I think that eventually all of us will get Covid. But with the omicron, highly infectious but mild

it will be endemic. And, perhaps, like flu, we will just have to get a shot each year.

All those maskholes and antivaxxers who were screaming it was just a cold last year while the bodies were piling up are going to be fucking insufferable with “I told you so!”

For those over 65 or immune compromised. It's as scary for us as any previous varients. Life under COVID continues.

Omicron is the last variant and what follows would also be mild.

Best we can say is we don't know. Would help if there were fewer unvaccinated brewing new possible variants.

Especially with the news that boosters are significantly diminished in 10 weeks.

And given we've needed 3 jabs in just one year, and there's a lot of talk about a 4th for elderly / immunocompromised people and Israel is already doing that.

Covid is not the flu
