Assuming that the protection of a previous infection is approximately equivalent to vaccination, then the GP’s question is spot on - after Omicron burns it’s way through the population, we will effectively be at “full vaccination”. At that point, what are we trying to contain?

- mrguyorama 5y agoThe question is how effectively recovering from omicron prevents a future omicron infection. If it prevents it then great, the problem solves itself, but if you can still pretty easily catch another round of omicron then basically this is just our life now, and eventually people will give up on any mitigation efforts and covid will just keep killing people. Right now we are dealing with the fact that omicron hits hard, and fills hospitals. Here in Maine we did okay through previous waves, so we have plenty of people with no "natural" exposure to covid. Our hospitals are pretty much over capacity. So what happens if you get into a car crash and need medical attention if there's no room for you? It's somewhat unanswered. Either option, thousands more will die and everything will be open in a year or two.
