Omicron is not Delta and it certainly not the original strain. This makes no sense to me, why?

The area affected is infinitesimal compared to the total area of the sea floor. This is hardly an issue to get worked up about.

A rule of thumb, whatever you expect to make as an income, charge your customers at least double that per hour. Then you can spend up to half your time finding new business and still break even.
