If the Omicron variant starts another lockdown, I'm just going to become a hermit. No point getting excited about the real world if I'm just going to be forced back into the digital world over and over. Might as well just make my digital experience good.

Thought Omicron seems less deadly and less chance of hospitalization so far. Which is exactly the direction you want a pandemic to go; so it becomes endemic. Like the Spanish flu.

I would like to be optimistic too - it’s just after waiting almost 2 years for it “finally end” waiting and watch seems better.

Honestly I’m liking this “hermit” in a bubble approach. Being an introvert - bubbles are easier.

I'm from FL (now live elsewhere) and several of my friends back home say this same thing. Or did. Several of them have died from COVID, and even more are now suffering with long COVID symptoms. I'm in my mid-30's so we're not elderly. I understand your point of not "living in fear" as Fox loves to say, but you absolutely should take reasonable precautions. So many families I know are now reduced to traumatized children who have lost one or both parents, and wow, my friends who died suffered terribly before finally succumbing. It's tragic. All because they bought into this mindset that it wasn't "real". Live your life, but take the available precautions to reduce your risk and risks that you pose to others. Be well!

There have been 0 deaths as of two days from Omicron according to the CDC. My suggestion is stop listening to the hysteria of legacy media.

The CDC is great to listen to when in need of established protocol - not so great when the protocol may potentially change like the environment we’re in. It’s also great for companies seeking a “lawful cya policy”.
Hopefully I’m wrong and I would like to be able to do all things normally again but this virus seems to have other things in mind.

I don’t think we’ll ever go back to lockdowns. We haven’t done that since the beginning and even then didn’t have very strong ones here in the US compared to one’s they had in other countries.

To be honest, aside from working from home, my life hasn’t changed very much with all of this and I live in Seattle. We’ve been able to shop, go to restaurants, hang out with our friends and enjoy life for most of the pandemic. For restaurants, we did outdoor dining until we get comfortable inside. With our friends, we had a solid trusted pod in the beginning and stayed outdoors. Then we all got vaccinated. Since the vaccine, we’ve lived life normally. That was the point.

We can’t just hide inside every time we think we might get sick. We have to do what we can to mitigate the risk and then get on with living.
