    British scientists are warning that the government may need to introduce tougher restrictions to slow the growth of the omicron coronavirus variant. U.K. health officials say omicron is spreading much more quickly than the delta strain.http://apne.ws/dT0Rjuu

        But we ALREADY know it's less harmful than past strains. What are you going on about?

        It’s less harmful tho and I feel like if we were tracking every contagious virus we’d see things spreading faster. It just won’t kill you or threaten you like covid. I’m taking no chances and got my booster. But a lockdown for the US again would be..I don’t even want to imagine.

        Lockdowns are a myth. They allow an excuse for rich people to go on vacation, middle class people to stay home and poor people to continue working. Causing the virus to circulate in the poor community even when “lockdowns” are lifted.
