Pub. Health experts urge you to stay home. How are you doing NYE?
Leaders and public health experts across the country are urging Americans to scrap their New Year’s Eve plans and stay home for the second year in a row as new cases of the coronavirus spread at a record-setting pace.
The volley of warnings serves as yet another reminder that the pandemic is far from over, with the omicron variant spurring a familiar pattern of cautions and cancellations during a time when many hoped to reclaim a sense of normalcy.
But instead of partying like it’s 2019, officials are asking people to reconsider gatherings and other revelry to fight rising case counts, which on Tuesday hit an all-time high when the seven-day average of new infections topped 266,000.
“Omicron and delta are coming to your party,” Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) said at a news conference this week. “So you need to think twice about how many people will be gathered together, keeping social distancing if you’re at a party. And if you can’t, leave.”

So how are you guys planning on blowing 2021's back out? How are you planning on flipping our "public health experts" and "medical doctors" the bird and ending the year in mad chaotic fashion?
Spoiler!
I'm making beef on weck.

NYE is kind of stupid anyway IMO. Having a few friends over to eat, play virtual golf and some games, have a few drinks. But then after the ball drops they are getting kicked out because I have a long bike ride scheduled Saturday morning.

The police gave him a thumbs up and fired their own pistols into the air in solidarity with my neighbor. Then they ate a bunch of leftover brisket and sped away while loudly listening to the Deftones and splitting lanes with their cruiser.

Never really cared for NYE, I'd rather be asleep and up early the next day when everyone else is sleeping one off. We're going to get together with some family and play a few games, nothing crazy.
Here's to swimmin' with bow-legged women.

Imagine something like the Rona giving someone purpose in life, like tbe OP.
How miserable is his existence?
How much does he despise that this new variant is pretty much a mild cold?
