Not really but…PANIC just the same. Omicron has arrived!
This new COVID variant could have arrived in Europe as a result of white privilege, possibly weeks before. Although there have not been any reports that Europeans had their faces melted (likely because of white privilege), doctors from South Africa claimed to have found the variant. These reports from South Africa led countries all over the world to adopt a familiar chicken routine. The sky didn’t fall but travel from the “rainbow country” was halted.
The media reported that cases doubled in South Africa – IN ONE DAY! Doubled! PANIC! But while media and governments panicked, in the back of the room, South African doctors were raising hands to add more science stuff – like, available evidence indicates that the new variant is more transmissible but symptoms appear to be mild. Is it mild? You’d call it a mild winter. But that doesn’t mean stop the panic – PANIC!
The legacy media with COVID has only one job. It is to make sure more people are not in danger. An example is Nick Thompson, editor at the Atlantic (thankfully not related). His own tweets were sent by him PANICWarning, despite the fact that some doctors reported mild reactions to Omicron.

Thompson interviewed Twitter’s new CEO. Thompson is a big fan of the latest thought cop dictator.
Back to today’s panic…
The Hill’s warning lede this morning:
“Previous infection used to protect against delta and how with omicron it doesn’t seem to be the case.”
You can get COVID (omicron version) even if you’ve had COVID. PANIC! Wait… Isn’t that the case, with every variant? A bit like flu.
Well, yeah – but it’s more transmissible! PANIC!
OK, so I read the entire article. It doesn’t mention that South African doctors report mild symptoms and, I didn’t read a word about any increase in deaths or hospitalizations. It sounds like, if you’re gonna get COVID, maybe this is the variant you want?
Thank you, God! You monster! It’s named OMICRON! PANIC!
I’m not suggesting that omicron won’t melt your face off. It might. It’s possible that I will be vaporized by meteorite today. However, omicron appears more likely to provide me with the chills and natural immunity. I’m sick of the panic porn. The new panic version is similar to the original panic, but with a scarier name. Although I may not be completely immune to the symptoms, I do have some mild signs. Some of these symptoms are eyerolling and an urge to wear a cotton-mask.
