So, more people got it and built up immunity. You are definitely correct about that. I just couldn’t remember if Delta was on its way down and then Omicron caused the huge rash of infections or if Delta was still really high, and then Omicron hit. 1 Link to comment

I could be miss remembering, but thought the vaccine was protecting good against Delta combines with previous infection was going to have Delta burn out. Meaning Omicron would have been a net negative. But I could very well be misremembering. Those things could have factored into it too. No one can really knows for sure. My opinions are from a culmination what I've read on the subject and work discussions/experiences. I do know that at the hospital I work at we saw a huge decrease in critically ill COVID cases when Omicron began to be the dominant circulating strain. Link to comment
teachercd Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Crazy to think that for kids starting their senior year of HS and/or college, this should be their first "normal" year. Link to comment

I saw one teacher wear one yesterday but that was it. Link to comment

funhusker Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 So not only was a govt agency overseen by the Trump Administration possibly responsible, but Trump also tried to downplay the situation and blame it on everyone else? And he's still the leader of your party. Good to know... 3 Link to comment
