According to what I heard through the Covid update of work. Omicron settles more in the nose and not as much in the long ( their source was a doctor).

Although it's too early to be sure, it would explain both an increased transmissibility and a milder variant.

You understand that what you said is pure nonsense right?

Based on? The second part seems logical tbh and the first part actually did happen ( 1200 employees and a decent company, so I doubt their would be lies. We're no better.com ).

Also, it is similar enough to what i heard before from a conference about covid previous year.

COVID update from work is actually a weekly online meeting that started because of COVID. I forgot by now that it would sound weird for an outsider. Everything is discussed what's happening in and out of the company ( supply chain shortage, COVID variants, cyber security,...) There's a q&a if someone has questions/concerns.

It's actually a worldwide and European meeting ( so 2 times/ week for me actually) and it's a pretty good alternative for keeping company culture and bringing it somewhat online.

Yes, it's not required if you don't want to attend :)

Why is it nonsense? He meant "lung", not "long" btw.
