--- "...imagine they next variant that is as infectious as Omicron but as deadly as Delta? No one knows what will happen next."

Imagine? One does not need to imagine. Here's the alpha, beta, delta, all the way through to omicron variant deaths summary of the last twenty-six months.

As of 21 February 2022,

( 935,336 US deaths over six-months / 331,449,281 population of US ) x 100 = 0.282 % mortality rate.

The CDC site shows 930,811, something less than Johns Hopkins University's Coronavirus Resource Center.

( 5,888,779 global deaths / 7,928,690,901 global population ) x 100 = 0.074 % mortality rate.

The "event" has required over two years to tally the "deadly" numbers which "officially" testify again and again the above mortality rates are "officially" correct.

Imagine the mortality rates which we already find from "official" data being the basis for your imaginings.

It could prove an antidote to so much fear.

Antidote for fear,,,
.
Trying to quell fear is
Impossible “cept to hide
or drink it Away.
The fear that has been 24/7
Fear Porn broadcast is damn
Near impossible to fight
with “Facts” which you have presented. My mom stills
Hides under her Bed fearing
The Mighty wuhan Virus.
Thanks for that.
