Obviously, the data isn't in yet, and unfortunately people ARE dying from Omicron, but it might turn out to be a blessing in disguise. It is so infectious that we must surely end up with herd immunity eventually, either by infection or by vaccination? If that can be achieved with much smaller losses than with earlier variants then Omicron displacing Delta might overall be a good thing?
Fingers crossed...
I don't think herd immunity is a possibility, over 95% of adults have the antibodies right now either through vaccine or infection.
