Cant and Can’t

This is why I have real issues with the “we must restrict everything to protect the unvaccinated” cant I hear from libs.

Naw, fuck that. Yes I understand hospitals are overwhelmed. But still: naw, fuck that.

Mia Did It

Weird the dichotomy on Twitter. People like Ian Welsh believe Omicron is the most severest disease EVAR since Ebola mated with the Black Plague and produced Ebola II: The Revenge!

And then there’s the saner people who look at what Omicron is actually doing and realize it’s much milder and pretty much is going to be the end of the pandemic. (Thanks, anonymous biohacker! That you, Mia?)

No Go Long

No. Omicron will not have nearly the Long Covid rates as Delta and earlier variants. I’d guess about 90% fewer.

Even “Long Covid” will turn out to be “Medium Covid” for most cases. The vast majority of people will recover fully in a year or two, as is the case with “Long Flu.” I think “Long Covid” is real, but not nearly as bad as folks want it to be.
