Still very early but this may be way worse than Delta from the numbers coming out thus far.

I don't have anything to add that's not in that twitter thread at this point. May want to stock up on things just in case things get crazy again.

Stock up on what things?

This. & nope. This disease is here to stay. We all know the whole world ain't gonna lockdown again. I'll take my precautions & I got my booster, but I don't expect the whole world to shut down again.

I just bought up all of the toilet paper I could find. Time to hunker down.

Don't forget to buy 100000 bottles of hand sanitizer you can't resell ;o)

Toilet paper of course. As the joker says, add a little covid variant and everyone loses their minds

Whatever anyone had trouble getting earlier in the pandemic. While I do feel most of the country will not tolerate a lockdown of any sort at this point in time, no matter how bad it gets, I have no idea how this may affect supply chains for various things.

Of course I could be 100% wrong and there may be no supply issues whatsoever. Honestly I put that comment in there just to get responses from people and see if anyone thinks the supply aspect of basic goods could be problematic.

Oh look, another totally super scary new variant as soon as things are looking like they’re getting back to normal. What a huge surprise…..I’m sure nobody saw this coming.

I'd bet on it not being an issue again.

It seems like we already have supply chain issues as is.

My company already mandated everyone get vaccinated or be placed on unpaid leave... at least in my county we have something like a 75% vaccination rate.

Im curious whether the concern for this new variant comes from higher transmissibility or more severe symptoms.

I don't know about most people, but im so... damn... exhausted even hearing about anything related to the numbers, especially when most people (over 50%) are already doing everything we can. They may close down certain business or put more restrictions in place, but at this point many of even the farthest lefties are just burnt out from it all.

I guess I could buy more vitamin D or something... but im not sure what else.

This is why I think people won't be panic-buying again.

Its basically a real life version of “come at me bro” of 99.99% of the world’s feelings about covid.

At this point I don't know how I haven't had it yet... I mean there's fully vaccinated people who rarely go anywhere and they're getting breakthrough cases...

Unless of course I had it and didn't know... not sure.

Good thing the meta verse is almost here.

I think a ton of people have had it and don’t know. Its not like every time I have ever gotten sick in my life i go and cry about it.

All I know is I haven't FELT ill like that in maybe 5+ years... I can't remember the laugh time I had a cough, fever, the flu-like fatigue...

I'd be curious to have an antibody test though

I've got 10 years worth of ammunition and components. Might sell 700 dollars worth of it and buy another $2000 shotgun again.

What do you recommend for shooting viruses?

Darts and a blowgun. Just wipe the virus on the tip first.

Stop making it easy for me.

Wipe the virus on the tip? Come on now

Two more weeks and two more booster vaccinations. It's going to be fine.

Inject yourself with a worse virus to mog the beta virus

[iamanalphamale]

but I don't expect the whole world to shut down again.

Funny, you think you'd have a say in that matter if, and when, they decide to implement that rule, with force.
