Biden has overseen 400,000 COVID deaths. By his own logic, he should resign.
At the Oct. 22, 2020, debate against then-President Donald Trump, Joe Biden said anyone who is responsible for 220,000 deaths from COVID should not be president.
Now, here it is December 2021 and these 220,000 deaths have increased to 813,000.
By my calculations, Joe Biden is now responsible for 417,000 deaths — more than the 396,000 who died while Trump was president. By his own thought process, Biden should have resigned several months ago, especially since he told us he was going to fix this.
Unbelievable that that many people could have voted for this incompetent, probably criminal person to lead this great nation.

Political class is a 'machine that's just devouring the city,' economist says of NYC's COVID-19 mandates
'We've lost our minds,' economist Jeffrey Tucker says of NYC's COVID-19 mandates
Lifestyles forced onto New Yorkers through restrictive coronavirus mandates are "not the way we're supposed to conduct public life in this country," a libertarian economist warned after seeing the Big Apple's lockdowns firsthand.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, New York City took dramatic action to curb the spread of COVID-19. In March 2020, then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered all nonessential businesses to close statewide and had shut down schools. More recently, Mayor Bill de Blasio imposed the first-ever vaccine mandate on all private-sector workers in the city.
"Freedom is what made New York great, and now people just make fun of that," Brownstone Institute President Jeffrey Tucker, referring to public figures who have dismissed or mocked those who opposed vaccine mandates for reasons of personal freedom, told Fox News.
Tucker traveled to New York in early December and was dismayed.
"Being back now since the mandates, it's a complete shock what's happened to the city," he said, noting his initial surprise when he was asked show proof of vaccination at a bar.
"You can't enter into any public building, any bar or restaurant, museum, library, anywhere without flashing the pass," Tucker told Fox News.
Tucker called the requirement, which de Blasio dubbed the "Key to NYC Pass", a "sadistic policy" that felt "degrading" and "un-American." Only a handful of U.S. cities require proof of COVID-19 vaccination to enter certain indoor businesses.

I think a higher percentage of omicron is actually better. Britain is omicron dominant, which has led the number of new cases to skyrocket:
However, covid deaths have continued to decline:
The number of new hospital admissions for Covid has gone up in London, which is far ahead of the rest of the country in its omicron epidemic:
But the number of people requiring ventilation in hospital is not even yet at the peak of the summer delta wave:
Most of the findings of new hospital admissions for omicron are merely incidental findings, as all inpatients are tested for Covid. Omicron displaces delta, so seems to confer an immunity to delta, which is more harmful. So I think this variant is going to bring about an end to the pandemic.

All the experts agree that everyone is going to get exposed to Omicron at one point or another and that there is no escaping it.
So, logic dictates that if I and other people who have already had Covid 19 and have not had a vaccine, we would only need to be exposed to the Omicron variant to become immune since it has already been established that everyone will get the Omicron variant because there is no escaping it. And it's free. That must really piss off big pharma. lol

Americans stuck waiting hours to be COVID tested as cases shatter record, Biden blamed for lack of supply
Americans across the nation have been waiting for hours in lines to take COVID-19 tests after the Christmas holiday as cases surge and rapid tests disappear from store shelves.
President Biden alluded to the alarmingly long lines this week but said his administration couldn't have seen the COVID-19 surge coming. "Seeing how tough it was for some folks to get a test this weekend shows that we have more work to do, and we’re doing it," Biden said on a call with governors. "But it’s not enough. It’s clearly not enough. If I had — we had known, we would have gone harder, quicker if we could have."
In the same speech, Biden told the nation's governors that there is "no federal solution" to the pandemic. "There is no federal solution. This gets solved at the state level," Biden said.
Dr. Jerome Adams, the surgeon general in the Trump administration, said that the need for more testing should have been anticipated, citing a report last week that the Biden Administration rejected a proposal in October to ramp up testing ahead of Thanksgiving and Christmas.
"It comes down to a lack of federal prioritization. There’s no other way to put it… It’s frustrating when you hear President Biden and Vice President Harris say on the record, ‘We didn’t see this coming. No one could have seen this coming,’" Adams told Fox News Digital.
"Well, we always knew that in the holiday season, you’re going to see a surge. We always knew that delta, after it hit India and the UK, was going to come hit us. So this reflects a failure of the administration to really take this seriously and to prioritize the virus the way they told us they would."

US smashes global COVID infection record for a second day with 647,067 new cases recorded after experts warned 'we are at the very beginning' of a viral blizzard that will cause de facto shut-down - but deaths halve to 1,400
The US smashed yet another global COVID infection record on Thursday when 647,067 new cases were reported - up 26 percent from the day before, when 512,533 new cases were reported, according to a DailyMail.com analysis of John Hopkins data. In total, the United States saw 2.49 million new cases within the past week, outpacing the country's previous record of 1.7 million new cases recorded in the one-week period from January 3 through January 9. Daily life continues to be upended in between Christmas and New Year's Day as over 1,300 U.S. flights were canceled by late Thursday, businesses face shortages due to staff testing positive and Americans continue facing hours-long lines to get tested. According to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), anywhere from 40 to 70 percent of new cases in America are of the Omicron variant, which was first discovered last month by South African health officials.

They can't get a closer estimate than that. 40-70% ?
I bet you it's more like 90% omicron variant and that means we all have the flu just like last year, and the year before that, and the year before that.... In fact, it would not surprise me in the least to find out, years from now, that omicron turns out to be a new variant of influenza.

REPORT: Over 95% of Omicron Cases are in Vaccinated People.
New data from Germany appears to undermine vaccine urgency.
The paper – published December 30th by the German agency the ‘Robert Koch Institute’ – included information on the vaccination status of 4,206 individuals who contracted the latest variant of the virus.
Four thousand and twenty people who reported contracting Omicron in the study – which equates to 95.6 percent of total cases – had received at least two doses of COVID-19 vaccines. Twenty-eight percent of the Omicron-positive group had also received a third dose or “booster” shot.
Just 186 people contracting Omicron were unvaccinated in the entire sample, showing that vaccinated individuals were over 21 times as likely to contract the COVID-19 variant.

COVID levels in Boston's waste water TRIPLE in a week and rise six-fold in a fortnight as Omicron causes shocking virus surge
The levels of coronavirus detected in Boston's waste water has spiked by three times in one week and six times in two weeks amid the Omicron-fueled COVID-19 surge rocking Massachusetts, along with the rest of the nation. The amount of virus traces in a given region's waste water is used by experts to forecast trends in the population's upcoming COVID-19 cases.

This is nonsense misinformation. They are reporting a double-infection of coronavirus and influenza in the same individual, not a coronavirus-influenza hybrid virus.

Oh please. Like none of the other articles in this thread took poetic license when submitting and publishing their articles about coronavirus.
Everything else your saying is in the article. And if influenza is capable of sustaining or causing further damage in the person by mixing with covid then that is the very definition of hybrid is it not?
