Damn it, damn it, damn it. I hate it when I'm right about bad stuff.

In what seems like a decade ago (2020), I said if we didn't stamp out COVID right quick, we'd be living with it forever.

I wasn't wrong.

Omicron is the newest COVID variant. It's spreading rapidly. It started in South Africa and is already in North America. Go Canada!

Here's what you need to know about it.

In other news, apparently shooting people is the thing to do over Thanksgiving weekend here in the US of A. Even a little kid shot and killed his cousin.

Thanksgiving Shooting Sees 3-Year-Old Firing Gun, Fatally Hitting 5-Year-Old Cousin

A 3-year-old toddler fatally shot a 5-year-old cousin on Thanksgiving in Georgia after using a handgun that belonged to the toddler's father, according to the police.

The South Fulton police said that the five-year-old girl Khalis Eberhart died after being shot in the chest at The Gardens at Camp Creek Apartment Houses, according to WXIA-TV. She was later taken to the hospital where she died.

Authorities are still investigating the incident, but family members said that the shooting was accidental, according to the news outlet.

No details were revealed about the events leading up to the incident or how the gun was accessed before it killed the girl.

Sad times.
