My Omicron face! Yup. My entire family has it. I'm tired and have sniffles. Most of my family have absolutely no symptoms. Do as you choose. I'm so glad I'm vaccinated. pic.twitter.com/MAXuSrawHV

Denmark is a few weeks ahead of Oz in the omicron outbreak. Deaths are on the rise; equivalent to ~100/day in Australia. Their vaccination rates are better than Oz’s; 3rd dose is 42% vs 8%. Creating the impression that it is ok for omicron to spread is a public health threat. pic.twitter.com/WPcv4inAy8

Serious question since I’m not a dr. If omicron is contagious but not deadly(25,000 cases in Africa with no deaths) why try and control it? Why not let it go and let people get it and develop immunity? Especially for those who won’t get vaccinated? Pls no hate, I’m just curious.

NOTE:
This headline (From @US_FDA) is very likely NOT Accurate
Why?
1) Antigen Tests Detect a part of Omicron that isnt mutated
2) What the study identified is not that rapid tests are less sensitive – but simply that Omicron is more infectious

Omicron game-changer, mild brief without major systemic invasion, escapes natural, vaccinated, and monoclonal antibodies. Explained by heavily mutated RBD on S1.

Omicron cases are on the rise, but it’s clear that vaccines and boosters are making a difference. Vaccines and boosters help prevent severe illness and death — if you haven’t already, go get your vaccine and booster. pic.twitter.com/w6KL27VKrL

NEW: Florida Surgeon General says Biden Admin is "actively preventing" distribution of monoclonal antibodies by pausing shipments of Regeneron, in letter to HHS Sec.
Feds paused Regeneron bc it may not work against Omicron. FL says it can still be used in existing Delta cases. pic.twitter.com/9mmw5SsuZJ

Breaking News: The U.S. is averaging 267,000 daily coronavirus cases, according to a New York Times database. The record comes as two highly contagious variants — Delta and Omicron — converge and threaten to overwhelm hospitals. https://t.co/8TVaNChvof

COVID-19 booster shots increase antibody levels by more than 20x — providing a high degree of protection against severe illness with Omicron.
Get your shot today, folks.
— President Biden (@POTUS) December 28, 2021
My Administration has the back of every governor fighting COVID-19 in their state. Last week, I rolled out a federal plan to tackle Omicron by adding vaccination and booster capacity, hospital equipment, staff, and more.
We’re going to get through this by working together.
— President Biden (@POTUS) December 28, 2021
I know folks are worried about Omicron and wondering how they can stay safe.
The answer is simple: Get your booster shot, get vaccinated, and wear a mask.
— President Biden (@POTUS) December 27, 2021
As we continue our holiday celebrations and head into the new year, remember that the best way to protect your health and keep your loved ones safe from COVID-19 and the Omicron variant is to get vaccinated and get your booster shot.

We thought the anti-Covid pill Paxlovid (Nirmatrelvir) would be effective vs Omicron because there are few, if any, mutations in the main protease of the virus in variants. But good to see this confirmation of potency in an independent lab (not Pfizer) https://t.co/HyCaYtBVRA pic.twitter.com/d5EQMKE2OZ

Fantastic thread (both in style and substance)
Although Omicron is very capable of evading antibodies and causing reinfections/breakthroughs, it barely evades T-cells at all, meaning vaxxed or recovered people are likely to retain very good protection against severe disease https://t.co/72rMB3qjBB

If you're considering going to some sort of indoor event – a concert, a movie, dinner – and you're wondering how to "make it safe" – and by "safe" you mean avoid omicron?
In simple terms, the answer is "don't go to indoor events"

London and New York City are now ground zero for the Omicron epidemic and each have good testing, so observing the scope of decoupling between cases and hospitalization in each city will help us understand severity of Omicron in highly vaccinated and previously exposed population pic.twitter.com/mwuH4KrHWj

One of two new studies out today showing that most of your disease-fighting T cell responses generated from vaccination or from previous Covid infection still recognize the #Omicron variant and should offer protection against serious disease. https://t.co/nSG5RS8Eaq

BREAKING—The FDA just announced that rapid antigen tests are less sensitive for detecting #Omicron variant infections. This could mean we are missing a lot more #COVID19. I know many families with everyone having symptoms but many not positive. Oy. https://t.co/3q06hgp0de pic.twitter.com/mPgg3Fm5ZP

France is mandating work from home starting on January 3rd. The Netherlands is on lockdown, and so is most of the UK due to omicron. But here in the US we're throwing the doors open to just about everything. It's going to be quite a January.
— Imara Jones (@imarajones) December 28, 2021
I’m confused @ScottMorrisonMP Omicron spreads more easily than any other variant. It doesn’t care if you are a family member, a coworker, a drinker in the pub or breathing the same air in a lift. Isolating close contacts slows spread. Isolating less people means faster spread.
— AMA President (@amapresident) December 29, 2021
Fact: Travelers infected with the #coronavirus & every other variant have spread it around the world via air travel. Omicron didnt swim across the Pacific Ocean to the Hawaiian Islands, it came on an ✈️.
You want to crush the virus, address air travel. https://t.co/zo5BOJCWll

#Omicron hasn't just mutated. It's changed Covid symptom presentation too.
Out: Loss of smell, taste.
In: Sore throat*, runny nose, congestion, cough, body aches.
If you have any of these, it's probably not a cold or flu. You probably have Omicron.— Abdu Sharkawy (@SharkawyMD) December 26, 2021
Unvaccinated getting Omicron, Double vaccinated getting Omicron, Triple vaccinated getting Omicron…
In HUGE numbers.
Now show me some evidence that Vaccine Passports work. One teeny weeny shred of evidence.
Because countries like Ireland,France & Germanys stats say otherwise.— Adam Brooks (@EssexPR) December 28, 2021

We live in a country where the govt will ask the military to set up field hospitals & plan for mortuary capacity before enacting even the most basic public health measures to *prevent* this.

Bad news: natural immunity doesnt work for Omicron.
Good news: the above doesnt matter because its a cold and natural immunity never works against a cold.Game over. We are now seeing this on the clinical side. Just got off the phone with several frontline docs. Flu is worse.

Omicron, out of control, one strain hard to detect, concerns over Delta mutating.
Johnson, doing nothing, because his covidiot backbenchers have him by the balls.
We had control in July. He ruined that because he wanted to be a Poundland Churchill.
It’s been TWO fucking years.
