    You sound angry. Did you even read the initial report or did you take Western Journal's commentary article's word for it?

    More than 3,000 flights canceled worldwide as airlines cite COVID-19 staffing issues | TheHill

    More than 3,000 flights canceled worldwide as airlines cite COVID-19 staffing issues

    "The nationwide spike in Omicron cases this week has had a direct impact on our flight crews and the people who run our operation," United said in a statement.

    "As a result, we’ve unfortunately had to cancel some flights and are notifying impacted customers in advance of them coming to the airport. We’re sorry for the disruption and are working hard to rebook as many people as possible and get them on their way for the holidays,” United added.

    Delta said Thursday it has "exhausted all options and resources - including rerouting and substitutions of aircraft and crews to cover scheduled flying - before canceling around 90 flights for Friday."

    He also warned that that Christmas travel would increase the spread of the variant even among the fully vaccinated, the BBC reported.

    David Powell, physician and medical adviser to the International Air Transport Association, a group representing nearly 300 airlines, said in a new interview that aircraft passengers are two or three times more likely to be infected with COVID-19 on a flight since the emergence of the omicron variant.

    I forgot how immature and how easily some of our local leftist youngsters get offended, then resort to name calling

    i recall somebody here a while back posting an ER nurse who had an important anti vax message. I watched a few minutes and she was basically reciting what she heard on Joe Rogan. I guess what she learned in school and on the job doesn’t quite rank with what she hears from her favorite podcast.

    I went old school and logged onto my desktop to read it. Actually think its funny. Not sure how that can be viewed as racist or political.

    Whole food plant based diet. Low or no oil. With some salt. Especially natural salt. Minimize or no processed things like the fake meats and cheeses that are loaded with oils.

    Evusheld to prevent Covid-19: There won't be nearly enough for Americans who are eligible - CNN

    "For Americans who suffer from weak immune systems, it felt like a miracle occurred on December 8. That day, the US Food and Drug Administration authorized a drug to help keep immune-compromised people from getting infected with the coronavirus.

    But that joy quickly turned to despair as patients learned the government has only contracted for enough doses for less than one-tenth the number of people who are eligible for it.
    The first batch of the drug, called Evusheld, shipped out on Monday, according to a spokesperson for the US Department of Health and Human Services. Dr. Camille Kotton, an infectious disease expert at Mass General Brigham, said her medical system expects to receive in this shipment only doses to treat fewer than 1% of its thousands of immune-compromised patients."

    My doctor had mentioned this but with my risk profile being lower than others in the practice (my system is way better than organ transplant recipients for example or those on current high dose chemo/radiation) I won't be getting this.

    Deeper in the article btw it says that there are more doses available just that the government didn't buy them.

    The rule has nothing to do with racism. You brought that up on your own.

    Well since my avatar isn't political, I knew that would be your next response, you're so predictable.
