Omicron Can Be So Mild, Americans Are Struggling To Distinguish It From A Common Cold

Many cases of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 are so mild, infected Americans are struggling to determine whether they have the virus or the common cold.

Cases of the virus are surging nationwide as the Omicron variant has become dominant in a matter of weeks. But deaths and hospitalizations are lagging behind, and many of those infected are reporting symptoms that more closely resemble a cold or the flu than a serious, deadly disease.

Ok, but does this variant still effect the heart and organs for a lengthened period of time as the original variant??

Too many unknowns with this virus and the continuous lies from Dr. Evil and our gov't. don't help matters.

We'll find that out in about 75 years..

No joke.  I could never have imagined the evilness that is taking place. It's here. I just pray for my children and grandchildren. The evilness has to stop at some point, right??

The article with the thread thinks Omicron is the one.

COVID/Omicron acting more like a common cold coronavirus...thus the new shortened CDC 5 day quarantine. More bronchitis less lung/viral pneumonia.

Stop Letting Them Test You: Breaking The COVID Construct
COVID means fear, control, and lockdowns because we’ve allowed people to make it mean fear, control, and lockdowns.

  ...  By and large, Omicron is the sniffles. A cold; maybe some aches, and the sniffles. If you live on the East Coast, you might already know more than a dozen people with Omicron and aside from an occasional fever, every one of them is fine. “But don’t forget,” the headlines blare – “a man died in Texas last week.”

Don’t you dare believe your lying eyes. “Just because the per-individual risk of severe illness may be lower,” CNN’s resident doctor politician warns, “that doesn’t mean on a societal level Omicron doesn’t pose a real risk.”

“Omicron’s cold-like symptoms mean UK guidance ‘needs urgent update,'” The Guardian newspaper screams.

“You’re looking,” the president of the United States threatened, “at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm.”  ...

And just what, again, separates this new variant from any other winter illness? Beyond fear, control, and lockdowns? Beyond Anthony Fauci’s floating head blathering on about this emergency measure or that emergency measure on TV news all day? Nothing. ...

Make no mistake.  Going forward the media will track common cold cases like they did COVID to keep the fear going in perpetuity.

No doubt.

Yes, that point is called the Last Judgement.

BTW, as an Orthodox Christian, I insist we and our parents have been living all, or almost all, of our lives in the End-Times.  We Orthodox have always understood "the one who restrains" who must be set aside before "the man of sin", meaning the Antichrist, to be revealed to be the Roman Emperor.  In a three year period from 1917 to 1920, every possible claimant to the throne of the Caesars -- the Tsar, the Kaiser, the Austro-Hungarian Emperor (part of a house that at times occupied the post of "Holy Roman Emperor") and the Ottaman Sultan (who when it suited them styled themselves Muslim Roman Emperors -- It was Ataturk who changed the name of the Ottoman capital from Constantinople to the Turkish mumbling of eis ten politas, Istanbul.  The Sultans were proud of having their seat at the old Imperial capital) -- were set aside.

Yup.  Both greater contagion and lesser virulence are adaptive for pathogens, they tend to evolve to become both.  If Omicron isn't already the variant that turns COVID into the fifth common-cold-causing-coronavirus (there had been four along with about 20 adenoviruses), the variant that displaces it will be.

"Nature's Way" for a virus is for it to become a version that doesn't kill the hosts.  The deadlier the contagion, the more likely it will become extinct as hosts become more difficult to find.

(I say "Nature's Way," but it's actually God's Way.)
