China can't lockdown over Omicron 2, it's far too contagious, they are pissing against the wind. They can slow it down while we surge them supplies of mRNA vaccines, we make over a billion a month and can spare them. They might come with a price though, China can sell Russia consumer goods and food, they will need to replace the groceries so many Russians depend on. No military support though, they might be able to cut a deal. Russia will be even more fucked and pay through the nose, while the Chinese rape and pillage them and eventually own them.

Just about everything we use comes from China. If they are fucked, we are fucked. Inflation can get a lot worse if there is no one there making I-phones, etc. etc.

But on the good side, the price of oil dropped 30% in the last 7 or 8 days due to their lockdowns.

We are fucked. Not because of this or that happening or even the combo. We are fucked because we don't see ourselves as 1 people. Time for the new world order. 1 world, 1 nation, 1 people. Hail Satan. Hahaha.
This virus understands that all humans are the same. Attrition will be how Covid wins the war. Too many people packed too close together. We are sooo dumb, but think we are smart. It is tragically humorous.

That would be a bigger consideration than screwing Russia, so I think we can cut a deal with China, they like a weak Russia, it creates possibilities undreamed of for them.

China makes the basic building blocks for many industries, without the basic ingredients most of the world will have a hard time producing things. We're fucked if BA2 has uncontrolled spread in china.

In some aspects covid does more damage to the immune system than HIV.

T cell apoptosis characterizes severe Covid-19 disease - Cell Death & Differentiation

Severe SARS-CoV-2 infections are characterized by lymphopenia, but the mechanisms involved are still elusive. Based on our knowledge of HIV pathophysiology, we hypothesized that SARS-CoV-2 infection-mediated lymphopenia could also be related to T cell apoptosis. By comparing intensive care unit...

Looks like hybrid immunity did not confer additional protection from hospital admission than just the vaccine alone.

Comparative analysis of the risks of hospitalisation and death associated with SARS-CoV-2 omicron (B.1.1.529) and delta (B.1.617.2) variants in England: a cohort study

The risk of severe outcomes following SARS-CoV-2 infection is substantially lower for omicron than for delta, with higher reductions for more severe endpoints and significant variation with age. Underlying the observed risks is a larger reduction in intrinsic severity (in unvaccinated...

The government needs to contract with COVID vaccine makers by the end of the month in order to have enough boosters for Americans this fall, but it can't proceed until Congress approves more money, according to two Biden officials.

All I know is that in MA. it seems people are done w/Covid,Masks are worn by employees in Grocery and fast food stores at about a 75% rate as for the general public maybe 25% are still masking probably less than that,all while knowing that Europe is surging again as well as China,I'm a hey pretty well built dude for my age and triple Phizered but I don't feel comfortable around unmasked people that I don't know,I don't think I've developed a phobia over this whole thing but I'm not feeling footloose and fancy free like we are in the clear yet,there have just been too many twists and turns and some people have already dismissed the fact that almost ONE MILLION Americans have died in 2 years,not counting the amount of people experiencing the funk of long Covid that science still doesn't understand.

I was at my local electric supply shop and a few electricians were talking about omicron. The one guy said he almost went to the ER because he was hallucinating and had distorted vision, I left rather quickly lol.
