Yes, we all love scary stories and fear and big numbers. It makes for good headlines.
But the part that has been swept under the rug.... That Omicron is not a death sentence, especially if youve been vaccinated. In fact, some scientists are now finding statistical relationship between Omicron and death. And, there is a possibility that having Omicron can help fight off the more dangerous Delta variant.
These are all things that would get you banned from social media and outcast from society if you said them before, but we are turning the corner. There was big headlines when 1 person died with Omicron, and I could be wrong, but the number of deaths from Omicron is still 1. Which is the same as in places such as the UK and Australia, each have headlines about their 1st Omicron death.
But the biggest thing that should be noted is the relaxation of quarantine guidance.... And the reasoning. When they admit that quarantining will cause too many people to miss work, and it's not worth it. That should be a big tell about how dangerous it is.
