There is no one and I mean no one who wants to see this A-whole brought to justice more than I but I do understand that it's a very complicated situation, legally speaking. You better make sure you have your ducks lined up properly before you bring charges, especially after the whole Mueller investigation fiasco, you can't have that happen again. Also, someone made a good point on TV the other day, where they were talking about how it would be almost impossible to find a jury without at least one jurist sympathetic to Trump. Of course, you have other reasons to be careful, like his crazy followers, the potential politics involved, etc...

Yes I do smoke but I don’t deal with seizures or convulsions.

And generally I still feel mild stomach nausea like I got pumped with sewer water. Or that might be from being a Knicks fan .


First, maybe you should check into an urgent care center or email your PRC with you symptoms. Do you have a temperature? Can you taste and smell?

While omicron doesn't go deep into the lungs like delta did, I read that it does get into the stomach. Check that out. One shot is not enough to protect you from omicron. You need to be boosted to protect yourself from omicron like the two shots protected people from delta. That's how it works.

I'm boosted (3 shots) until June 2022. Anytime I'm indoors for food shopping or whatever, I'm KN95 masked, and I'm in and out. Never hanging around. Oh ... and I'm cannabis protected on top of all that. 8-)


My forehead feels hot but yes I can taste and smell .


I read that Omnicron affects an individual's ability to rate NBA centers.
Might want to get checked out! :D

Since Wingo was about 33 years old during the time of Watergate break in etc, you'd think he'd have a decent memory of the amount of time it took to investigate and start prosecuting. 2.5 years.

Then again, he was probably too busy doing yards of blow through his 70's style pornstache and boogieing down to new dance groove of Dr Hook & The Medicine Show.

Anyhow for some good news:

Average number of COVID cases per day is 802,000, in case you thought things were slowing down. That's contributed to an all-time record of 156,000 people hospitalized in the U.S. right now.

What is the death rate? Had that dropped or is that at all time highs too?

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/01/09/us/omicron-cities-cases-hospitals.html

In New York City, Boston and Chicago — cities with some of the country’s earliest Omicron surges — deaths have followed cases at a slightly reduced scale than in previous peaks. But because of the extraordinarily high case count, even a proportionally lower death toll from the current case curve in the United States could be devastating.

I like everything.

NRPS, Old & In The Way, Flatt & Scruggs, Earl Monroe, Doc Watson and so on.

Dr Hook - I don't specifically like them, but I admired their commitment to partying and living the musician life, dedicated to "a good time". Plus the whole Shel Silverstein connection.

Deaths Among Male Teens Increased by 53% Following COVID-19 Vaccination in 2021 and the Death Spikes Correlate Perfectly with the Uptake of Dose 1, 2 & 3

An investigation of Office for National Statistics data has revealed that since the Covid-19 vaccine began to be rolled-out to teenagers there has been a 53% rise in the number of deaths due to all-causes among males aged 15-19, and each spike in deaths correlates perfectly with a spike in administration of the first, second, and third doses of the Covid-19 injection to this age group.

Further investigation has also found that whilst Covid-19 deaths remained low among this age group following Covid-19 vaccination, they were still considerably higher than the negligible amount of deaths that had occurred before the Covid-19 vaccination was introduced.

Suggesting Covid-19 vaccination may have in fact had a negative effect on the immune systems of the teenage boys, or deaths may have been misattributed as Covid-19 deaths, as has been so easily done since March 2020, to cover up the fact that the Covid-19 injections may have played a roll in the deaths.

The above graph has been plotted from data found within the 2020 edition of ‘Deaths registered weekly in England and Wales’, which can be downloaded here, and accessed on the ONS website here, and the 2021 edition of ‘Deaths registered weekly in England and Wales, which can be downloaded here, and accessed on the ONS website here.


I glossed over the article. Then heard that this site is the equivalent of info wars according to some. The article was interesting though.

I read it even though I knew it was BS, but you know it’s bad when the author points out their own fallacious reasoning for their conclusion and then tries to tell you rebuttals to argue against people when they point out the flaws in their logic that they are well aware exist, whatever correlation they’re trying to show is not proof the vaccine is harming anybody they have absolutely no proof of this and if they did they wouldn’t have to rely on fallacious reasoning!

Yeah...it was like reading people on here using stats as the end all be all in any conversation. Causation vs correlation etc. It was interesting watching it unfold though. That's what made me check the source...which I didn't waste much more of my time doing.

I hope the vaccines are safe long term. That's all I can say. I hope I never get Covid(if I didn't already) and...I can't wait for this to calm down...if it ever does.

We put our faith in the hands of the best doctors and scientists in world. Science has never been so advanced. I see this as a pretty easy decision. And if/when they tell me to take a 4th, 5th, and or 6th inoculations, I’ll follow their recommendations and get them.

You can put your faith in whoever hands you want to. That's all good. I trust medicine and science too but... I'll reserve my faith for proven results. I'm not signing up for yearly shots for anything. I'll follow mandates for masks with no problem. I'm not gonna be first in line to start pumping **** in my veins unless I'm at a party! :lol: Seriously though...can you call your guy for me or what? DOH. I'm gonna wait and see how many more variants and how many new vaccines come out as things progress. So far I'm up to date on my shots. Let's see where this goes.
