I’m saddened by Betty White’s passing. Her death marks the end of an era. Fitting it on the last day of 2021.

But gracefully, she bowed out when we were distracted with year end celebrations.

It’s difficult to let go of such a treasured human being. Kind, beautiful, loving, pleasant and often self effacing. On the surface she seemed like the typical 50’s housewife. All smiles. No problems. Everything was pleasant.

But she was a trailblazer. She just didn’t make it obvious. She was the first woman of television. Brought black artists on her own tv talk show in the 1950’s and got cancelled for it. Betty White was no pushover. She was a formidable woman.

She dominated television throughout her career. She could swear better than Ryan Reynolds. Was wittier than Robin Williams. Easy going and kind, but an inner strength like no other.

She was a woman to be admired.

That era is over sadly. She was the last of her kind. Women whose power came from within when there were no human rights or freedoms guaranteed.

An inner strength I wish I possessed. But alas, I’m not made of the same grit and string will Betty White was.

She was a wonder and a treasure, working well into her 90’s. Many comment on her work ethic. But Betty White enjoyed people so much, it could hardly be called work. It was fun and exciting.

We lost a good soul. A great soul. And she passed with little notice.

She was old. 99 to be exact. Almost 100.

What I don’t see anyone asking was what the cause of her death was. Was it omicron Covid?

There is some mention of declining health, but she was preparing for a big celebration of her 100th birthday in a few weeks. Sending out Twitter notice a few days before her death. Who does that if they are unwell?

I believe Betty White may have died from omicron Covid. At 99 years, she was at very high risk of death if she contracted the virus.

There was no cause of death released. But there was also a huge build up to her birthday, mere days after NYE.

That wouldn’t have occurred if she were very frail or in failing health. It would have put her life in danger from the stress to perform.

So it was sudden and unexpected. There iss a high likelihood it was natural causes.

But a woman of her age is also very likely to die after severe complications of Covid set in.

Omicron is far more serious than public health officials are letting on.

I’ve read some of the CDC research and transmission is expected to be astronomical by end of January.

Deaths from omicron are expected to surge by January 15, 2022. That’s two weeks from now.

The reduction of quarantine from 10-5 days doesn’t make sense. Huge numbers of people are expected to die. The US predicts over 1M dead by end of January (~150K more from current totals).

Has the Great Barrington strategy been adopted to get the carnage over and done with sooner?

I think it may have been. If healthcare workers are gone for 10 days or more, there won’t be enough medical treatment for the numbers of infected people.

Medical professionals are being told to put their own health at risk to continue caring for severely ill patients. Many of whom have no protection or waning immunity without the booster.

Omicron is so contagious it’s expected to spread very quickly. Especially because of Xmas.

I remember watching a video of an Australian woman sitting outside a retail store that an unmasked Covid carrier walked past on his way into the store. She caught Covid. And people were scared into wearing their masks. At the time, masks were uncommon in Australia.

Omicron is so contagious that even if carrier and the uninflected are wearing masks there is a high likelihood that the disease will be transmitted just by walking past one another. It’s that contagious and very little airborne particles are required to contract it.

The CDC and apparently every government responsible for imposing mandates has decided to let the virus spread and deal with the consequences rather than shut down the economy. Lives will be lost. The most vulnerable mortality rates will be high.

Betty White was high risk.

Was she merely a CDC statistic and made an expendable human being due to her age and high vulnerability.

I don’t know. But the longer the reason for her death is withheld, the more suspect I become.

Yes we lost a good soul. But why? What happened that she passed so suddenly while planning large celebrations? Had she died of natural causes, wouldn’t that be known by now? I think it would. I guess we will find out on Tuesday January 4, 2022. Considering it’s a holiday weekend.
