While the supporters of Washed Up 45 are yelling "Let's go Brandon!" and refusing to wear masks and get vaccinated, the coronavirus infection is spreading and its killing 1,500 people a day.
President Joe Biden is warning state and territorial governors that Americans will die if they don't get vaccinations or wear masks. It has been six weeks since the United States had detected the first case of the omicron variant of the coronavirus. This has exploded faster than many expected.
It is fueled by misinformation, refusal to take precautions and not getting vaccinated.
Republican governors are not willing to follow the CDC guidelines. They are not listening to American doctors and nurses. They are not listening to overworked service workers and managers. They are more concerned about "owning the libs" than saving Amer
The Republican Party is more concerned about winning control of Congress. They rather keep Americans riled up over culture wars instead of protecting their supporters.
With over 850,000 Americans dead from the coronavirus, it is more apparent that Biden's mission to defeat the coronavirus is more difficult than expected.
Since this omicron variant has become more contiguous and the delta strain has become deadlier, it appears it's going to be a mutant strain.
Biden on Monday pledged to ease a shortage of COVID-19 tests as the Omicron variant threatened to overwhelm hospitals and stifle travel plans as it spread across U.S. states this holiday week.
"Seeing how tough it was for some folks to get a test this weekend shows that we have more work to do," Biden said as he joined a call with the administration's COVID-19 response team and state governors. "It's clearly not enough."
Biden said his administration's steps include using the Defense Production Act to boost at-home test manufacturing and making it easier to use the Google search engine to find a nearby testing location.
U.S. and state officials are bracing for a wave of more cases following the Christmas holiday, with hospitalizations ticking up as New Year's loomed.
Rising cases snarled air travel over Christmas weekend, with thousands of flights canceled as flight crews contracted the virus. Curtailed cruises and limited availability of testing crimped other plans as the more transmissible variant took hold.

On Monday, U.S. airlines canceled nearly 1,000 flights, the fourth straight day of cancellations, denting travel-related stocks. read more Still, Wall Street's benchmark S&P 500 stock index was set to end at a record high as strong holiday retail sales offset economic worries. read more
Over the last seven days, the average number of new cases has surged 55% to an average of over 205,000 new infections per day, according to a Reuters tally.
The number of hospitalized COVID patients, a lagging indicator, has risen 3% over the same period. Overall in December, the average number of news cases has risen 143% and hospitalizations climbed 31%.
Biden on Monday warned governors that the spike in cases was likely to overwhelm some hospitals, stretching staff and equipment like ventilators, particularly in areas where fewer people are vaccinated.
He told reporters he would follow guidance from his medical experts on whether to reduce the 10-day recommended quarantine period for Americans who test positive for COVID-19. He declined to say whether he endorses a vaccine mandate for domestic air travel, another step officials have discussed.
"They want to know what we think is going to happen from here," he told reporters afterward as he departed Washington for his home state of Delaware, citing mutual cooperation. The White House separately said Biden told governors the administration would provide any additional resources they need.
Separately on Monday, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top U.S. infectious disease official, urged people to avoid large New Year's gatherings.
While officials say people can safely gather with families if they are vaccinated, larger celebrations are riskier.
"When we are talking about a New Year's Eve party ... I would recommend strongly stay away from that this year. There will be other years to do that, but not this year," Fauci, Biden's chief medical adviser, told CNN.
"We really still need to be extremely careful," he said separately on MSNBC.
Last week, Biden announced reinforcements to bolster hospitals and testing, but some healthcare experts say that effort is too little, too late.
Dr. Peter Hotez, dean of Baylor College of Medicine's National School of Tropical Medicine, said problems were exacerbated by issues such as shortages of testing and healthcare workers.
"You put all those things together into the mix and we have a very dangerous situation coming now in the country in the next couple of weeks," he told MSNBC on Sunday.
If only Americans got vaccinated, we would have been back to normal by July. Alas, they wanna fuck around and now they're going to find out.
Of course, there's folks who are fully vaccinated but end up getting the coronavirus. As with vaccines, nothing is 100%. The vaccines are capable of preventing the coronavirus. At best, it's a 94% prevention rate which means 1 out of 500 could be infected even if they're vaccinated.
President Joe Biden had hopes that Americans would take this shit seriously. Unfortunately, Republicans so fucking eager to return to power will keep Americans fixated on the culture wars. Now vaccinations are part of this culture war.
But those fighting the culture war by not vaccinating, not wearing face mask in public, not following protocols, and deliberately ignoring federal and international rules when traveling are going to be the first casualties of the war.
With this pandemic mostly affecting states where Republican governors are, we may have to return to wearing facial protection and cutting back services to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.
We came so far only to have a bunch of selfish idiots set it back. Just because they hate President Joe Biden.
The Republicans are so devoted to destroying Biden and the country for what....to regain power.
Pathetic.
Death does happen to at least 40% of those who are affected by COVID-19.
If you're not vaccinated, your chances of death increases to 48%.
Healthy people can die from this. Take this seriously. You only have one life!If you need more information, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at cdc.gov.
