COVID-19: Current state of affairs, Omicron, and a search for the end game
Wow! What a crazy year that was! I've been wanting to write an article for over a year but with sifting through so much conflicting content it felt like I'd end up writing a book! I still have many questions that don't have concise or satisfactory answers in my opinion. So instead I thought you might want to listen to much cleverer people than me discussing some interesting topics, including why "2 weeks to flatten the curve" has turned into 2 years with no end in sight.
In saying that I do feel tides are changing and I'm optimistic about how this year will unfold. This podcast addresses some of the questions I find myself asking, and I felt it is a balanced discussion that includes what is known about the omicron variant, the risks and benefits of vaccines for all age groups. It also discusses the seemingly taboo subject of natural immunity and the protection it offers against infection and severe disease.
I hope you find it informative, I certainly did.
Cheers,
Rich
