[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The damage is done. 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]
[b]Per Fauci, it's a matter of time for everyone to be exposed[/b]. Good luck on your lockdown in your house forever. Covid is here to stay.[/quote]

I love Fauci and even have his baseball card.  I just didn't find where he said everyone will be exposed?  If anything, Fauci warned a worst case scenario is possible that a variant eludes vaccines?

There are also warnings about how easy it is for covid to mutate.

"work done by scientists in Durban has shown how COVID can mutate inside the bodies of those with untreated HIV. In one case, they traced a coronavirus sample to a 36-year-old HIV patient who was struggling to adhere to her antiretroviral treatment regime. [b]Over the course of her seven-month COVID infection, the virus acquired 32 mutations[/b].  The risk is clear. New variants of concern could evolve - and be transmitted - by those with weakened immune systems."

“The faster Omicron spreads, the more opportunities there are for mutation, potentially leading to more variants,” said Leonardo Martinez, an infectious disease epidemiologist at Boston University."

"Along with keeping comparatively healthy people out of work and school, the [b]ease with which the variant spreads increases the odds that the virus will infect and linger inside people with weakened immune systems — giving it more time to develop potent mutations[/b]."

“[b]It’s the longer, persistent infections that seem to be the most likely breeding grounds for new variants[/b],” said Dr. Stuart Campbell Ray, an infectious disease expert at Johns Hopkins University. “[b]It’s only when you have very widespread infection that you’re going to provide the opportunity for that to occur[/b].”

“[b]These huge unvaccinated swaths in the U.S., Africa, Asia, Latin America and elsewhere are basically variant factories[/b],”
