Yup, they skipped it.
It's officially the "Omicron" variant.
What the hell are we going to do when we get through the entire Greek alphabet?

Any word on the severity of the cases? Is this the hoped for you incredibly transmissible but much less severe variant that everyone has been keeping an eye out for?

Does this mean they'll quit firing unvaxxed healthcare workers?

The waaaaaaayyyyy too early reports seem to indicate that cases are milder, but then again, most cases of COVID are mild to begin with. There will need to be a much larger sample size to really know.

Yes - low grade fever, myalgias, fatigue. No loss of smell/taste.
But - young population, and small sample size.

I’m glad I’m flying home today (Sunday). Monday the airports will probably be messy as the US implements its ban.
We all had negative antigen tests Friday. We’ll be wearing N95s on the plane.

Oh yes, lovely. Not quite the same as spring break, which we purchased the tickets for. But still nice.
