UK also has much better immunization rates than we do and a much lower obesity and chronic disease burden. I wish we were comparing apples to apples but we still have a cross the fingers and hail Mary for Omicron in the U.S.

You have a very good chance at getting Omicron but most likely will have a mild illness. And you certainly will be contagious, very contagious.

This is why twitter completely sucks as a news medium. You can’t qualify his statement such as Omicron has almost completely over taken Delta in most S Africa provinces. It looks to do the same in England. Dr. G needs to think before he throws out his hypotheticals. That’s the kind of conversation you keep among colleagues until the evidence shows it to be the case.

Yeah, bc the kid is only famous bc of his dad. Otherwise this gets no airplay. A spoiled rich brat bitching about gas prices and Joe Biden. First world problem for him. OP needs to throw something at us worthy of getting all frothed in the mouth. I will save my tunic tearing. wailing and gnashing of teeth for a bigger problem.

Why is Walker’s son trying to fill up Joe Biden’s Range Rover with gas? Why is Joe Biden at a random gas station? Why is Walker fighting Joe Biden while filling up Joe Biden’s Range Rover? Or please tell me that Adam P. and his grammar did not graduate from the University of Texas.

Villanova looks slow.

Osterholm has been putting out panic porn quotes since this thing started. He’s been partially right some of the time but I think he has a look at me, I’m a scientist mantra. However he echos what many are saying about the variant’s virulence. Hope they are all right bc we still suck at vaccine coverage.

This team has potential to be top 10. Maybe. Should be definitely below 15 for now. Not that it matters until midway through conference play. The Big 12 is going to be tough. The other teams are beating higher ranked non conference opponents. We need a true big and three point shooting on the road.

In other words, Surly since the second half of the OU game.

These people keep using the word theory. I don't think they know the difference between hypothesis and theory, because there is nothing theoretical about that bullshit.

There is apparently a BA.2 version of Omicron with further genetic variation that gives false negatives on certain PCR tests. Not sure of the specifics. It’s my understanding that some rapid PCR testing is to blame. Possibly due to limited sequencing for specific genetic markers??

Early data shows some protection against Omicron with previous infection but not a lot, vaccination alone seems to be better and previous variant infection and vaccination even better. There are so many variables within individuals as well. Omicron is going to spread very quickly with short doubling times. Cross fingers this doesn't end with serious disease for any percentage of the population. This could be more of an economic disrupter than serious hospital strain if large swaths of our population is at home on quarantine for 10 days at a time (even with mild illness). Outpatient clinics are going to potentially get overwhelmed. There are only preprint in vitro studies for immune protection as well and the media is going to FUBAR the results and get everyone in a panic regardless if needed. Horse is out of the barn now. Best thing to do is get immunized, get boosted if due and stay healthy. Oh, and there is some concern Omicron is mutated enough to avoid certain PCR testing because the genetic markers PCR test for have changed. Rapid testing could be more accurate in some situations. Strange times.

Promising data. And I emphasize early data but it further shows promising mitigation of the virulence of the Omicron variant vs Delta. How this applies to our way obese, unhealthy and largely unvaccinated populations? Not sure but S. Africa's immunization rates suck worse than BFE county Texas. We should know more from S. Africa in the next couple of weeks. Omicron Variant Early Features

Best (whatever iteration of Surly) Christmas story ever. Lulz for sure.

It appears that the pole assassin does not have a good grasp of English grammar.

Did Manu come out of retirement? What is going on here???

It’s kids that got rejected from UT or didn’t make CAP minimum at UTSA. You see, it’s the flagship university’s fault they are not disciplined and/or smart enough to get into UT-Austin. Thus, horns down.

Wrong. It’s less dangerous than prior to vax. I have seen plenty of olds die from Covid post vax. But the numbers are so much less than prior to vaccine.

You obviously haven’t been to the CR.

That’s your fault. Congrats on the click bait thread title then the lack of hubris as you rally the troops. Good gosh, I can’t believe nobody else has thought of your original idea to stop monetarily supporting Longhorn football. Step away from the keyboard internet warrior and go on a nature walk or punch a pillow.

Poor baby. Show us on the doll with Coach Steve touched you.

99% of UT fans do not read this message board. Save your energy. Natural attrition of money and recruits will turn this program into Nebraska football with a better location.

Dual or triple fuel generators for the win??
