I'm in NYC, omicron is here too. I think you and I just fundamentally see the world differently, so I'll just cut to the chase of how I see omicron, because I'm sure you see it the exact opposite way. From what I've learned about omicron so far, it A. transmits very fast B. has high immune escape, and C. has a low incidence of severe outcome relative to other variants. To me this sounds like a good thing as far as ending the pandemic goes. We want a highly transmissible, benign variant, agreed?
