What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 426 & BENKYO RADIO 426.

I wanted to let you know that cloth masks are simply not enough to fight Omicron. It’s time to upgrade to N95 or KN95 masks. I’ve ordered some, and I plan to order more. Here is an article from NPR about this.

I understand that NYE is coming up, and many of you want to go out and celebrate, just remember that with the Omicron Variant, you are at risk of getting sick.

If you listened to my PSA for Christmas, I thank you very much. Now, here’s my PSA for NYE, please pretty please do NOT accept pills from strangers. Think of yourself and your loved ones. It’s not worth it. There is no point in doing something you might regret on New Year’s Eve, if you do not wake up on January 1st 2022. I thank you for listening. I really miss going to a Dance Music concert, so I need to snag that Razer LED mask and then I’m definitely going. But not until that. It’s just not worth getting sick. Please re-watch the new South Park COVID specials. The majority of the population is tired as hell. Don’t make us live through COVID for the next 40 fucking years. We want the pandemic to last just about 3 years, not forever. Therefore, please get vaccinated, please get boosted. Thank you.

Until Next Time!
