It seems like the best way to prevent this stain of COVID is to have a recent prior strain. My wife was the only one that didn’t get omicron in the house…lo and behold she’s the only one that got the recent strain in the entire family. We were all exposed to her but never got it. Same applies to many other families I know. Those that missed omicron got this strain.
 
Must be an uptick right now. A coworker of mine tested positive, and so did his mom, dad and sister.
We go on a cruise end of July. about 2 weeks prior, I am buttoning down. The one i am worried about is my daughter, she is working at a daycare for the Summer. It wold suck for her not to be able to go on her own graduation cruise.. lol

Guess what if she gets it, you guys won’t be going either. Happened to us at Christmas. 6 of us had a trip to Mexico all booked together. Mother in law tested positive. They canceled all of us.
 
have had 3 ppl at work in our office with positive tests in the last 2 weeks. they go home 5 days, back masking for 5 days then back to normal afterwards. definitely the most we've had in our office at once since all this mess began.

i wasn't serious about leaving her. if she couldn't go then we'd just reschedule. now my in laws are going (MIL, FIL, 2 SIL), if one of my SIL test positve, her butt is just getting left behind. We all have our seperate accounts, 4 seperate cabins. Heck if my FIL test positive, we'd probabably still go without him. We all have to have negative tests within 48 hours of when we leave.

Yeah we did too. Mother in law was the positive one. But, because we were all part of the traveling party, they said no to all of us. So we trying again in July. We will see. At this point I’m about to just give up
 
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Biden administration will drop pre-departure COVID-19 international air testing requirements effective Sunday at 12:01 a.m. after heavy lobbying from airlines and the travel industry, a senior administration official told Reuters.

The Biden administration will announce on Friday that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will no longer require pre-departure COVID-19 testing for travelers coming to the United States after it determined based on the science and data that this requirement is no longer necessary. CDC will do a reassessment of this decision in 90 days, the official said.

Since December, the CDC has required travelers to test negative within one day before flights to the United States but does not require testing for land border crossings..............

 
So, when does Covid move from pandemic to endemic here in the US? Or does this rest solely with the WHO since they were the one's to declare Covid a pandemic back in March 2020? The only "metric" I've found related to this involves hospitalizations. I don't know that it really matters whether it's pandemic or endemic, just curious about it.

When Will COVID-19 Become Endemic?

As omicron infections wane, some government leaders are optimistic that COVID-19 is becoming endemic, meaning more predictable and manageable. But many scientists say it’s too soon to tell and warn a…

Malaria, which is endemic in dozens of countries, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa, killed more than six hundred thousand people in 2020.

It's still a serious threat.

WHO: COVID origins unclear but lab leak theory needs study

The World Health Organization is recommending in its strongest terms yet that a deeper probe is required into whether a lab accident may be to blame for the COVID-19 pandemic.

How would it play out?

CHINA: Yer dang skippy it leaked out the Wuhan lab! That's right -- I said it! Fight me!

REST OF THE WORLD: ???
 
Time to play everyone's favorite game. I'm either sick, have allergies, or the rona. So far, tested negative.

Wearing a mask around the house either way.
