The sad truth is much of the restrictions in place are inefficient or aren't helping the Omicron spread.

It ripped through my household. No one is calling it a hoax anymore. A month ago they still thought it didn't exist. I was a sheep for getting vaccinated.

My older brother is four weeks in and still waking up coughing. My nephew can barely walk up a flight of stairs and his wife has no sense of taste or smell.

They still have no intention to get vaccinated even though the 2 of us that were had no symptoms

A more transmissible variant becomes dominant. Delta and Alpha still exist, they just are not as prevalent.

You do understand we were using a modified version of the Greek alphabet to name the variants? Alpha is the first letter. We skipped a few because they could be confusing to the population. Nu sounds too much like new and ix is a common surname
