Israel is starting out a 4th booster...which would seem to indicate that 3 vaccines aren't stopping Omicron either. Soon Everyone will have Omicron and yes, some Drs are saying that may end the pandemic.

you can get a rapid antigen test. The LCBO in Ontario gave out thousands of kits for free... they can be found on eBay and Kijiji for $80-$100. per kit.

@foghornleghorn2445 yeah, i wondered about that....apparently from the interviews a lot of ppl weren't sick, they just wanted the tests because they were curious. All the best to you and yours!!

Waterloo U did a study before Omicron....cloth masks are 5% effective, paper are 9.6% effective, KN 95's are 46% effective. Remdesivir didn't work all that well....Merck has admitted that their pill is about 30% effective. Pfizer's pill is better and works the same way Ivermectin does. (it blocks an area of the cells that the virus uses to hook on to the cells.)

Israel is rolling out a 4th booster. At the rate the west is getting vaccinated, most ppl in the 3rd world have no chance of getting even one vaccine.

Omicron has picked up a piece of cold virus...you still have your sense of taste and smell, but you have a runny nose, headache and you're tired. The best thing to do would be to let it run rampant and let everyone develop immunity to it. So far, unvaxxed, double vaxxed and natural immunity ppl are catching it....and now Israel seems to be indicating that a 3rd booster won't help either. Drs who actually work with covid think it's possible that everyone getting Omicron could end the pandemic.

oops! Israel is recommending a FOURTH booster to fight Omicron. That's 4 vaccines per year. Pfizer is happier than pigs in mud. Canada is following other countries. ..... almost no one in the ICU's, and no dead so far. (South Africa, where it started in early November, has had 38 die with covid. so far. ) Yes, there will be 10,000 cases a day.... the ppl will be at home, with a runny nose and a headache.
