SnarkyGoblin Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 Not really politically related, but this headline caught me by surprise. Disease experts warn White House of potential for omicron-like wave of illness https://wapo.st/3AXf2OY Quote The White House recently received a sobering warning about the potential for the coronavirus to come roaring back, with experts reaching a consensus that there’s a roughly 20 percent chance during the next two years of an outbreak rivaling the onslaught of illness inflicted by the omicron variant. A forecast from one widely regarded scientist pegged the risk at a more alarming level, suggesting a 40 percent chance of an omicron-like wave. White House officials spoke with about a dozen leading experts in virology, immunobiology and other fields about the prospect that the virus would again develop mutations that allow it to evade protections from vaccines and treatments. Those discussions, not previously reported, came as the administration plan for the May 11 end of the public health emergency that was declared at the dawn of the pandemic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also that crazy Prager guy puts people into 3 categories: leftist, liberal and conservative. He's also advising people not to vote for Trump in the primary.

If you wanna attack it’s impartiality, be my guest. Trump is bonkers and a pathological narcissist, but he does not exhibit nearly as many signs of cognitive decline as Biden.
