If this is an indication of what we can expect from Omicron it may be good news. High transmissible so it out competes other strains but with milder effects and potentially lower mortality. If this sweeps through the population it could well leave many with acquired immunity but with a relatively low cost in lives lost.

It will be interesting to see how this chapter of COVID plays out.

Yes this is good news and is what most experts have been expecting, each new variant will always likely become less dangerous but more infectous.
