Maybe. But we also have more hospital capacity than counties in Europe. And hospitalization rates are not like delta so far. And the drop in cases will happen as quickly as the rise. And no one is locking down to delay the inevitable again.
I known you are trying to prove a point but a week or so ago this happened to a friend. They're okay now but went into sepsis due to no rooms available. No way is anyone locking down. Too little too late
It is too late, but in 2-3 weeks everyone will out of fear.
Not trying to be a jerk but the reason for the love response is that they had this coming when it was decided Covid was over in the Summer.
No they won’t. They will just declare what happens as unavoidable.
Don't need to lockdown but there isn't any reason why restrictions like Ontario has can't be put in place.
Oh most will, when the stories come out of hospitals having a line of ambulances people will realize how real it is.
My cynical side feel otherwise. Case in point, gov here says all schools should have mask mandates but won't force it. All talk, no action. I just hope this wave is quick.
It's been that way since day 1. No US politician has the gonads to put in restrictions again or limit capacity like we have done in Ontario. Too afraid of the mAh FrEeDoM crowd

As great news as that possibly is doesn't mean Covid is over. They shouldn't drop restrictions as soon as numbers go down.Fauci predicts omicron Covid wave will peak in U.S. by end of January
"It's tough to say," said Fauci, President Joe Biden's top medical aide, when asked on CNBC's "Closing Bell" when the omicron-fueled surge will start to recede.
Actually no, in the beginning we had a medical advisor with balls. She took soooo much crap including people literally protesting on her personal lawn at her house. She quit. It's been downhill since. In fact our governor removed safe guards in October for schools due to pressure from others. It's crap. But we are where we are, and no going back. Just praying for the best and going to do our part.
How do you think it would have looked with even less vaccinated and less or no masking? Better, same, or worse?
Clearly with Omicron, it’s not enough. Or people aren’t really doing all those things. Or both.
Unless Summer 2022 could be it.
Personally I think masks will be part of life.
You could have had mask mandates, vaccine passports, and capacity restrictions and would have been in the same place today with this new variant. Omicron didn’t pay any attention to those safeguards. Blew right by them.
I’m just glad your listening to Fauci now.That’s progress.Fauci predicts omicron Covid wave will peak in U.S. by end of January

"All indications point to a lesser severity of omicron versus delta," said Fauci, President Joe Biden's top health advisor, of the early Covid variant data.
I don’t listen to any one person specifically. That’s just weird and a bad idea. But I do post information I find interesting.I’m just glad your listening to Fauci. That’s progress.
