    Okay just for you Dave to help you better understand what I meant. I will amend my response to say omicron is rapidly and significantly falling and will be behind us very soon.

    That is a pretty good leap from your previous statement: "Omicron is all but gone."

    Being the timestamp of that post was past 9 PM----we understand.

    I guess it is the farm boy in me---I have an strong aversion to bull chit.

    People are dying, people are getting sick---how many of those would agree with your dismissal of this "plague"?

    Boy you are a wordsmith. How can I dismiss something that I've already had. Omicron is going away and soon. But you have learned the method well from people that have the same politics you do. You attack the source, you attack their character you try to make them look silly insane and terribly lacking in credibility. Then that makes you feel warm and fuzzy but it doesn't change the facts.

    At this rate we could be under a 1/4 of a million new cases a day in no time!

    Yeah, Fauci has his detractors, but I'm hoping he's right. Our nation needs to move on from the Covid Recession.

    Well now haven't things changed the closer we get to the 2022 midterms. Some of Daves sources are all the sudden changing their colors. But I do understand Dave is a "Republican" oh also I apologize in advance for breaking your 9:00 p.m. rule.

    While the numbers continue to be encouraging it is only in a relative sense. The 2500+ that died yesterday would probably argue the point

    We should see an inflection point in the number of deaths within a few days.

    I may just like a 9 pm rule. But, my friends, I'll settle for Covid deaths hitting bottom.

    I expect that next week will see confirmation of a downward trend in deaths
