Nationwide cases below 50,000, Severe cases and deaths falling quite fast now.

Omicron will infect all of us and will provide robust immunity to future variants. Those at high risk should consider booster shots, the rest of us should make our own minds up, stay healthy, don’t become obese and exercise daily.
