“Omicron not big bad wolf”

I think so too at this point, but I try not to be too sure, to keep an open mind.

It is still possible that it needs a little more time to cook off for fatalities, or that demographic factors might make it somewhat worse here than South Africa (where possibly 80% were previously infected, and the population is younger).
