I mean it is milder. So it's a sign that hopefully the disease will eventually just become another coronavirus during cold season. But that's still pretty far in the future. And it's so contagious that it's still a problem for our medical infrastructure.
Yeah, uh, let's not think about horizontal gene transfer and what might happen if enough people have delta and Omicron at the same time.
Also, milder over decades. It might become another coronavirus by 2025 or so, maybe, but even then there will be sudden reversions to virulence over many years.
Or it could go Spanish Flu on us and go from "kind of deadly" to "very deadly". Or like Syphilis in the 1500s where it went from "Very deadly over many years" to "All your skin falls off in a week and you die screaming" and then back again several times.
Yeah, it is indeed milder - but it’s not a mild disease by any means. Absolutely fucking everyone, from chuds to libs to some people on here, are taking “milder” to mean “it’s just a cold bro”, not “fuck, it’s far more contagious with just a 40% drop in hospitalization and insufficient data to assess the burden of long term chronic disease”. There of course, has been little to no push back on this narrative from state institutions due to the need for the line to go up. It’s utterly horrifying tbh
The “Omicron Is Mild” meme is quite something to behold

If the normal flu was as contagious as covid it would cripple our hospitals every year. Letting this virus become seasonal is incredibly dangerous.
