Re: Corona virus, China major city lockdowns, etc.
Conditions have changed a lot since January 2020 when this infection took off and beame a pandemic.
Many of the most vulnerable are dead now. Vast numbers of people have been vaccinated. Even more have been exposed and recovered from mild or asymptomatic natural infection by now.
Omicron is supposedly only something like 11% less pathogenic than Delta. These factors probably play a bigger role in Omicron's low effective impact... this is what herd immunity is all about.
The health care ommunity has a lot more experience with dealing with severely impacted people now as well.
