Think it’s fairly clear that I have always advocated for sane policy goals and targeted proportionate measures consistent with achieving them, not for hysteria or robotic completionism from whatever end of the spectrum. (The fact that our policy goals don’t coincide with that of the authorities often seems missing from consideration.) So much so I often get the feeling the people that disagree want to send the men in white coats after me, so I don’t know how to answer that?
Omicron is less severe and gives innate resistance to delta. Truly a golden opportunity for a vaccinated population to finally bite the bullet and take this thing on. One fast and short wave that's over in 6 weeks. Shame our rates aren't high enough to bite that bullet now. Don't know if we'll have such an opportunity again.
Most popular person in the Philippines is Gwyneth Chua.
Arrived from the USA. Decided a few days quarantine wasn't her thing so left the hotel, travelled across Manila and went to a family party.
Tested positive, odds are as she is from the USA it is omicron.
Unrelated, here is the last four days new cases: 200; 400; 800; 1600. Predict the sequence.
