Just the various tribes waving their respective flags.

If the tentative R0 of ~3 for omicron holds, then one tribe is about to decrease in number drastically. Their bodies, their choices...

Hey, I'm interested in news (also if it's tentative) regarding info about new variants but I'm apparently not on channels where this typically pops up. Do you have a good source for that?

Edit: Wikipedia on omicron actually looks quite complete already and answered some things I was curious about, but keeping up with the edits (it's currently updated like every 20 minutes) would be a bit hard as a news source. Maybe I should just check the most interesting sections every now and then.

I read a variety of sources who are all immunologists, epidemiologists, or doctors. What I try to avoid for the most part is armchair engineer experts of all persuasions and media sorts trying to express a dynamic evolving situation as compelling soundbites.

Or best guess, and it's all just guesswork for at least the next few weeks, it's more contagious, evades the vaccines, but it's potentially less lethal. That's good and bad.
