Must Watch: I hate to post a link to an IMHE video, but this is god damned encouraging, frankly...

Do watch this video. Seriously.

Not a lot of gloom and doom here and hints that the silver lining of omicron crowding out more dangerous variants is going to come true. The deadly phase of the pandemic may be over pretty damn soon. It's going to be hard for the "Branch Covidian" politicians to ignore the fact, when omicron takes over, that hospitalizations drop off a cliff.

So everything Joey tells the country tomorrow about the Omicron blizzard will be a lie. We’re going to have a wave that will break mostly mild.

What an absolute garbage mix of reluctant information and contradicting doublespeak “We are really concerned with how severe it is… a number of studies are showing it’s quite substantially less severe, 75-95%” “were seeing significant vaccine escape, but make sure to get your booster”

Be careful not showing your cards too blatantly wankers

You've picked up the key point. The reluctant information is totally a new phenomenon from the IMHE. That's why this is newsworthy.
