[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Dr. Anthony Fauci listed eight steps that people should take in their daily lives to address the Omicron variant.

In a Tuesday briefing with the White House's COVID-19 response team, Fauci — the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases — said existing pandemic measures should work against the newly detected variant.

Fauci recommended the following steps to protect against the Omicron variant:

Get vaccinated against COVID-19.

If you're already vaccinated, get a booster shot.

Use masks.

Avoid crowded places.

Gather outdoors when possible.

Socially distance from others.

Get tested.

Isolate from others if you test positive for COVID-19.

1. So the same things that have been suggested for the last year?

4. Booster's less than a year old.

So I think there's at least one new suggestion. That said, I think a steady repetition of best practices is at worst, damned helpful.

7. Give me any and all boosters you got!

2. none of that is new

of groundbreaking/life changing.

I do almost all of that, though I will go to the theater in NYC. Masked and required vaccines. I feel safer doing that than eating in a restaurant, unmasked.

3. And when are rapid tests going to be readily available and affordable

to those of us in the US?

5. Let's Go Through These, One At A Time

Get vaccinated against COVID-19. - 30% Of America Says NOT A CHANCE

If you're already vaccinated, get a booster shot. - See Above, Then Add Another 20-30% Who Don't Want To Get Another Shot

Use masks. - Masks? What About Our FREEDOM??

Avoid crowded places. - Pandemic's Over. Time To Return To Normal Life.

Gather outdoors when possible. - Too Cold. And How Will I Do My Holiday Shopping?

Socially distance from others. - Pandemic's Still Over. Got To Get Back To Normal

Get tested. - Too Much Bother, And I'm Healthy & Immune.

Isolate from others if you test positive for COVID-19. - Nope, Gotta Live My Life, Even If It Means Exposing Others.


Very worthwhile tips by Dr. Fauci, but he's clearly speaking to a different country's population.

8. And all but the first are said all too often on DU.

I'm appalled at how many on DU refuse to do anything beyond vaccination and boosters.
