From Jeff Childers Today<\/p>\n
USA Today reported that Biden\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
If USA Today is right, this actually signals a major policy change. The Administration has been wary of at-home tests because they aren\u2019t recorded and reported by local health departments. So, if they start giving people at-home tests, it will lower reported Covid \u201ccases.\u201d Ta-da! Presto! It worked!<\/p>\n
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\u2019t make INFECTIONS go away, but it will make it LOOK LIKE infections are dropping, and that\u2019s just as good, right?<\/p>\n
? CNN\u2019s obnoxious TV doc Leanna Wen, who never saw a mandate she didn\u2019t want to marry and have a family with, said this on the air yesterday: \u201cDon\u2019t wear a cloth mask. Cloth masks are little more than facial decorations. There\u2019s no place for them in light of Omicron.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hold on, hold on. Wait a second. Cloth masks don\u2019t work? They\u2019re no more than facial decorations? Against Omicron? Is she saying face masks USED to work? Like, with Delta? But now they don\u2019t anymore? There\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I can\u2019t wait to hear how they explain this one. They can\u2019t just admit that cloth masks didn\u2019t work all this time for prior variants. So \u2026 Science is truly awesome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
