$SIA (C6L.SG)$: The omicron variant infects around 70 times faster than delta and the original Covid-19 strain, though the severity of illness is likely to be much lower, according to a University of Hong Kong study that adds weight to the early on-ground observations from South African doctors.

101848723 : What your meaning?
James Tan57 :
Meng PaPa OP : The new Omicron is spreading 70 times faster than Delta Variant, however, the fatality rate is 10 times lower than Delta Variant. Patients of Omicron Variant need not use oxygen or go to intensive care unit for rescue. Lungs also not seriously damaged. Hospital maybe flooded with Omicron Patients, as such, relevant authorities may tighten measures or borders, if necessary, to reduce hospital stress. But may not be necessary to tighten to the extent like 2020. Because, it is not life threatening.
James Tan57 101848723 : nothing to worry about
Gosu8888 : Is not fatal and just got to live with it man.

Bull Run Meng PaPa OP : For those without booster shot may be severe as scientist still not sure how this infection will do harm to the body as it can easily infected even to fully vaccinated person as the virus can disguise itself to hide from antibodies
simplyZuan Bull Run : thought so. omicron impact is mild
Meng PaPa OP Gosu8888 : Ya, will get use to it later.
Meng PaPa OP Bull Run : Until now, scientists are still unable to find any serious threat to human life, that is to say, it may not be as harmful as what it was though initially. It is the behaviour of a pandemic to start off with very fatal to very mild but more infectious than the start.
