the world wasn't really ready for a variant at the scale of delta, and now there's omicron which is maybe 3x worse. institutions running the same old programs.
we're doomed
psychologically i'm just preparing for failure. get health, get boosted, tank it, what else can you do
ah, you're right
3x more likely for reinfection, maybe. actually per @trvrb it might have a lower R0 than Delta but a 3x (say) higher prior exposure immune resistance, for a net much higher Rt
