Whilst true we have the vaccines now and did not then so that has at least created an exit strategy. Even IF Omicron evades the current ones enough to create big problems we will have a defence against it to adminster in the Spring probably.With Delta? I think it was.

Any new variant will have to go some to outpace Omicron it seems. We might be grateful it was what it was in a few weeks time if its less deadly nature and virtually unsurpassable infectivity proves true. It is our best hope really as a never ending stream of more and more severe variants would be very bad news. We could do with one dominating indefinitely that has the least possible impact on humanity. None of them will have no impact.

New modelling from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) used experimental data to look at how Omicron may transmit as the country heads into 2022.
It suggests that Omicron could potentially cause more cases and hospitalisations in England than during the wave in January 2021, if additional control measures are not taken.
Under the best-case scenario, the variant could lead to a peak of more than 2,000 daily hospital admissions, with 175,000 hospitalisations and 24,700 deaths between 1 December 2021 and 30 April 2022, the projection suggests.

The calm before the storm..
I think it's fair to say that most of us are in some degree of denial over what is likely coming, self included.

Hard to know what's coming though. Perhaps some are in denial (including myself) or perhaps we're making it into a bigger deal than necessary. Time will tell.I think it's fair to say that most of us are in some degree of denial over what is likely coming, self included.
From what I understand South Africa haven't yet felt the need to introduce more restrictions so maybe it won't be as bad as some expect. Here's hoping anyway!

Is there any stats on how many people with Omicron have been hospitalised? This is the stat that’s the most important stat to find out in a month where we will be at!
I guess the millions who haven't had a jab or just one will certainly find out..I'm just glad I'm getting the booster on Monday..right cmon city..I think it's fair to say that most of us are in some degree of denial over what is likely coming, self included.

It’s been gaining traction across Africa in the last fortnight, but by paying attention to Tshwane, Gauteng, and South Africa we should have a better idea of what to expect.Hard to know what's coming though.
