Yep, it sure is scary, but we can't do anything about it than most of us aren't doing already: vaccinate, boost, wear a mask, limit social contacts, avoid large crowds and try to get as healthy and strong as we can for the inevitable ordeal/ or bad cold.
I still believe the milder and shorter the case, the less damage done, that's just common sense, but it's also backed up by data. Hospitalization rates compared to the number of infections are low and vaxxed people seem to have milder cases of a shorter duration. Perhaps along with being vaxxed, a mild covid infection can prime the immune system for omicron.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not down playing the seriousness of this, especially for the vulnerable and unvaxxed, but the boosted are doing well against it. I figure those who are boosted will get omicron as their immunity wanes over the spring and summer, the severity will probably depend on how far out they are from their booster. If one is gonna get this shit, it might be best to await until the hospitals aren't overrun and there are lot's of therapeutics available. We probably won't get boosted every 6 months unless vulnerable.
