Yes, nobody here is dismissing anything. I took great pains to make that clear in my original post. That is why I used the word “scary.”

It is also important to find hope when that hope is well-founded. We do have good reason, rooted in research, to be hopeful that Omicron and vaccination are mitigating the terrible health effects of Covid. Not to •rely• on that, but to be •hopeful.• I do believe that it is possible to be both prudent and hopeful at the same time.
