I don't think I have ever felt such apprehension about a threat to human society in my lifetime. You would almost think that we have been invaded by an invisible, contageous, deadly organism---in this case Covid-19 variants Delta and Omicron---but there is an eerie feeling in the air. We're neighbors with France and to hear that 218,000 thousand people got infected in one day is quite literally off-the-charts. Can anyone put this puzzle together, because this virus doesn't seem to be like anything we've ever heard of before. The Spanish Flu Epidemic killed millions so it must have been very contageous too, but what I don't see is a light at the end of the tunnel. With most of the worlds' population unvaccinated, aren't we looking at the real possibility that a variant coming down the line will be able to overcome our vaccines? Lastly, we send our warmest Season's Greetings to health workers around the world and a bouquet of thanks to journalists and reporters and news people for keeping the world informed and we wish you all safe passage through the pandemic.

@Just_another_Euro_dude GGGGGGGGGGGGGGreat to hear from you. The 'Spanish Flu epidemic started in Kansas, USA. It took out 20 - 50 million people. What is going on now is that because people doubt their leaders and believe alternative facts, and that poor nations will never get enough of their people vaccinated, we are looking at a known unknown. We just don't know where this thing si going, and we're 24 long months into the pandemic. I'm a singer, I just want to get back on stage.

@_morgoth_ GGGGGGGGGGGGreat to hear from you. There's always going to be a solution, and you may have it. What we don't know of course is where this Omicron variant is going to lead us. We're 24 months into a pandemic that is showing no sign of letting up. My gut feeling is that we haven't seen the worst of it yet.
