Big whoop, life moves on.

What is your point? Do you want scientists to stop researching new variants? Do you think a virus isn't capable of mutating enough to present us with new problems?

The point is that if you look hard enough you're always going to find variants. Big whoopdie doo. There are many scientists out there looking to make a name for themselves by stoking fear over every variant they find. If you study the cold virus guess what? You'll find that it mutates constantly. So friggin' what? Stop with the fear mongering. The economy is going to open. Covid will spread and mutate. Oh well. Humans will learn to live with it. We don't stop the world because there's a much more dangerous bug out there like multidrug resistant TB now do we?

So omicron is just a result of looking too hard? Good to know.

You're missing the point. There are variants. Scientists should be discussing them. But right now omicron is being presented in the news as a big threat, yet there is no actual data to back that up. Under a microscope, scientists think it looks like it may evade vaccines. But there is no data to back that up. And countries all over the world are closing borders based on this possiblity with no real data.

I think it’s funny that random people on this thread think they have the same information as world leaders/top scientists. Obviously we don’t know everything and those who have actual information are concerned. Remember this is the same administration that was quick to get rid of mask requirements for vaccinated people. I don’t believe they would do this over nothing.

The one thing the minimizers have in common is a gross overestimation of their own intellect and mental state. The constant need to show one is not overreacting has become a pathology on DCUM.

NP.LOL! The constant need to overreact on dcum and panic about everything covid related has become a pathology on DCUM. And more prevalent. You don't sound too bright either.

The health and medicine forum has become largely a covid forum. The other day I randomly tallied the 10 most recent threads and 9 were about covid. However, none of them were actually about someone getting covid. They were mostly people panicking and obsessing about how best to protect themselves, whether a 30 second encounter outdoors with a mask and triple vaxed could have led to covid, etc. It's really amazing there is so much more angst on this board about covid than about other health or medical issues.

I wish Jeff would make a separate COVID forum.
