The TSA expects 30 million passengers to travel nationwide between now and January 3rd. As Americans rush to the airport, experts warn that travel isn’t safe for the unvaccinated and those without boosters as the omicron variants spreads.

Concerned, but they haven’t shut down the airlines
Follow the money
I really wish they do. I want to stop my in-laws from coming home 😂
@Priyanka K 🤣🤣
😄 Obviously no one is concerned about Omicron! This variant is weak and will leave you with antibodies stronger than any vaccine.
soundwave: decepticons mobilized………it is time. lol
And Now Let The Surge Begin🤦
Flying ✈ is the ONLY way to get to places FAST…trains 🚂 and cars 🚘do not cut it….sorry liberal tree huggers..
Americans will NEVER STOP Flying..
Trump was Americas GREATEST President.🌟🌟🌟🇺🇸🌟🌟🌟and maybe Almighty GOD..🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸….🕇🕇🕇..
He should be on Mount Rushmore next to Lincoln…Anyone with a brain knows Trump EASILY won the 2020 Election on election night…Biden and Harris are possibly the WORST President and VP in American History..Trump is Americas SAVIOUR…🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.
So out of the tens of thousands traveling through any one airport, what percentage of them will be infected? How many will be hospitalized? How many will die? Another holiday, another surge. I don’t plan on leaving my little sphere any how.
Good stay home, don’t leave and double mask up and boost up to 4x. Leave the rest alone!
It’ll be months before deaths start to mount.
@Steve Are you serious…? In some areas, the “vaxxxxed” and “boooosted” account for 80% of total cases. Yet your rationalization is to take MORE? For a virus they are now saying you could easily mistake for a common cold? What delusional planet are you living on?
@Jeff Lang It was a joke. My jab comments are getting deleted. Just an FYI I posted about all the side effects from jab and it got removed. Its a long list.
“Masks do little to nothing to protect you.” *Next day…* 😷🦠🦠🦠 Titanic will never sink! “Not even God can sink the Titanic.” *Next day…* 💦💦💦🚢 Have we learned anything at all in the past 3,000 years?
Be scared be very Scared… It’s NEVER going to end
No one is scared. Stupid of you to use that word
Europe admits Omicron was found IN EUROPE BEFORE AFRICA. So why was South Africa blamed for sounding the alarm?
Europe admits Covid19 was found IN EUROPE BEFORE CHINA. So why was China blamed for sounding the alarm?
Covid deaths = Managed pandemic China 4,636 & New Zealand 49 Mismanaged pandemic US 827,633.
Covid originated at Fort Detrick, Maryland and Spanish flu in Haskell County, Kansas. SO WHY DID AMERICA NOT SOUND THE ALARM ?
The USA, where you used to be able to own people but now suddenly wearing a mask is having your freedom taken away. H.Franklin
US parents protest at school meetings about? A: 185 school shootings in 10 years B: Masks.
Typical Americans plain and SIMPLE. Covid deaths: US 827,633 New Zealand 49.
WE LIVE IN A GENERATION WHERE TEASING AND LAUGHING AT AMERICANS IS THE NORM.
Mandate the jab and mandate a new nationwide lockdown.
A lot of these people are going to get sick. Sad. Shut it all down.
Phillips stay home, 4x boost, double mask and stay off the internet. Thank you
@Steve WooHoo! Yes! Well Said. 🙄
@Steve and also shut the windows tight and block air drafts. Turn off the electricity and use woods for heating. Turn off your phones. Pretend it’s 3000 BC.
a Pandemic of the VACCINATED
america’s need to have fun continues to cost lives.
You have to be vaccinated to fly or don’t you believe your vaccines work?
They all crazy
If this is Really a Pandemic and all its Variants… WHY ARE THE HOMELESS UNAFFECTED??? Why are there not Bodies Stacked down Skid Row? No mask, NO social distancing, NO washing hands, NO Vaccine (all of 2020) , and NO Proper Hygiene. The only time there was High Level of Fatalities is when Democrat governors SHOVED Covid Positive patients into Nursing homes and when Hospitals got PAID to List Covid as Cause of Death on every Death Certificate even if you died in a plane crash…. WAKE UP TO THE AGENDA…
Yes, the virus will wait til the holiday is over and then attack us !😧😈
So what if they do holiday travelling. Do you expect them to not see their families and to enjoy Christmas without them?
@Flying Dutchman my grandma died of covid she didnt get dumb shot nor hardly any of my family members got the shot including me i dont concent on getting it we will all be at war next year with russia and china all yall be worried about is covid and omicron good luck
Yes
Yes. My extended family doesn’t live in the US and most of my life I’ve spent Christmas without them. It’s normal. If I’ve done it my whole life you can do it for a couple years.
Grow up. Just grow up.
Yes
Obviously your endless propaganda doesn’t scare them and it shouldnt,🤣🤣🤣🤡
Seriously just stop letting business owners speak to Congress. They’re all idiots.
The reason they’re so packed at the airports is because people couldn’t travel last year because we didn’t have a vaccine just yet and so they’re wanting to make up for last year!
Stupid is as stupid does
450,000 Come on people 🙄 there’s something else going on about all that… Our government and the Mexican government has something going on… it’s a little to fishy 🐟 the Government doesn’t just hand out something so extreme like that unless they are getting something out of it in return… The press needs to do there job and start asking the right Questions ✅
Surge in Covid because of holiday travelers to selfish to stay home.
Vaccinated and Boosted doesn’t mean a thing. These people are arrogant thinking they have some physical force field injected into their system.
NOT!
The media just doesn’t get it. People are done with Covid in the majority of the country. And before someone replies “ Covid isn’t done with us “ that may be true, but most have learned to live with it in the background. People ( in the media) need to get out of dc/ ny/ la bubbles.
Shoot down all the airplanes in the sky now ! Otherwise we’re in great danger !
No matter what we’re going to die one day !
Vaccinated or not — people still get and transmit Covid. So get off our backs with this crap!
Stupid zombies shut down everything again🤣🤣
You can blame this on Fauci the so-called witch doctor he is giving so much mystery information people don’t care anymore FACT !!!!!!!!
People just couldn’t careless anymore. They want to travel and feel free again. COVID-19 is not going to stop them. They are willing to take COVID-19 face on.
Then they are willing to die as well. Hope they have a great flight.
Yep. Covid likes this plan very much. May the odds ever be in their favor. Live life, move forward; the survivors will get through this just fine.
Nobody cares. Shut it up already.
Fear mongering NBC… You should be ashamed of your fear, sensationalism and fake news,,,
https://youtu.be/vscFCwNL3tE
https://youtu.be/xsfHYlC9fbs
This is bad for climate change and also for the spread of covid.
Traveling us not an option unless vaccinated 🙏🙏🙏😷😷💉💉
If you are not vaccinated you want omicron the antibodies will protect you from delta.
January will be the month with the highest rate of infection recorded for the United States.
Get vaccinated.
LMAO. Into that long good night, fools.
all those unvaccinated people bringing variants on planes
Covid-19 has been out long enough people are not afraid of it people are more afraid of the human lifespan.
Pandemic or prejudice?
https://youtu.be/i9pVHVv9fvE
This is the biggest threat. Airports transport virus transmission ability, this is a breach of contamination airborne virus 🦠. Infectious disease has caused by travelers.
This omicron is a South Africa variant. It has many other virus combinations animal viruses 🦠 that you people don’t even know had existence. Over 50 cells combine together and now dominant to delta. This is a animal virus that jumped, its rare that animal virus jumping to human genetic. It will hit and infect human like how animal get sick.
Nobody looks all that concerned to me
Travel enjoy you’re life don’t let the government mandate our way of life.
RESISTENCIA para NO perder la LIBERTAD….
This is completely crazy. Why cant people just stay home… You’re going to end up giving your family the Virus.
Crazy people! Your going to end up killing thousands….just Insane! Wtf is wrong with people s common sense?
WOW …people complaining about staying home for 1 year…blah blah blah…a year is a spec when it comes to a pandemic…stop complaining and be smart and get vaccinated
*I not only want my personal space I demand it and that’s exactly why I now only bath once a month. I promise you that as of today no one has challenged me yet*
We had 23 people at my work all test positive. All vaccinated. So masks and shots don’t stop anything, it may ease the symptoms. But that’s it
That’s supposed to be the purpose of the vaccine but the media spun it around thinking it will help with spread which it doesn’t
Not a single N95 masks…
Get ready for a variant that mutates to defeat our antibodies. It’s the logical step for a virus that has to fight to keep infecting people that have already been infected.
To all my unvaxxed brethren out there: HOLD THE LINE!
Let’s go brother do not comply !!
He miss spoke … REALLY ??? 😡
Funeral industry bonanza in 4 weeks time.
They’re crazy ida left weeks ago so i could avoibd the zoo also hope all planes maintenance is up to power to many people those planes are over working hope the guys are doing the oil changes
Yo I shouldn’t have laughed as hard as I did about the Southwest guy 😂😂😂
Almost like Jim Cramer saying the “unvaxxxed” should be rounded up by the army….and then testing positive despite having three shots.
@Jeff Lang yeah that was funny too
I want to know how much NBC payed Nick Sandman.
Despite the Omicrom threatens to decimate the human race people don’t
want to follow the Covid rules and don’t want to do anything to stop the
spread and the import of the newest variants.c
This is fake news. Vaccines don’t work. It is proven.
Lets go Brandon
In a week or so, these same crowds will be in the ICU. Then dead. There’s gonna be some awesome estate sales…
Kelly😂😂😂😝😝🤣
Be sick on xmas vacation..good job..have fun..
By the Numbers…
Why don’t you setup an active digital clock displaying the infection rate and death rate for covid much like the clock showing the national debt. it could indicate vaccinated vs unvaccinated. Maybe a US map showing the stats for each blue, red and purple state. It may serve as a wakeup call to some. I have had two shots, the booster followed by two Ultra Light with some pizza which I ate at home so I’m set.
We have color coded maps and graphs. Some people just don’t care and are so selfish and emotional based…that they’re going to travel despite the facts.
Wear masks. ❤️
Fully vaccinated. Yea. 🙏
Wrong
Trust scientists not idiots.
Even though hospitals are swamped with the unvaccinated
“Airports Packed With Holiday Travelers Amid Omicron Concerns” thereby motivating us, the people of America, to redouble our efforts to rapidly find out at any given moment, including even while On-Line, who among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e. pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in order to #ConvinceItForward for them to call their doctor and to self-quarantine per CDC guidelines in hopes of stopping this pandemic instead of having more #MourningInAmerica. Thus, we’re hoping for the best while preparing for the worse-case scenario of the Alpha lineage mutations and others like the Omicron, Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota, Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations combining via slip-RNA-replication to form hybrids that render current COVID vaccines/monoclonals/medicines/pills no longer effective.
If the airports are packed there are obviously no omicron concerns. Life is to be lived freely not based off of evil agendas!!
Stay home, your family don’t want to see you, they just pretend
– Rise Up –
https://youtu.be/MAEkc4s4oKQ
Blah blah blah blah
Mass Media is the PUBLIC ENEMY number 1
We can’t stop living every time there is a new variant. We have stop this this mongering! He isn’t wrong about masks Even places with forced mask mandates are having huge outbreaks. They are not a magic shield people!!
GOOD!!!!!! Go out! Live your lives!!!
It’s ok. Only 1% will die of COVID. The rest may require oxygen and dialysis for life.
People think themselves invincible, till they aren’t. What is wrong with staying home? Current problem caused by travelers who were out and about at Thanksgiving.
everybody is a germaphobe now , ” i’m scared of going out , don’t go you could get it.” geez
so many stubborn people.
when another outbreak happens, these dumbasses blame the government for not doing enough 🤣🤣🤣
I think we should leave the non- believers alone. Time will tell. To believe or not to believe! This is the question?
I hate colds I’m not traveling
Wonderful Christmas bonus for body bag manufactureres.
Christmas is not that big of a deal to travel dang these days 😒
Too bad that humans no longer reason and think things through. It’s all a matter of “feeling.” Sadly…
Thank You!!! Happy Holidays!!!
Americans packed in the Airport and so is Omicron!
People want to visit their family, what a shock
OMG 😯 looks like a Trump rally.
People are tired of so many lies.
Is it OHMICRON OR AMICRAN ?
So stupid
And they all cry and blame president if someone dies in the family
0.49 what a joke 😂😂😂
Who cares. Let them die. More room for the rest of us.
u see England government give it up out of control omicron with zero testing! we don’t know England government face omicron failed so fast!
I am happy that the flights are cancelled due to shortage of the staff no one will be able to get back home good luck trying to get a flight back home
Youre seeing the vaccinated being careless, theyll blame the unvaccinated. And youll laugh, upon their return flight.
Hows everyone’s forever colds? You thought you were going to be cured. PSYCHE!!!!
