Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) declared Thursday that real America is done with COVID-19 a day after the first case of the new omicron variant was found in the U.S. and as coronavirus infections rise around the country, including in his own state.

Real America is done with #COVID19, Jordan tweeted , ignoring data, experts and reality. The only people who dont understand that are Fauci and Biden.

He is referring to, of course, Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and President Joe Biden. Both have renewed their urgent calls for Americans to get fully vaccinated and get to booster shots to avoid potentially getting seriously ill or dying from contracting the virus.

The World Health Organization has warned that the omicron variant, which has been found in 24 countries so far, poses a very high global risk because of the possibility that it spreads more easily. It also may resist vaccines and immunity in people who have been infected with previous strains.
