I'M GONNA GET YOU DUCK

you are in the back seat of a car flying down a darkened rural highway at night. the driver is arguing with the person in the passenger's seat about whether a number should go up or if it should go up instead. in the headlights, a large animal of some sort steps onto the road. "slow down," you say, but the driver keeps their foot on the gas. "we don't know what it is yet," they reply, foot lowering to the floor. "you say it's a moose, but it could be a deer, or even a raccoon." the passenger denies that an animal exists at all, and the driver calls you a doomer before ignoring your further pleas in favor of further bickering with the passenger. the car's engine shrieks as the tachometer redlines and the wooly mammoth grows ever larger in the windshield. "lol," you think. "lmao."

if this experience gives you deja vu, turn to page March 2020.
if you pull out your phone and start posting in cspam, turn to page 42069.

Wait are we doing bean boarding again? Can someone give me a tldr version? I hate to be That Guy but I’m now truly busy dealing with multiple family members in the hospital from Covid, including uncle who is probably dying today, while trying to keep my boyfriend alive at home with long Covid. :supaburn:

New variant is somewhere between 30% worse and 500% worse, the vaccines we have might not affect it at all, and it's bad enough that the US is immediately implementing travel restrictions. You definitely want a bean hoard in case it's anywhere close to the worst-case scenario. But mass panic hasn't started yet so if you're in the ICU waiting for your uncle to die, probably OK to stay there.

Tl:dr version. Your immunity from Delta probably more than not gonna protect you from Omicron.

500% more transmissivity than Delta, possible r0 of 36
