COVID-19: The REAL Reason for Fearing Omicron.

 The real reason for fearing Omicron is not Hospitalisations. It's not the number of deaths.

The real reason for fearing a mild, but more transferrable version of the virus is that it cannot be uniquely identified compared to other nastier strains. Therefore the same measures like isolation have to be implemented as if it was the original deadly strain.

The Government fear another shutdown of the economy as people start to self-isolate due to positive tests. The lack of NHS workers, carers, military staff, Civil Servants, emergency services.

They fear anarchy if the plebs twig that Omicron has shut down the tools of authority.

The symptoms of Omicron are a snotty nose, a headache and a sore throat. Oh, it's like a cold then. 

Not something you should be killing the economy over. 

But don't let a good narrative kill the government's will to stoke fear and drag us into another lockdown. 

And the government won't miss an opportunity to have a pop at those free thinkers that refuse vaccinations. If the virus was so bloody virulent and deadly, you'd think the government would just leave them alone and let them die off if that's the ultimate outcome of not getting vaxxed.

But now the virus has mutated into what effectively is a cold, can we just get on with our lives now?
