Home COVID tests are in high demand...don't delay...go out and get yours ASAP...Omicron is SUPER
contagious...for even the currently vaccinated (w/o a Booster shot)...and certainly a threat to the unvaccinated.
Popular brands at a reasonable price (~$25) are "BinaxNOW" and "QuickVue"...available in most pharmacies.
Of course, get vaccinated with an mRNA vaccine...and this now means a 3rd shot ("Booster").

Omicron is indeed a SUPERBUG to some. The latest official report from Denmark shows that (PDF)
The latest Omicron cases percentage in Denmark (see Table 4 in it's report):
Boostered: 10.8%
Vaccinated: 79%
1-shot vaccinated: 1.8%
Totally, the vaccinated accounts for over 90% Omicron infections (10.8,%+79%+1.8%=91.6%).
Unvaccinated: 8.5%

Eli, this is exactly why I posted the UCSF Grand Rounds video...they talk about Denmark and Omicron,
please do yourself a favor and watch it...in it you'll find that having 2 vaccine shots protects a fair amount for today's leading variant in the U.S., i.e. "Delta"...BUT, they provide almost ZERO protection against the on-coming Omicron variant...they actually display charts showing the vaccine 'neutralization' effect on each prominent COVID-19 strain/variant, right from the start of the pandemic...including the B.1.1.529 (Omicron).
The Grand Rounds video also makes clear that those who have 2 mRNA shots, PLUS a Booster, are fairly well protected (~75%) against getting infected, and if infected, extremely good protection against hospitalization or worse...seems like a "No-Brainer" choice, doesn't it...Oh, and they also say that those who have already contracted the virus, have NO immunity against Omicron...BUT...BUT...if those people get an mRNA shot, they become "SUPER IMMUNE"...their words, not mine...so again...GET VAXXED!...(FULLY).
I'm literally just trying to help you and others...no other reason.
Did those experts tell you if a varriant shows it's preference on vaxxxe that's the 1st sign of ADE?

Eli, I thought you had some smarts...but the fact that you don't know what you're talking about
shows you don't...plus, the fact that you couldn't find the time (30 seconds it took me) to do a little research into this topic and COVID, that blows your assertion out of the water, shows you to be lazy as well...do (much) better...
btw, there are several documents/reports that say the same thing about the COVID vaccines and ADE...Google them.
This is important stuff, put some effort into it.

Calm down, Ty. Did I say the 1st sign? There're 2nd sign & 3rd sign... I hope you are cautious on
to vaccine as same as you are cautious on covid virus. Keep balance.
P.S. 1. please don't link old stuff on new varriant. 2. I don't google for research. I have my own resources to do research. I Google for casual things.
LOL...I wrote those comments quite calmly...the fact that you're not defending yourself is a "Tell"
as to their accuracy...in case other observers don't understand, here's a "MedPage" excerpt on this topic..(see link for full article)
"Furthermore, ADE is an acute problem, and it can be very dramatic. If it was an issue with these vaccines, we would have spotted it by now, said Brian Lichty, PhD, an associate professor in pathology and molecular medicine at McMaster University in Toronto."
"It'll kill you quickly. In all the places I'm aware of ADE happening, it is an acute, mostly cytokine-driven event," he told MedPage Today."
/No one with the knowledge you purport to have would make "mistakes" like this...for whatever reason, your posts are nothing more than "Mis-information" on a life-and-death issue...why you do this only you can answer...

Getting so defensive may be your calm nature, not mine. I guess
Denmark's latest report: 90+% of Omicron case is vaccinated, less than 10% is unvaxxxed. That's the only thing we agreed. Wait, that's not a thing, that's a fact.
You are dedicated to your cause, but let's not lose sight of the more important fact that ICUs are
filled with UNVACCINATED patients...so it would take a monumental turn of events for ADE to suddenly show up and kill hundreds of thousands (in the U.S., and millions globally)...the kinds of numbers that are being SAVED by vaccines RIGHT NOW...(emphasis made to try and get through your thick cranium ;-))
We just got our booster today…
Common sense is a good thing. Merry Christmas
Thanks...Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Just trying to help my fellow board members...all the concerned people are buying up those home test
kits...as the article I linked shows. btw, once the Pfizer therapeutic oral pills are available they'll need to be taken within 3 days of infection/symptoms, so having home test kits will be essential for keeping folks out of the hospital...or worse.
Again, just trying to help...what are you doing?
We ordered 16 kits. Arrive next week.
Encourage everyone to also have oximeters on hand.

One thing I'll criticize the Biden administration for...not "Flooding" the country with at-home test
kits...a couple of billion dollars spread out to each state and county for distribution and underwriting of home test kits would be an extremely wise expenditure...especially now with Omicron barreling down upon us...heck, if we can pony up a trillion for other projects, this should certainly qualify...(yes, you can bookmark this post of mine ;-)).
Also, a normal-sized family could easily use double-digit test kits over the holidays...get yours before it's too late.
