[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The damage is done[/b]. Omicron is so infectious you've pretty much all given it to your children. Thank you for your contribution to medical research. I am hoping that with the sharp peak and now the decline in infection rates that will be enough for my child and family to avoid catching it when my child returns to school next week for the first time since Christmas break.

It's not the solution I wanted. It exposed a lot of vulnerable people and I can't even imagine the cost for some of your teachers and staff... But it's the world we live in. A world full of careless sociopaths. [/quote]

I just follow the math and science. By permitting omicron to rapidly infect a large population, the math is stacked against.  The most plausible scenario is a sudden uptick in hospitalization rates that goes undetected (or in denial, such as many on this message are doing), but no one in the medical community bothers to type the infection thinking it was "just Omicron".  It's a very plausible scenario, since this has already happened with Deltacron in Cyprus (which is about the size of Montgomery County, 1.2 vs 1 million people)?  For the DHHS people in Montgomery County to believe this can't happen here, I'd remind everyone that covid probably started in China, but could also have started somewhere else (and just found a large population to infect there).  I still remember when everyone said "oh, there are only four cases.."

"Deltacron infection is higher among patients hospitalized for Covid-19 than among non-hospitalized patients, so that rules out the contamination hypothesis"

“We will see in the future if this strain is more pathological or more contagious or if it will prevail"

As long as we continue to listen to politics over science, we will continue to make the same mistakes, over and over and over and over..
