    I'm prepared to be laughed at for how unrealistic it seems but i think another lockdown is coming. They're just waiting til after the holidays because "cancelling Christmas" would be politically impossible and there's too much profit to be lost by messing with the holiday.

    This shits so bad and it's effecting the vaccinated and once the hospitals start filling up in a week it'll be possible

      I don't want to ruin the magic for you comrade, but I think you're out of your fucking mind if you think there will be another lockdown in the US :avoheart:

        Yeah I'm prepared to be totally wrong.

        And of course I'm not talking about a real lockdown but like whatever the US did at the beginning

        The classic American style lockdown. Or, dare I say, lockdown with American characteristics

      Cases up 500% in Florida, hospitalizations increased 20%.

      Flight are being canceled due to so many flight crews getting sick.

      It's gonna be a wild couple months.

    So when can we stop pretending everything is normal and go full apocalypse mode?

    Here's the thing: omicron is less dangerous, right? But it is also far more infectious, and can bypass the vaccines. Doesn't this mean just as many, if not more people will end up hospitalised at any one time? Or be asked to isolate? Things are going to get very interesting very quickly
