19. Once again...

being Vaxxed and boosted will NOT prevent infection.

It will only prevent serious illness and death.

Omicron is only slightly less virulent than Delta for those who are unvaccinated and who also never have had Sars-Cov-2 exposure (to any variant).

For the class of people are are unvaccinated and who have never had Covid, Omicron is only 11% less likely to cause severe illness.

This is the conclusion of many studies of South Africa and the UK.

The good news is that for the vaccinated and boosted, you may not even have symptoms, or if you have symptoms it will be like a cold (some reports say a really bad cold).

I had Covid 14 months ago... and it kicked my ass hard (long Covid symptoms that lasted almost 4 months, constant runny nose, shortness of breath, fatigue). Now I am vaxxed and boosted... but I expect to catch Omicron in the next few weeks, even as I isolate and always wear a mask in public.
