Let me guess. More transmissible and less harmful just like the common cold. Isn't that how viruses work.
Wrong again. If you actually read the article, and I think that it's short enough even for someone with a diminished attention span to get through, you can find out for yourself.

IMHO, it's nothing to worry about.

Good, nonselfish folks have already done so or have an appointment to do so.
Go take 4th, 5th,6th,7th, 8th,9th and so on shots , have an appointment of being scared of what, very mild variant that has cold symptoms.

You must loving having gyms shutdown, no dine in , entertainment cinema, casino all closed, more small businesses will go bankrupt
Mental health on the rise , more people going
Into poverty.

People are fuckin fed up

Look at UK, the PM Boris Johnson not putting no restrictions, he doing the right thing,

And it comes at the expense of his citizens. Record breaking in UK yesterday 218724 cases and 48 deaths!

I don't like lockdown and I miss my gym dearly but I understand the why and I accept it. It is what it is and you can whine and drive yourself crazy over it or you take a chill pill and do what needs to be done as part of society instead of a rebel without a cause.

When you getting your 4th dose, I know lots of people not getting no booster shots at all
I don't need a 4th dose yet and nobody is suggesting I get a 4th dose yet. Has someone told you that you need a 4th dose? Is there an elf that pops out from under your bed and informs you that you will need a 4th dose? I had my 3rd last week. This morning I ran 6K and could have done more but had an appointment to catch. So really, it does no harm it could only help but you go ahead, keep the new hat on and keep whining about nonsense and bullshit.

This is why I and others do not take your posts seriously! Perhaps you are in a long-term facility with underlying conditions and have been asked to take the 4th dose?
Did you read the part where I said a 4th dose will come for younger people soon as well.

Did you really think it was gonna stop at 3 doses??

You want to hear something really scary? Probably a new variant in China has caused the complete closure of the city of Xian. That's 13 million people locked up in their houses without even possibility to go and shop for food. Meanwhile, in Canada a plane full of kids on their way OUT is the top news story and we are still on schedule to send our athletes to China. Unbelievable.

If you had to make a choice between getting the surgery you require or going to the gym, restaurant, cinema or casino, which would it be? Because that's the issue we're dealing with right now.

This isn't a VOC (variant of concern). It was discovered in early November and never took off. Considering we're in the fucking thick with this Omicron wave and haven't seen this variant at all should tell you what to actually be concerned about, hint....Omicron.

I don't think it'll take off. IHU has tanked on the Nasdaq Composite Index. ;)

Considering this variant was detected around the same time as omicron and we have 12 cases, it doesn't seem like a major concern.

I agree with you that the booster shots will have to go on for eternity.
The only thing that hopefully stops it is Omicron which will gives us natural immunity.
So far so good. It appears to be mild

Each variant seems to have it’s own distinct personality, apparently Omicron seems to be able to evade the current vaccines in many cases, is associated with less mortality, is the most contagious variant to date and is clogging up the ICU. Other variants resulting in more ICU deaths thus freeing up hospital beds.
This year is not starting off well at all with the quasi lockdowns, the vaccine fiasco, the boomeranging local and geopolitical jargon and bullshit.
Omicron is not the end, just the end of the beginning as most people on the planet have yet to have even gotten a first shot. There is also ominous silence from massively populated China which seems to be trying to contain an outbreak.
It will be impossible to vaccinate our way out of this pandemic and France’s IHU should be arriving in Canada shortly with more mutations, variants with expected unique virulence on the way in 2022.
You are right, booster shots will be in vogue for the foreseeable future as will the economic destruction for many.
