8. It does feel like that.

I have not gotten it so far. And while I'm not as obsessive as some -- I do go to the grocery store, I occasionally eat in restaurants -- I have the good fortune to live in northern New Mexico, where mask wearing is almost universal. And the masks are mostly correctly worn. Plus, we have a very high vaccination and booster rate.

It will be interesting to see how the next major variant plays out. Omicron is far more infectious, but far less serious than Delta. Which is actually in keeping with how diseases normally mutate. I'm going to predict that the next major noticeable mutation will be even less serious than Omicron. Eventually, this will probably become a lot like seasonal flu, just somewhat different. Keep in mind that Covid19 isn't particularly deadly, especially as compared to various other things out there.
