In other words Covid is here to stay ...... live with it and deal with it No symptoms? No problem. Vaccinated or unvaccinated? Same guidance. Exposed? No need to even quarantine. Students exposed? They can stay in class.

Least now the virus has mutated enough to be more like a heavy bout of cold/flu rather than the earlier life threaten nature.
Gotta love heard immunity..

all that stuff we said before ? Never mindPretty well sums it up.
Least now the virus has mutated enough to be more like a heavy bout of cold/flu rather than the earlier life threaten nature.True enough, but it can be added that the initial variant was not the deadly, world ending virus it was first portrayed as.

Indeed, however the world leaders erred on the side of extreme caution, thus minimizing the total fatality rate.

Herr Doctor Fauci is getting out of Dodge when the posse arrives in January.
He says he's leaving public service to pursue the "next chapter "of his career . That means there is the promise of a big $$$$$$ payday from the Pharmaceutical world ;probably for speeches . His next chapter should be retirement in Belize .....or maybe Beijing .....or maybe to the bat cave .
But even if he really stopped working ;he will retire with a $350 thousand + /year government pension.

While this may seem alot of money, bear in mind he has been in position for almost 40 years.
Presidents get paid handsomely as well for life, once they leave the White House.

Worth comparing this amount with Merchant Bankers, or CEOs of Tech companies...
While the public service annual sum is significant it pales into insignificance compared to vested shares, etc..

it is by far the largest public pension ever awarded . President's don't get that much . They get graft rewards when they leave .

Thank goodness I didn't drink a disinfectant as suggested by Trump!Why you persist in continuing to state what is known to everyone to be untrue is just beyond me. TDS at work for sure.
But if it's true, give us the quote where Trump suggested you "drink a disinfectant". We will all patiently wait as we keep hope alive.

Only in your world does Trump suggesting a MED EXPERT think about different ways of treating COVID such as "injecting" a disinfectant become a call for Wondergirl to "drink a disinfectant". One of the worst cases of TDS I've ever heard of.

Yet some people heard it that way. And drank. Would injecting it have been better?
As I said earlier, "Put the light inside, and heck, put the disinfectant inside!"

It was not a Trump fan making a false statement on this site. It was you. You are doing exactly what you have been critical of Trump doing.

It wasn't false. Apparently, you listen to him while you're wearing blinders. :-)

Now it amounts to a lie. "I didn't drink a disinfectant as suggested by Trump!" Trump never suggested that you or anyone else drink disinfectant. And now you are so full of pride you can't even admit to being wrong, even after YOU posted the Youtube video that showed you were wrong. You are very much like Trump!! Maybe you should change your name to "WonderTrump"?
