    Well the 90% vaccination rate probably will help to reduce the prevalence of Delta, but omicron looks to be so infectious and so common in the vaccinated I can't see the vaccinated having any positive influence on infection rates.

    Luck? That would depend on an individuals risk profile, age and comorbidities. A person can have a high risk of developing serious covid symptoms and be lucky in not catching the virus or it only being a mild infection. Similarly one can have a low risk of serious complications or even be up to date with the vaccine and have bad luck. The evidence is in the media.

    A thought I had today, not sure if others have expressed it as I don't read most of the posts is that it seems to me omicron being so infectious and prevalent, there must be gazilloins of this virus replicating every day, increasing the level of mutation. Will it become endemic, will boosters become essential, and still people face multiple infections yearly? It occurs to me Omicron or other variants could be a threat long term by its persistence. What are the health implications of boosters and multiple infections of mild covid?
