       "Mild" means you probably won't die (if you're vaccinated.) There's a lot of hurt between being sick and dying, and even worse, there's a whole lot we don't know about the long-term effects of this.It makes no sense to think there's a benefit to going out and "getting it over with." The higher the infection rate, the sooner mutations will emerge, propelling the entire COVID-19 disaster ever-onward.It's like saying you just want to go to Vegas, lose all your money, and get it over with. At least get a tattoo first. Or better yet, shots if you haven't had them. #Omicron #GetVaccinated #GetBoostedCalling Omicron ‘Mild’ Is Wishful Thinking:https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2022/01/omicron-mild-severity-immunity/621238/

       @TonyStark You don't want to go to the hospital for anything right now if you can possibly avoid it. Overworked, understaffed, burned out, supply shortages, agency nurses unfamiliar with that hospital and its doctors, teeming with unvaccinated COVID positive patients, sick people stacked up in ERs waiting for an inpatient bed.Part of the scourge of the unvaccinated is that they are degrading the entire health care system for everyone else, regardless of your medical needs.At this point, I think observing public health protocols is your civic duty, but, unfortunately, a lot of the people occupying hospital beds right now do not share that view. They reject science until the ambulance pulls up to the ER, then they want to burn medical resources in a selfish zero sum bonfire before anyone else can use them.

       @TonyStark Better mitigations for omicron are coming. That will include improved vaccinations and better meds to treat acute infection. In the meantime, it's still wise to protect ourselves, one another, and our healthcare teams....especially those working in our country's hospitals.Take it seriously and get vaccinated and boosted right now if you haven't yet. Wear a good mask.
