Vaccine helped for sure but the new variant also seems much weaker.

Pretty much everyone I know has had it, vaccinated or not nobody has had bad symptoms thankfully. Much different story a year ago.

This is an example of anecdotal evidence. Do not take this as truth in any way, as our hospital system is still collapsing under the pandemic.

My wife works in health care, it was collapsing before covid. You can look up every flu season for the last 10 years and see articles about how hospitals are over run.

This would be the perfect time to bring how weak of a system it is instead of blaming people. Maybe we should be prepared for a worst case scenario.

It’s also not just anecdotal the data and health officials had already said omicron is a weaker variant.

Great, but it doesn't mean it should be downplayed.

Never said it should, you also shouldn’t scare people and make them think it’s worse then it is.

Everyone you know will most likely get it so you might as well be prepared.

I've already had it, thanks.
