Who is even bothering getting tested for this now? My guess is that the vast majority of people who experience the typical mild cold-like symptoms of omicron will simply assume that they’ve caught a cold and otherwise just get on with their lives.

Considering the facts …. Just the facts …. Omicron has killed more people in Japan than any other variant, the vast majority of deaths from Covid were from the Omicron variant…. So no …. It’s not some cold …. As for “getting on.” Who are these people referring too? Perhaps it’s themselves that holed up… can anyone with any degree of credibility precisely explain what “getting on” “moving on” and “opening up” is to them exactly? What did the jgov do that I missed that was so draconian and drastic ?
