On the plus side, Omicron has been called "extremely mild" by a south African doctor dealing with it. Viruses usually trend to highly contagious with mild symptoms. The best scenario for a virus would be highly contagious with zero symptoms, then it could spread like crazy and no one would care, or even know. I am optimistic that a mild version of COVID takes over and we can all get the sniffles, have natural immunity, and be done with this BS.
