no other major causes of death are being ignored, as you incorrectly highlight.
health moves forward on a broad front, now correctly focussed on covid and the omicron variant.
the last thing we want is covid recombining with the original SARS or heaven forbid MERS.
IF it did, and the coronavirus is said to recombine easily with others, a Mers-style variant could see fatality rates in the 20%-40% range with omicron’s known transmissability.
covid endemic will be bad enough anyway. It’s a serious threat. We’re duty bound to try and knock it on the head.
