If in fact Omicron takes over from Covis19 and Delta like it has in South Africa we should see cases go way up and deaths go way down

Just a thought

deaths have been going way down and would've kept going way down regardless of omicron imo. this thing already ripped through and killed the most vulnerable to it, we actually have widely available testing for early detection, effective vaccines and effective treatments to manage illness and prevent death. 

when it was brand new there was no way to detect it early to start preventive care, there were no vaccines, and there were no treatments. we got all that now- plus it's already ripped through and killed the most vulnerable- so- yeah deaths were bound to go way down.

current deaths are about 8,000 a week

by way down I mean like 100 a week

Gen Z Is Done With the Pandemic

Though the specter of a new variant hangs over the holidays, young people have no plans to lock themselves down again.

CD was asking how the media had over-hyped Omicron, and here's just one example among hundreds or even thousands.  So far, the actual data are telling us Omicron isn't particularly dangerous, quite possibly LESS dangerous than the Delta variant we've had around for 6-8 months, and yet the mediots at The Atlantic insist on shock-based headlines with loaded words like "specter of a new variant." 

That's precisely why so many are vexed about this ongoing fear-porn delivery of Covid news.

you just have to use a bullshit filter

Mine is pretty good

its been in development a very long time

Mmmm, a good broad spectrum BS filter would do as all some good.

Just glad I don’t have to be in one of the 9 states requiring masking indoors for even those fully vaccinated. 

I'm just curious how they would even go about enforcing that.Prolly many of the places where PDs were defunded
