Crazy how fast Omicron has overtaken Delta. It's pretty likely that Delta will be a tiny sliver of cases in a couple weeks.

"Conclusions Vaccination with mRNA-1273 was associated with a significantly increased risk of myocarditis or myopericarditis in the Danish population, primarily driven by an increased risk among individuals aged 12-39 years, while BNT162b2 vaccination was only associated with a significantly increased risk among women. However, the absolute rate of myocarditis or myopericarditis after SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination was low, even in younger age groups. The benefits of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination should be taken into account when interpreting these findings. Larger multinational studies are needed to further investigate the risks of myocarditis or myopericarditis after vaccination within smaller subgroups." |

Certainly hope so. That article suggests that the best-case scenario probably still results in at least small bumps in hospitalizations and deaths in the short term since it spreads so damn fast, but I guess the hope is that it burns through quickly and then we're largely done with it.

My inner circle is going through it now, positives galore - we have now passed through the negative side - but my wife’s parents are in the middle of it.
No hospitalizations / no deaths in my family thankfully. Unvaxxed, Vaxxed and Boosted in my fam. Didn’t matter. Positives happened anyway. |

My stepdad's doc told us that his staff have been receiving death threats daily since summer, and have had to have escorts out of their building and to their cars after a nurse was followed to her car and assaulted. And that's in ICU - I can't even imagine how nuts it is in the main part of the hospital's COVID wing. |

So yes, hopefully going forward any future variations/infections are flu like at worse. But a worst-case scenario is a future mutation that bucks the trend and is more lethal. |
