    Omicron variant is highly contagious, but does not produce severe disease. Sorethroat, bodyache and mild fever is commonly seen which can be managed symptomatically. It is highly impossible to prevent infection now. The night curfew, the weekend curfew, closing schools and colleges may not help. Infection by Omicron will help to get natural immunity, may be there is no need of further vaccination. Antibody survey might decide about the need of vaccination. This is the reality. We have to accept it.

    FYI in Israel they have found that even the second booster is not able to thwart the omnicorn mutatant so they are recommending a third booster jab.

    If one uses delta boosters for omicron ? Will it work ? As Omicron booster only after March 22. So the testing going on by evil BigPharma in Israel first, then rest of the world get it. By the time rest of the people will be getting herd huminity and omicron booster will be generating another strain so the cycle goes on. That is what about china virus and vaccines all about.

    Nobody can say when the virus will stop mutating and become very mild; till then forget about herd immunity!! Whoever told you that vaccination will produce herd immunity?

    It is herd mentality that has gripped 90% people that's pushing them to offer themselves and their kids as experimental guinea pigs to the vaccine mafia funded and manipulated by Bill Gates. Common cold is seasonal and everyone will get it as it always used to but our gullible people aren't using their brains to join the dots and are pushing themselves and their kids in harms way.

    Dear DC closing one or two schools is not the answer. We are very much aware there are many more private schools which are not revealing covid cases in schools. How will you monitor this. Instead of playing with the lives of children and students it would be a wise decision to close all schools for a a week or two. Hope good sense will prevail.

    I wonder what is the need to wear this PPE when billions are infected. They make it look so scary.
