Assuming the Delta case was actually and truly mild (a couple of my friends had breakthroughs that were the equivalent of 48 hours of allergies) you probably are actually better positioned to fight off omicron.

Like what's his face from TWiV saying we can just boost by being exposed, I mean ya sorta, if you get just the right kind of exposure and a resulting case that doesn't do physical damage to you, but that's uhhh....tricky.



sadly my wife's case was 'mild' which meant tons of fatigue and temperature regulation for over a week, and shes still not recovered fatigue wise. so maybe shes a bit better positioned vs omicron than me but i doubt it

on the plus side the regeneron she (and my brother in law earlier) got to take was helpful as opposed to being a waste going forward

can someone give me a rundown on omicron, i keep hearing crazy poo poo

like it's potentially similar to hiv? do we have any info on how deadly it is yet? is there any info at all or just more "mildsauce"

Look at what we did to this poor soul, guys.

TLDR: so far it's a variant with what appears to be a transmission that is at least several times faster than Delta and a substantial amount of evasion from the existing vaccines (get boosted with an mRNA if you can). The HIV thing is a theory circulating that this variant specifically evolved in an HIV infected person and due to their weakened immune system the virus had endless opportunities to evolve as much as it did before it hopped the next host. *This one* is not airborne HIV.

If you get COVID from a furry, does it count as animal-to-human transmission?

If we can't figure out a strategy to get our immune system to stop forgetting about covid every couple months then this is life now and we just get wrecked by wave after wave after wave until well....we're all dead. There's no workable strategy to deploying 7 billion vaccines globally every couple of months.

At work, on a team of ~40, I and one of my associates are the only people who have not tested positive or gotten very sick and refused to test.

Socially, maybe 5 out of 30 people I used to regularly hang out with have not tested positive.

In my family, my parents and one of my brothers has not caught it. Most of my dad’s side of the family who live in bumfuck nowhere (who we don’t talk with because chuds + horrible) died from it or became disabled.

When I was a kid, we used to do family reunions with my mom’s side of the family. My great grandmother was one of 7 children and there were lots of cousins we saw regularly. Many of them are dead now. A lot of them lived in Little Rock and it spread around several of the families. In one cousins family it got the grandfather (80ish), the dad/mom (50s) and the kids (30s). I hadn’t seen any of these people in decades but when I was talking with my grandmother the other day, she casually mentioned them all dying last year/this year.

It’s loving everywhere and everyone is getting it. Omicron is going to be worse.

This poo poo is crazy to me, because it's not my experience with my chud family. My family has all gotten vaxxed and boosted, except for my idiot younger brother, with my grandmother going so far as to not let my brother come visit her in her retirement community until he gets vaxxed. They still consume Fox news and call it the China-virus and all that, but every time we've discussed vaccines they've been supportive and always end up talking about it's just like when they got the polio vaccine. I had a realization that they are making this comparison because I had a great-uncle who caught polio as a child and was severely disabled his entire life, and that obviously had a massive impact on everyone in the family. They were grateful to get their sugar cubes in the 50s or whatever, and are grateful to get their covid shots in the present day. Biden is still a communist, though.

they were dishing out a lot of "insider information" and "layman's explanations" of how vaccines worked when they were new, and how effective they were, and they've parlayed that into a following

this is not to say that the information they're privy to is false, but rather that they take an exceedingly optimistic view and framing of the data, that can ultimately be harmful public messaging
