Get Ready For More Shutdowns[image: Story 520684296]
Omicron is VERY contagious. Where I am we have doubling of cases every
three days, and that seems typical.
No matter how much politicians don’t want more closures, this is going to
overwhelm ICUs and force closures, unless politicians are willing to see
people dying in the streets (which some may be.)
So expect new closures, soon. I would suspect that most governments will
try to hold off till after Christmas, but even that may not be possible.
