When I was at the gym yesterday, I was watching CNN as I did cardio and sadly Jim Acosta turned his entire show into 1000% FearPorn, which was extremely sad.
Only made up for by the

of them trying to explain what our VPOTUS really meant.
Low vax and hard hit Omicron countries like SA have seen no discernible uptick in their mortality numbers, and are still well below their (seasonal) daily highs of Covid deaths which occurred at the height of the winter months.
What Jim did hammer home is, that despite all that's happened, NY appears to be wholly and entirely unprepared to test at adequate levels and in a timely fashion. Good thing they're a blue state, otherwise they'd be getting slapped hard right now.
