I get it that it may infect everyone whether or not they are vaccinated. I also get it that it is by far the most transmittable variant. And what I am saying is that the combination of this scary data plus mild symptoms (if true) will work as a great inoculator that saves rich and poor countries alike. It will effectively become a flu variant. Now why do I think that it is likely or at least possible for O variant to be relatively mild? Because (1) that is the general path of evolution for microbes. And more importantly (2) we have not seen an uptick in mortality rates. Within 2 weeks we will know if people are dying from Omicron or not. My guess is not.

Covid: thanks again for posting that. Comments: She says: < there’s a trade-off between immune escape (or immune corrosion) and transmissibility>. Yet the graph to prove that, looks like a scatter plot to me. With only 6 data points. The theory is reasonable, but the data (so far) does not support it. Case rate in S. Africa going vertical, test positivity spiking, is a bad sign. This is another indication of probable higher R0 value. RantStart. She politely says the U.S. “ genomic surveillance system is suboptimal.” 2 years in, and we are still not doing the basics, to get good data, necessary for rational decision-making. Doesn’t matter, because our leaders aren’t rational, and our population doesn’t trust leaders. RantEnd.
