moon were still alive playing drums at his iconic pace, COVID-19 would be wiped off the face of the earth...it wouldn't stand a chance...

Agree. I started playing the drums in 1967. My playing style was a lot like Keith's and Paul Whaley of Blue Cheer. Now my style is more like Mic Fleetwood.

Oh no, I better get out of Dodge!  I am in San Diego for a few weeks and this is just up the freeway from me!  Thanks TB for this info, stay away from Orange County, LOL.  Obviously JK, but let the hysteria begin, LOL.

Actually, I saw this info on Twitter and if you could only read the comments. They are hilarious. People have had it with the so called science we have listened to and have followed their advice for so long.

Moronic

Neither Hillary nor Bobby Kennedy were from NY.  Didn't stop them.

Well if you provide more context to your , as currently posted, nonsense statement, perhaps we’d have clarity 

Read the title of the thread . Piece it together .

I'm 79, and my wife is 71. We have no thoughts of cancelling our 4 cruises booked. We're both vaxxed, and boosted.
