Christmas Holiday Travel Plans Altered By Omicron Variant

Let’s go Brandon! I agree!
This is why it is important for the US to invest in high speed rail. You should be able to take a bullet train from Atl to NY or Chicago to NY in 4 or less hours. We never think about what if in this country. You can have a pandemic at the same time as you could have a weather or military emergency where people need to evacuate a major city and if airlines aren't even operating it creates a huge challenge. We need to enhance high speed rail in this country. The government can partner with Tesla and other companies to get people to cities in lightening speed.
Scare tactics to get u booster shots. Scam
I am happy that the flights are cancelled due to shortage of the staff no one believes the virus is totally real and people are lining up to get tested and drive thru shot
Thank God to show us this
Not virus. Dipshits firing people over lies.
Was thinking the omicron was a weak strain?
Fortunately the canceled flights means lower costs and fuel expenses. Rebooking flights at a later time is one remedy or a refund of ticket price in full. Air Crew shortages determine the schedule. A safety net for airline employees is essential. This community needs funding and recruiting. These flight and ground crews are essential service as a reserve to airlift command.
Just let this people die 😆😂
Covid cases NOT covid deaths.
Why on earth would anyone travel during Christmas at this time during a pandemic
Hhhhhhhh 🔒🤸🔒https://youtu.be/TixFValnGYo
What happened? passengers infected Omicon Virus than Covid-19. How can you have two viruses?
Wait… wait…Wait… wait…Wait… wait…Wait… wait…Wait… wait… Are you saying we should not merge two viruses together? the Omicron and Covid-19. What happens if you mix them two? what is it?!?
Party mode on
they sure LOVE ruining xmas and closing down churches!!! coincidence?!?!?!?! 😈
Scamicron
Imagine them using a corrupt test that gives a 97% false positive to claim people are sick. Imagine flights canceled over the mere common cold and because of this false test.
Now imagine a stupid population allowing them to get away with this.
What’s the hub bub about? If you have no symptoms of covid why are you getting tested? It’s not mandatory to fly domestic to have a covid test….yet…and if your not sick I don’t get it. And forgive me but isn’t this new one mild anyways? Bunch of mixed messages.
Hahahahaha!
Healthcare workers should quit in protest!
Pump that fear!
Merry Christmas everyone be safe,and dont let the grinches (media cdc fauci and who) ruin it for you
First of all the MRNA is not a vaccine. So it can't save you from corona virus. Secondly covid is nowhere near as dangerous as their making it sound.
Covid False Positive Tests = Fascism to trick masses into feeling they got covid19 to feel bad about themselves to take poison jabs that actually spread covid19!
Natural Immunity humans who do not fall for taking false positive tests and taking jabs are the ONLY healthy humans on Earth 🙄🙄🙄
Omicron is a good thing. Its very mild like a cold and increases herd immunity but Lefties wanna scare the crap out of you and thats partly because their vaccines arent preventing infection. Never mind severity, it does not work!
Ironically, the major commercial airlines, which were awarded $54 Billion of U.S. Taxpayers' dollars, are importing & exporting viruses.
These alleged "bailouts" were passed by the Senate in record time. All this whilst airlines were giving massive payouts to shareholders — even before the pandemic. Why is any of this acceptable??
It seems to be COVID versus every other aspect of our wellbeing at the moment including physical, social & mental health. Finding this balance is a struggle at the moment. What is the answer?
#ConvinceItForward
We’re boosted, masked when out in crowded outdoor and indoor spaces, gathered in celebration with our family members this holiday season, doing our part in not harming other more vulnerable individuals, and definitely not adding to the load of overwhelmed medical staff. Thank you Dr Fauci and President Biden
I swear people just have a needle phobia… SMH
my self and my lovely husband was able to eliminate our deadly virus hiv with the help of Dr ajakaja may God continue to protect you
