So, was that a long way of saying ‘I don’t know’?

Omicron has spread around the globe in one month.
By your logic, that’s a lot of hacking, spitting and surface licking going on that is somehow new from the usual hacking, spitting and surface licking in previous waves.

Looking like lots of kids going to ER with omicron. That’s may be an unfortunate ‘drag on the economy’. Eff em. They shoulda tried harder in school and made the correct life choices!

No public health mitigation, lazy reliance on a vaccines of waning effectiveness over time. A constant ‘but the other side!’ scapegoating to cover their feckless unwillingness to rise to the occasion.

Omicron may alter the trajectory of the pandemic with its suppressive effects of temporary herd immunity. Maybe not. We got a taste of hyper transmissibility. We got lucky it was moderate in its effects and doesn’t appear to like moving into the lower lung regions.

We ought to pray that another, more dangerous, mutation doesn’t emerge cuz we’ll be in a world of hurt with the current ‘everybody’s on their own’ strategy.
