You don’t want to hear a skydiving instructor say, ‘Jump from the plane! You will very likely, with some exceptions, do reasonably well!'” People who are unvaccinated will do even worse though, being 10 times more likely to be infected and 20 times more likely to die, so still get those booster shots as soon as you can.

My fingers are aggressively crossed hoping this is true. “The worst of it could be over by March!” said Colbert. “And by the summer Omicron will be so out of the headlines its publicist will book it on Dancing With the Stars.” Related Related posts: Can we trust governments to tackle the climate emergency?
