What I want to know is, how virulent is it. The virus as it mutates usually becomes weaker. Seems like the case with omicron if you read the link a few posts above. I am not sure they really know yet. The numbers in S Africa hit 18K on Nov 23rd. We will see where the deaths head. Link to comment

nic Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Less concerned about Omicron the more I read. 13 soccer players from Portugal all asymptotic. One went to South Africa. I bet we know in a couple of weeks if this is going to be worse than Delta or less severe. https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/covid-variant-omicron-11-29-21/index.html Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 This virus, like all other viruses, is going to mutate. We need to be learning how to live with it knowing people are going to get it. Lot's of people are going to believe the BS and not get vaccinated. We can not continually shut down parts of the economy and life because of this. 2 Link to comment

I don't see another full shut down. But, even less of a shut down is painful for segments of the economy. The travel bans are a major problem themselves. Link to comment
