So the mainstream narrative right now is that hospitals are filling up around the country due to omicron. A potential much wraker virus with higher transmissibility. Before all these reports, this looked like the strain that shoupd be able to cause mass immunity for mankind because it was like the common cold as far as mortality goes. So whats really happening... whats the rub?
Is the virus weaker? I thought so Is it more transmissible? Seems that way, i heard aomething about 500k cases in one day. Its very hard to get an accurate hospitalization count. Does anyone have real answers? Are hospitals really filling up for a virus thats now weaker and only exhibits symptoms no worse than the common cold?
Im starting to get confused. Does anyone have answers for us?

I have no data. My gut agrees that variants tend to be less lethal and more transmissible.
I firmly believe the mainstream outlets are desperate for viewers in not completely compromised. So they are going to keep scaring-people-to-boost ratings.
