[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Couldn't care less. What, are we supposed to stop the economy and our way of life for every letter in the Greek alphabet?  Get used to variants and living with covid like the yearly cold.  We aren't in the same place as we were back in late 2019-2020. Our arsenal for therapies is much bigger now.  Even drugs that don't directly target the virus will help reduce severity and hospital stays.

Big whoop, life moves on.[/quote]

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? [/quote]

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? [/quote]

So omicron is just a result of looking too hard?  Good to know.  [/quote]

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.   [/quote]

A new variant of course is a threat.  Don't minimize covid.  [/quote]

You know what else is a threat? The big number of fungal infections that can no longer be treated with anything that works.  New variants of bacterial infections are nightmarish and very frightening.  Go look up the horrific photos of what happens to people who get fungal infections that travel up to their heads/brains. Do we shutdown the world because we have drug resistant super bugs that keep spreading?   Get used to COVID. Get used to not wearing masks ina world where COVID exists. Get used toiving a normal life with COVID. Enough of the chicken little sky is falling nonsense every single time we have to move to a new Greek letter.  [/quote]
