Yup- that is the belief of many- including doctors who look at this from all angles. Omicron could end covid if they let it rip through the population- but they’ll never let that happen.
Worshipping at the altar of “natural immunity” (somehow this makes sense to people vs a non-natural, artificial virus), is going to fail because Omicron penetrates all immunity.
It does so on day 1, and it will do so more readily every single day this ballyhooed natural immunity fades.
No, I am not praising vax. It’s going to fail, too. It already is failing.
This talk of bronchial vs lung would seem to say only that death takes a few days longer. Once the bronchial cells are infected, their replicated virus particles then move downward into the lungs.
