Reports are that in South Africa, when omicron hit the health care system lost 20% of it's workers to illness. If it's so infectious that PPE becomes less effective and it sickens a large percentage of health care workers it may not matter if it's milder.

Boost, stay home and upgrade to an N95 mask are all we can do, the unvaxxed and unmasked are fucked, the rest of us should muddle through. It's moving too fast to vaccinate or boost, though they just started a massive boost program in Ontario and may do the same here in NS.
booster on the 21st..safest place is home.

Dec 30th for me, but I expect the timetable to move up for boosters soon.
and we can all thank you know who for one year of federal inaction, throwing it on the governors then working against them cancelling their orders and bidding against overseas..what he did affected you and your country.That’s great but my issue is there is no vaccine. I actually am able to get it on the 21st of Dec. but every place I called is waiting for supply.
January marks two years with this and Uncle Joe cut our benefits a little too early (September) he promised there was 'more where this came from' when talking about the extra UI benefit and that he wouldn't let us down..we didn't even have delta when he took over and now were two out from Covid19.
I've been without UI since the beginning of September because their brand new system pays out fraudulent claims and no matter what they do it has a bunch of glitches...received some back cash from...MAY! they must hand process all claims now
seriously though i don't think we know enough about omicron yet and i feel like lambs to the slaughter no matter how upbeat the press releases from the WH are.

We started vaccinating a couple of months later than America, but the uptake is much higher now than in the states. If America had followed the same course as Canada, there would have been less than 300,000 dead and not 800,000 people. We lost 30,000 so far and America has a pop about 8.4 times greater than Canada. Yet we are 27th in per capital death rates, nothing exceptional.

U.S. leads world at 800K COVID-19 deaths. Here's how Canada ranks
The U.S. passed a grim milestone on Tuesday, with more than 800,000 COVID-19 related deaths now reported in the country. Canada, meanwhile has seen 30,022 fatalities linked to the virus, and sits behind several other countries when it comes to coronavirus deaths

we just effect each other with open border until they closed it and since Rumpy did nothing for a year sure didn't help.We started vaccinating a couple of months later than America, but the uptake is much higher now than in the states.

Here is some good news about boosters.

Data Plainly Shows Benefits Of Covid Vaccine Booster In Reducing Case Rates
Dr. David Kessler, chief science officer for the Biden admnistration's Covid response, talks with Rachel Maddow about whether evidence showing the value of a Covid vaccine booster in reducing case rates in nursing homes can be applied to the general population, and what is known so far about the Omicron variant.

And yet it looks like the States are experiencing a downturn. More impressively, India which was savaged by Delta is showing steady decay to baseline. I expected a sharper rise in both nations. I’m guardedly optimistic.

There is a lot of natural immunity in India because of delta, winter here could make all the difference, it has in Europe.

We are ahead of India in the number of omicron infections so we will find out how bad this is first.

This roller coaster is making a lot of people sick.
Omicron is spreading 'every place at once,' experts say. What it could mean for holiday plans.
A group of Massachusetts-based researchers say they believe omicron could already account for about 15% of COVID-19 cases in some parts of the U.S.news.yahoo.com

We might be sick of the reality presented to us, but none the less we have to deal with it. Fortunately, the wise now have options, a year ago we had none, we also have a lot of experience with this monster and fortunately it didn't make this kind of adaptation earlier in the pandemic, also the original mRNA vaccines were so effective they can still be used, even with new variants.
Another winter of masks and distancing will not be popular, but with omicron there is no other way besides vaccination to keep the hospitals from over flowing.
