And by the time the hospital capacity is maxed out, you are a few weeks late as far as taking precautions... And of course reports of ICUs filling up will be so much more fake news and all caused by staffing shortages that were caused by requiring staff to get vaccinated... Ground Hog day, take 851. |

Apparently if you got J&J, you have little to no protection against the Omicron

Little to no antibody resistance, he should have said. It still helps in other ways, though.

I'm not sure I'd be confident calling this variant milder yet.

According to this, the idea omicron is milder is a myth (as in "unproven", not false). He explains how the SA data may be skewed and not telling the whole story. The general public already seems to be taking the "omicron is milder" message at face value and that relaxed attitude may come back and bite us in the ass.
I guess we'll see. |

This is going to, and probably already is spreading like wildfire. Going to be a rough few months.

This is essentially a brush-fire. It'll burn hot and fast through undergrowth with no real long-term damage done. In the end it'll probably be a net benefit if it just serves to continue cycling antibodies through the population. This is just another step forward in thing thing turning into a common cold. The usual suspects just need their fear porn. |
