      In case it’s not obvious, many places in the U.S. may run out of PCR testing capacity soon. I don’t think the fact that many vaccinated will test positive has sunk in. Current quarantine/isolation guidelines don’t fit an Omicron wave. I think we have a communication emergency.

      Look, "it's mild" people. I'm not saying Omicron is a huge individual threat to someone in good health, had two, preferably three shots, at least one of them an mRNA. But this new wave needs preparing people for it, and an active management of it by communicating and adjusting.

          the message should be "relax". There's nothing else we can do at this point.

          Ramping up the supply of monoclonal antibodies and administering them to every adult early after infection would seem like the best path forward. We’re all going to get it folks.

          Sounds way way way way more expensive than just getting vaccinated.

          What should the message be? Broad or focused response? I hope you're not advocating for more lockdowns.
