I didn’t go anywhere hot and I still caught on fire!

Are superspreader events a thing of the past or do we simply accept illness from public gatherings now? The media is simply no longer reporting about large clusters of infections like they did at the start of the pandemic. The United States defunded and scaled back its testing and contact tracing programs in early 2022, and in doing so,it became less clear just how widespread COVID-19 is. What we don’t see or hear about doesn’t exist in the public coincidence.

Superspreading events after large gatherings like concerts, weddings and conferences are still very much a thing.Being vaccinated or having a previous infection does not stop you from re-infection with the new variants like XBB.1.5 which now dominates the country.

A superspreader is also a name of an infectious person who is asymptomatic but very contagious. Some people Some people shed a bit of virus for a couple days, whereas others shed a lot of virus for longer periods of time and run the risk of infecting a ton of people. Typhoid Mary didn’t realize she was infecting others. in the early 1900s she infected over 55 people. She spread disease by not properly washing her hands, but today COVID is airborne so a superspreader simply had to exhale in a room to infect others.

Today we don’t really know how common superspreader events are because there’s so little testing. The worst thing President Biden did was supply a few at home tests to each American household and then declare that the pandemic is over when it clearly is not. His gaslighting, has resulted in over 700,000 deaths and is an act of mass murder. People want to believe life has returned to normal and they will believe any lie to attend superspreader events just as they did before the start of the pandemic.

 

Memory of a Goldfish

Americans have the memory of a goldfish. We will all be exposed to Omicron by Christmas. It is doubling every day and a half which is faster that any of the previous waves. Because of America and the world’s failed response to the virus, herd Immunity is off the table.

It is like we have returned to the first weeks of the pandemic. Superspreader events crop up faster than I can document them. A Norwegian cruise ship is again acting as a petri dish for spreading disease.

When death numbers fall a bit, Americans are in a mad rush to return to “life as normal.” They rush to crushing crowds at concerts and celebrate holidays with as many people as they can in enclosed spaces. Mindless selfishness is the norm. The virus has come to its senses and realized that it makes no sense to kill off it’s human host so quickly. It is best to keep the human host alive to incubate new and more exotic variants.

Do not panic. Early cases of Omicron though spreading faster, are presenting as less severe that previous waves. The numbers of hospitalizations and people needing oxygen are not rising exponentially in South Africa. However with so many people becoming infected around the world all at once, even a small percentage of deadly infections could be a horrifyingly high number. The good news is that this tsunami of infections, if not severe, could infect and thus give anti bodies to those that have refused to get vaccinated. The previously infected will be re-infected. This could create some semblance of normalcy as we learn to live with the virus, but future mutations could be more deadly.
