I saw this at Newsweek and wondered if anyone else here saw it? I also was told but cannot confirm there has been just 1 death reported from Omicron. My poor wife is scared to death and I am trying to calm her down but do not want to lie to her.

I don't have the time for a lot of research and from being a long time visitor here (I only recently signed up) I know many of you seem to be able to cut thru the bs and I hope you will do so now.
