More Covid news to scare people with

[stevil]

Then we must quadruple and quintuple vax, and mandate a booster containing the same stuff that is already shown to not work even on the delta variant! Covid vaccines are the answer to every problem!
The faster big pharma creates a new vax, the more effective and safer it will be. It must be shoved into every arm in the world!

What alternative suggestion do you have?
What should the world do to protect themselves and the vulnerable from this deadly pandemic?

Allow people to consult with their doctor about what they should do, and leave it at that. Medical concerns are between a doctor and a patient, not a citizen and his president.

Nobody is stopping people from having consultations with their doctor.

Pandemics are a concern of government, governments shouldn't just ignore the fact that a disease is spreading through the population and killing hundreds of thousands of people.
One of the core government's responsibilities is to make society safe.

Can you prove that?

I can support it with evidence. "Prove" is a bad term to use in such a context.

A State of Emergency over a very mild variant that we haven't had any cases of.

Then it should have been obvious to you that the State of Emergency is not connected to the new variant (why didn't you simply just check?). It's been decared because covid cases are spiking and hospitals run the risk of being overwhelmed. Or maybe you'd prefer to wait until the hospitals are overwhelmed and people are being treated in the carpark before taking any action.

Let see it. What evidence do you exert yourself to have that will exonerate your claim?

Checking it again:
"New York Gov. Kathy Hochul issued a state of emergency order on Friday in response to the identification of the COVID-19 omicron variant."

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul issues state of emergency in response to omicron variant

Do you notice what the article says the emergency order is in response to?
Looks like you're wrong again. Try to read more carefully what the articles say.

C'mon Sub. Exert yourself. I also want to see that claim exonerated.

The state of emergency is not directly linked to current problems with omicron as you suggested. Because there have been no infections in NY of omicron. It's due to an already rising rate of infections due to existing variants. But granted that omicron won't help if existing vaccines aren't suitable, it's an entirely reasonable action to take.

Not directly linked?

"in response to the identification of the COVID-19 omicron variant."

See it now?

Not in the actual Order 11, no.
Maybe that was Fox News’ spin?

Oh my! Exonerate? I think that someone may need an attitude check.

I just might.

Who? Who would that be? And how much would the check be for?

You should have kept reading. That was from FOX News. It was not the reason given. If you had read just a little bit further you would have seen this:

"Gov. Hochul said while the omicron variant hasn't been detected in New York state, preparations need to be made, adding that the state is seeing "warning signs" of a potential spike in cases.

"We've taken extraordinary action to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and combat this pandemic. However, we continue to see warning signs of spikes this upcoming winter, and while the new Omicron variant has yet to be detected in New York State, it's coming," Gov. Hochul said in a press release. "

In other words it is due to observations of a threat right now that they are trying to head off before it becomes more serious. The Omicron variant is not a factor yet, but may be so in the future.

Not a factor yet, however.....
"in response to the identification of the COVID-19 omicron variant."

That's what's called doublespeak.

The claim is found guilty. Sentencing is set for January 6.

 

[Bradskii]

Not directly linked?

No. See the previous posts confirming this. Hint: Always quote the person making the statement and not how a reporter interprets it.

That's called taking pro-active steps to be prepared.

Telling people one thing and then contradicting the statement doesn't prepare anyone. It just confirms what many already believe--that the "authorities" will say whatever it takes to scare people without giving actual information.
