#LifeHack: Physics doesn't care about variants, BTW. A good fitted FFP2/3 (or (K)N95 for USians) mask filters *all* variants with high efficiency. #Omicron isn't magically smaller than the variants we had before. #WearAMask
Exponential growth is hard to grasp. So very simple: Even if #Omicron causes only 1/3 of the risk of hospitalisation compared to #Delta, when it's transmissibility is just double of Delta, you end up with filling hospitals at a very high rate. #WearAMask
Mild symptoms. Immune escape unlikely. #Omicron might not be the overhyped threat the clickbaiters hope.
The #omicron variant is proudly presented by patent and IP maximalists that violently oppose a #patentwaiver, limiting access to vaccine for those in need. In cooperation with politicians who support patents over people.
