We are talking about covid. The body tells you if you are really sick.

 

I am not wrong, you said folk won't die from a "lesser" strain of C19, that is guesswork....????

Wrong, the stats say 29% less chance of hospital which means less chance of death.

Why do you quote a % if folk will not die from a lesser strain...?.

Do some research on death stats.

"The risk of death is about 60% less with Omicron than with Delta."

I was thinking about taking an ATK test, but those things are useless for Omicron. 

Seems like you did have Covid-19... as you wrote, not really a big deal. 

 

ATK does work for Omicron - I’m not sure from where you got your information otherwise. 

 

ATK is not as accurate as RT-PCR. 

My Wife, Inlaws and myself all had Covid-19 about 4-5 months back (mild symptoms so we’re suspecting Omicron)....   the ATK picked it up in all of us.

Several trolling and misinformation posts have been removed, along with a bickering exchange between two members.

Yes, Omicron tends to be a non event. No sore throat, but the weird feeling of having fever, without while having normal temperature. I took Paracetamol for 3 and half days. Could have done without, but I am no masochist.

Yep I went to 711 a few times expecting high Temp's but nothing

I was in a US pharmacy today, and they were advertising a “bivalent” vaccine that was designed for Omicron. So, I got a shot.

My research on death stats show that the unvaccinated are much more likely to die from Covid.
