And then in another few weeks we'll have another new strain. Wash, rinse, repeat. This is the nature of viruses. :coffee:

You remind me that it's such a wonderful thing to love.

From ~12% of cases one week to 73% the next. We hate a hard working icon that constantly reinvents herself despite everyone wanting her to f*ck off :vegas:

Vaccines, notably the boosters, are showing strong protection though so it's not like much will change for people who are responsible and get their shots...unless they need a hospital bed for anything non-covid related in the next, idk, two-ish years :yennefer:

It's just wild how this one is mutating to be more and more contagious with every variant but the lethality isn't really dropping as much as we'd like.

Combine that with millions of Q's, MAGAs, and other general deplorables and it's a disaster in motion :rip:

I have to say, as much as I miss my grandpa, it is honestly a bit of a relief to no longer have to directly deal with congested hospitals, closed ERs, limited medications, etc. I feel for anyone who's being hurt by others' ignorance and selfishness :noparty: I was there for over a year, it's not fun.

really praying omicron is less severe but the data is still unsure, if it can amp up it’s transmissibility so much to spread why can’t it greatly ease its severity so that it is really like a cold for everyone, so annoying that doesn’t appear to be the case yet

Apparently Omicron resembles HIV in some its characteristics, imagine a future collab between the two, it'll be the end of us :bradley:

That's absolutely not true.  They think it could of originated in someone with unchecked HIV because the body couldn't fight off covid very well, giving it chance to heavily mutate. But it in no way resembles HIV
