Passing Thoughts...

 As of January 4th....

1. I am fully vaccinated but can still get Covid. Hell even the thrice vaccinated can get it. Just ask Elizabeth Warren.
2. The jury is out whether I will be more impacted by Omicron than the unvaccinated. Remember the original vaccine is geared to the Wild Type. A great deal of the Omicron mutations are on the spike protein.
3. I still need to be locked down despite the evidence that Omicron is far less lethal than other earlier variants.
4. Indoor dining is apparently still risky...so are schools (despite data to the contrary)
5. Government coping strategies haven't been changed to fit the new paradigm...Weren't lockdowns supposed to be an aspect of the past with high vaccination rates? One size does fit all.
6. Hospitals are still likely to be overwhelmed if we don't listen to the experts (whose modelling has been consistently wrong). Two weeks to flatten the curve.
Welcome to the New Normal.
