From Jeff Childers Today

USA Today reported that Biden’s Big Announcement today is expected to be the purchase of a half-billion at-home rapid tests and the deployment of 1,000 fully-injected military medical staff to overburdened hospitals to fight surging blue-state infections and the new, highly-transmissible Omicron variant.

If USA Today is right, this actually signals a major policy change. The Administration has been wary of at-home tests because they aren’t recorded and reported by local health departments. So, if they start giving people at-home tests, it will lower reported Covid “cases.” Ta-da! Presto! It worked!

In other words, distribution of at-home tests is the first thing they are doing that will ACTUALLY reduce cases. People will use the at-home cases and not go wait in line someplace. Reported cases will fall. I mean, it won’t make INFECTIONS go away, but it will make it LOOK LIKE infections are dropping, and that’s just as good, right?

? CNN’s obnoxious TV doc Leanna Wen, who never saw a mandate she didn’t want to marry and have a family with, said this on the air yesterday: “Don’t wear a cloth mask. Cloth masks are little more than facial decorations. There’s no place for them in light of Omicron.”

Hold on, hold on. Wait a second. Cloth masks don’t work? They’re no more than facial decorations? Against Omicron? Is she saying face masks USED to work? Like, with Delta? But now they don’t anymore? There’s something physically different about Omicron that defeats the masks? Wen is a reliable promoter of the narrative. So this must be a trial balloon for a KN95 requirement or something.

Anyway, I can’t wait to hear how they explain this one. They can’t just admit that cloth masks didn’t work all this time for prior variants. So … Science is truly awesome.
