Everyone you know is catching COVID-19. The Omicron variant of the coronaviruses has caused a surge in cases that have disrupted nearly every facet of everyday life again.
Omicron appears to be more infectious than previous versions of the virus. Some experts think that it is the fastest spreading virus in human history.
The Black Death, the most fatal plague ever recorded, was caused by the Omicron variant, according to the medical historian and director of the Basque Museum of the History of Medicine and Science.
Erkoreka said that it was the most-explosive and fastest-spreading virus in history.
The variant is the most rapidly spreading virus among the ones we have been able to investigate, according to William Hanage, co-director of the Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics at Harvard University.
The cultural context of the Pandemic is important. The Black Death was spreading in Medieval Europe, where travel was rare.
Omicron is the most popular variant of COVID in the US. Health experts have found that it is causing less deaths than previous versions.
El Pais reports that a number of factors, including higher vaccination rates, can greatly diminish any impact infections can have, and how the virus primarily invades the upper respiratory tract instead of the lungs.
It may only be a matter of time before the number of deaths catches up if we continue to let Omicron run rampant.
There is some hope. The variant has begun to decline in the region, according to current signs. The unmitigated disaster that occurred last year will hopefully be avoided with testing and boosting efforts being pushed more in the US.
Who knows. If we have learned anything from the two years of healthcare system turmoil, it is that people can be careless about public health.
People are pinning Betty White's death on the booster.
