The Omicron surge
A lot of the docs and epidemiologists I follow on twitter are very worried about Omicron, particularly that we aren't taking it seriously enough and that we are headed for a big surge. A lot of people seem relieved that it seems to cause less severe disease, which is understandable.
The problem is it's way more transmissible than even delta, and so even if it causes less disease, if it infects more people, it has the potential to cause even more severe cases than delta.
