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.

The W.H.O. wouldn’t want to offend China, now, would they?
This really is absurd.

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.

I saw an article quoting a doc in South Africa who's taken care of patients with the
NuXiOmicron variant.First of all, his patient population was young, and afaik, had no co-morbidities.
He says the symptoms were very mild, no anosmia, no loss of taste. One kid had a very rapid heart rate. Most common symptoms were overwhelming fatigue and some fever.
All resolved in a matter of days.

And meanwhile, in New York, the governor has cancelled all "elective" surgery because of the Omicron variant, which hasn't even been found in the US (though undoubtedly it exists).

Is he going to pick up the tab for that?

In the meantime, this may be the solution that we’ve been waiting for.

Attenuation, you mean?
They said it'd take 3-5 years, but it's also mutating at a much faster rate than they predicted.
