If R0 of Omicron is really 10+, we had better all get ready to catch it. Alpha was 2 to 3. Delta was 6 to 7. All you can do is get vaxxed, boosted, and hope your case is mild.

I don’t want to get sick, but my booster is 4-5 months old and it’s likely I’ll get sick eventually. Given that, I’d much rather get omicron than delta or whatever comes next from either branch or others (of course, we don’t pick what we get hit with, so still trying to play it safe). It’ll likely get worse from here on out, because as long as vax rates remain at this level we’re going to see a sweep of new types every few months, and reinfection is happening for those touting just natural immunity.

Was true with Delta and it’s risk profile was higher, for both vax status.

I am vaxxed and got omicron and it was no bueno. Glad it wasn’t worse.

Thanks! I have asthma and am so glad it wasn’t worse. I was down and out for 5 days. I’m so glad I had the vaccine. Sadly I got boosted while I unknowingly had covid. Woof.

I hope everyone gets omicron (especially as a milder strain), and therefore, we achieve herd immunity.

Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF.

This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.

Assuming the following holds tomorrow, I expect we will get a call of AZ around 11:15am ET, and NV and PA around 12:15pm ET.

AZ: next batch of Maricopa ballots 55% or less for Trump
NV: Biden wins >60% of next batch of ballots in Clark County
PA: Biden extends lead beyond 35K ballots

My intuition is that the networks want to call all three to provide extra margin for error given the stakes and fine margins.
