I think a higher percentage of omicron is actually better. Britain is omicron dominant, which has led the number of new cases to skyrocket:Ludicrously huge difference in estimates makes it difficult to believe their numbers in general.
CDC significantly reduces estimate of omicron prevalence in US
I think a higher percentage of omicron is actually better. Britain is omicron dominant, which has led the number of new cases to skyrocket:

However, covid deaths have continued to decline:

The number of new hospital admissions for Covid has gone up in London, which is far ahead of the rest of the country in its omicron epidemic:

But the number of people requiring ventilation in hospital is not even yet at the peak of the summer delta wave:

Most of the findings of new hospital admissions for omicron are merely incidental findings, as all inpatients are tested for Covid. Omicron displaces delta, so seems to confer an immunity to delta, which is more harmful. So I think this variant is going to bring about an end to the pandemic.
Its ridiculous to talk about shutting down anything, if our government and health organizations would stop all the unnecessary fear mongering people wouldn't be overreacting to omicron...

US smashes global COVID infection record for a second day with 647,067 new cases recorded after experts warned 'we are at the very beginning' of a viral blizzard that will cause de facto shut-down - but deaths halve to 1,400
The US smashed yet another global COVID infection record on Thursday when 647,067 new cases were reported - up 26 percent from the day before, when 512,533 new cases were reported, according to a DailyMail.com analysis of John Hopkins data. In total, the United States saw 2.49 million new cases within the past week, outpacing the country's previous record of 1.7 million new cases recorded in the one-week period from January 3 through January 9. Daily life continues to be upended in between Christmas and New Year's Day as over 1,300 U.S. flights were canceled by late Thursday, businesses face shortages due to staff testing positive and Americans continue facing hours-long lines to get tested. According to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), anywhere from 40 to 70 percent of new cases in America are of the Omicron variant, which was first discovered last month by South African health officials.

Here we go again.
Israel – which became the first country to begin administering a 4th dose of the experimental vaccine and is one of the most vaccinated areas in the entire world – has recorded the first case of what health officials are calling “Flurona” – a mixture of two diseases, influenza and coronavirus.
According to local reports, the hybrid infection was first identified in a young pregnant woman earlier this week at Rabin Medical Center in the Israeli city of Petach Tikva. According to the hospital, the new mother was not vaccinated against either virus, but she only experienced mild symptoms and w and was discharged from care on Thursday.
The director of the gynecology department of Beilinson Hospital at Rabin Medical Center, Dr. Arnon Vizhnitser, spoke with local outlet Hamodia about their discovery of ‘Flurona,’ noting the similarities between the two viruses.
“She was diagnosed with the flu and coronavirus as soon as she arrived. Both tests came back positive, even after we checked again.
The disease [Flurona] is the same disease: they’re viral and cause difficulty breathing since both attack the upper respiratory tract.”
Vizhnitser also noted that the patient treated at Rabin did not experience any unusually harsh symptoms. She was reportedly tested because she had come into the facility to give birth to her child.
The Israeli health ministry said it’s currently studying the case to determine whether the combination of the two infections can cause a “more serious illness.”
According to Dr. Vizhnitser, her case is the first of its kind in the world but doctors believe there could be more ‘Flurona’ infections in the country, especially since the flu has come storming back after “mysteriously” taking a year off.
Damn these viruses and their nefarious political agendas…
“We are seeing more and more pregnant women with the flu. It is definitely a great challenge dealing with a woman who comes in with a fever at childbirth.
This is especially when you do not know if it’s coronavirus or the flu, so you refer to them the same. Most of the illness is respiratory.”
Despite the fact that Israel’s population is one of the most vaccinated in the entire world, the spread of the omicron has caused another round of chaotic public health responses by the government that has seen officials green-light a fourth dose of the experimental vaccine even though they admittedly had absolutely no evidence of its effectiveness against the new strains of Covid.
As of the most recent data from the Israeli Health Ministry on Friday, 5,000 cases of Omicron have been recorded in the country, most of which have been compared to the common cold – none of the cases have been fatal.
Nevertheless, fearmongering is what public health is all about in 2021 2022. On Thursday, the head of the Israeli army’s coronavirus task force warned that the healthcare system would “collapse” as Omicron spread, according to Haaretz.
This is nonsense misinformation. They are reporting a double-infection of coronavirus and influenza in the same individual, not a coronavirus-influenza hybrid virus.First Case of “FluRona” Detected in Almost-Fully Vaxxed Israel, Virus is Supposedly a Hybrid Flu-Coronavirus – Here We Go Again

Dumb at any time. But nowadays most people can easily send images via phone, or even email.We currently have 18 people from work out sick with Covid...One dumbass came to work to show proof he had Covid bringing his positive test result and the Office manager told him to go, he's doing nothing but spreading it by showing up here sick like that...
