I serendipitously came across what I think is an outstanding update on the Omicron variant...what we know as of Dec, 15th...what the likely outcomes might be...how it might influence future medical decisions...and perhaps for us, thoughts on how we should 'behave' over the Christmas and New Year holidays...
This is a streaming version of a medical "Grand Rounds Review", hosted by the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Medical School, with participation from Infectious Disease specialists from Atlanta (Emory Univ)...Boston (Mass General)...and UCSF...it lasts 1 hour, but quickly covers a great deal of what we're debating here, so even if you have to break up your viewing time into chunks, I encourage you to watch every minute.
Hope you find it informative...btw, it might be a good idea to take notes and pass on what you've learned to family and friends.
NOTE: After watching the video a second time, I'd recommend hitting the "Pause" button fairly often, especially when Dr. Del Rio is giving his presentation...lots of valuable info from essentially a "Fire Hose"...you might want to stop, look at the chart(s) and take notes...maybe even backup and re-view.
