It’s been reported that Omicron was relatively mild in the West because so many people are vaccinated or have had previous exposure.

In a place like Hong Kong, where relatively few people were vaccinated or previously infected, Omicron was much deadlier.

Which reinforces the idea that the decision to let it spread here was a good one I think. We have more than enough vaccines and it looks like the exposure helps too. China's policy may work against them if that's the case.
