Thailand is a few months behind the eight ball with Omicron. Perhaps it's time to look to what's happening in South Africa, where is was first discovered and identified.....

The mildest variant to date - already scientifically proven. 

Appears that most are still along for the knee-jerk panic/concern ride.

I wish more countries would.  It shows that there will not be any hospital surge and the the wave will probably burn itself out within about a month.  The UK is probably peaking right about now and hospitalizations are still quite low and only up slightly in the past couple weeks, even though about 200,000 people are testing positive daily.
