We've had the lagged death rates from Omicron in South Africa over a week ago. It's apparent that Omicron is the most contagious, least deadly variant and it cuts through vaccinations. Vaccinations and boosters are preventing severe hospitalizations but not strong enough to confer herd immunity. Omicron has also shown how previous infection natural immunity confers a broader protection in this case.

Everyone is getting Omicron, we'll mostly be ok, the pandemic will be over, welcome to another influenza like virus.
