The declaration, which goes into effect on Dec. 3, will allow the state to acquire pandemic-fighting supplies, increase hospital capacity and fight potential staffing shortages. It would also allow the state Health Department to limit non-essential and non-urgent procedures at hospitals.
"We continue to see warning signs of spikes this upcoming winter, and while the new Omicron variant has yet to be detected in New York State, it's coming," Hochul said.
"...It's coming."
Wait gets better. This from online Newsweek: "COVID-19/Omicron may be 500 times more infectious that the current Delta variant. It has 32 mutations in its spike protein, and may in some cases be able to bypass immunities from early vaccines."
Well, if this is deep state fear mongering. With the intent to driving the rubes to get shots. Consider me fucking freaked out. So, I might as well have shot myself up with speedballs. Wish I had. At least I would 'a got a sweet high out's da deal. The above reads like the warnings from December 2019, and January February 2020. Things are getting interesting. ...again.
I visited old pals for Thanksgiving. Covid kept us apart for two years. After the first Vax in early Spring, we met up. However then had to part again waiting for the Delta booster Vax. Now this shit. They...whoever they are. They say those Vaxxed, and boosted will have a good chance of not getting infected by the new shit. On da other hand Newsweek sez we're fucked.
Still, they're not saying it's a sure thing. Hell, it's ain't a sure thing now. Folks who got both shots in the Spring got infected in Summer. I fully expect the Booster shot won't be infallible either. However, both better than nothing. Just stay careful. Distance wear ya damned mask in crowds the fucking usual. I'm alive everyone in my building still breathing is alive because we did that for two solid fucking years.
Unlike the 11 in my building that went on like nothing happened. In talking with neighbors this is how they got sick. Mostly younger guys, and a few old dummies ignored the whole thing. They are now dead. This is why you may notice...why I take this shit as serious as I have all this time. I saw first-hand what happens when you don't.
People are afraid of the Vax or think demented crap about it. I get it. Distrustful afraid caught in angry insane conspiracies. No, you don't become magnetic. Although my Vax-chips gives me free HBO.
The Polio Vax had complications even deaths. This also happens with some annual flu shots. It's not perfect. However, it works for a very large majority. I don't buy the Omicron no Vax can stop it stuff yet. I still trust science.
I remember my playmates stopped dying from Polio because of the Vaccine. I remember my dad didn't die of flu when I was 11 because he got a shot. One remembers such things. So, I'll take da shots. At my age it beats shooting blood out of my mouth ears, and nose then shitting myself to death. All this fun alone in my digs or on some hospital ward. So, I'll take the shot.
We have to accept this foul shit is far from over.
There's a conga line of new variants on the way. Boosters may be part of the rest of our lives. This as Earth Changes are likely at the bottom of this crap. Well, that, and or our using the world as a vast shithole. That dynamic duo is my particular conspiracy for all this, and the most likely.
As for the Refuseniks. Good luck to them.
They've made their choices. As we discussed last night over turkey. None of us has the emotional energy to care about them anymore. We tried, and were worn out. It's mostly a Ideo-theological disagreement than a medical one with them. So, there's no point.
Dear friends even close family members are deep in denials rationalizations or internet science. They'll likely get infected infect others, and possibly perish. We love them, but it's so clear we can do nothing about it.
If they survive it will be with lifelong internal damage. The older the worse. Few just walks away from this. Usually, the youngest. Even then like the guys in my building age ain't a sure thing with this. Strange how so few in that Anti-vax realm seem to know or if know care what happens. What the terrible progressions are. I do. I take them dead serious which is why I'm alive.
Me, like I sez, I remember Polio I remember my dad, and later myself being saved by getting Vaxed. So yeah, despite the relative low risk, I trust Vaxs. That's my choice. Others have theirs.
End of story.
On with da fucking show.
