    The US has the Biden plan, that you supported. You actually thanked him.

    Just admit it, you are a failure.

    You know if all the MAGA supporters would simply get vaccinated and support proper public health measures we would not have endured such a painful 2021 nationally.

    Unfortunately, this sort of logic doesn't compute in the selfish mind.

    They simply don't want to be vaxxed--for whatever reasons ... unless they have to be vaxxed in order to go to the pub, or buy alcohol in the store, for examples.

    When their excuses are refuted, they switch to the next excuse on the 'Clown's list of antivaxxer excuses.'

    Once they reach the end of that list, they start over at the top again.

    Wow, in another stellar defeat, GWB-Trading, a Joe Biden supporter, gets completely demolished.

    SYDNEY — As 2021 drew to a close, many Australians were cautiously optimistic that the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic was behind them.

    The country had surpassed ambitious vaccine targets, meaning itsrolling lockdowns could cease, bothinternal and international borders would reopen, and as Prime Minister Scott Morrison declared, it was now possible to “live with this virus.”

    But as Australia moved to change course on its pandemic strategy, the highly transmissible omicron variant hit. In just over a month, cases have risen from around 1,000 a day to more than 100,000 a day. Hallmarks of the pandemic that Australia mostly avoided began to emerge.The health system is buckling. Many supermarket shelves are bare as sick workers stay home.

    Despite this surge in cases, most Australian states and territories are holding the line and allowing the virus to circulate in their communities, which critics have labeled the “let it rip” approach. But is it all bad news?

    Australia has stated for over a year when it reached a designated vaccination level ("80 percent of its over-16 population") it would stop its "zero Covid" policy. Why is this news about Australia in any way a surprise to anyone?

    You did fail to mention the part about the Australian government considering a policy of locking down the unvaccinated.

    GWB-Trading, a Biden supporter, has lost again.

    Are you a boomer?

    Plan B measures aimed at tackling the spread of Covid-19 are to be dropped across England, the Prime Minister has announced.

    Boris Johnson told MPs that people will no longer be told to work from home and, from Thursday next week when Plan B measures lapse, mandatory Covid certification will end.

    The Government will also no longer mandate the wearing of face masks anywhere from next Thursday and they will be scrapped in classrooms from this Thursday.

    The news comes as Covid infection levels are falling in most parts of the UK for the first time since early December.

    So for months the U.K. had planned the criteria for transitioning out of Plan B. Now that Omicron cases in the U.K. have declined to sufficiently low levels the U.K. is moving out of Plan B. Why is this a surprise? It is more a part of how proper public health practice works in the presence of a deadly disease. Mitigation measures are added when spread is high and removed methodically as spread declines.

    More like they got wise to the fact that nothing they did helped, so they're not going to continue to bang their head against the wall like you want them to.
