Where were these voices back when this started. Where they not consulted before the decisions made by the governments for Covid reaction plans? If not, then why not?
What you said makes total sense.
But since when sir did this or any government do anything that makes sense? Keep your pipe dreams to yourself. We don’t need solutions that make sense. We need more hysteria and knee jerk reactions, that’s the way.
Public officials created the food shortages. Not some invisible virus. Gift 馃ぁ
Maybe you should look into who鈥檚 buying it all up
Nerd!
Well omicron won鈥檛 the government response will
Could someone please tell me one difference between the flu and omicron?
They鈥檙e in the same family but have different properties that make them behave differently, like how cauliflower and Brussels sprouts are in the same family but have different properties that make them look and taste different.
@B F That’s interesting, thanks! Could you please tell me a symptom that omicron has that the common flu does not?
@juliette Irene Symptoms vary from person to person but what I鈥檝e heard so far is mild symptoms similar to those experienced with the flu. The differences seem to be less pronounced in symptoms and more pronounced via increased transmissibility and a longer incubation period before symptoms show compared to the flu.
@B F So there is no significant difference then? This is what we are sacrificing everything for? Essentially the flu?
@juliette Irene The differences are still being studied, and it will understandably take a while for studies on long-term effects to produce results. While short-term effects from the new variant may not be as severe as previous variants and may more closely resemble familiar ailments like the flu it鈥檚 prudent to prevent spread until all the effects, especially long-term effects, are better understood.
No food shortages just another false reason to hike the prices.
It’s not food shortages. It’s the fuel and delivery problems.
Are you going to f….wake up FINALLY.
Fruits and vegetables aren’t fresh their fast frozen By the time they get to the shelves
Cancel Trudeau and his cabal
