back down by mid february. the number of cases in cities, and other areas of the community states will be quite. lowe will be left in a good place. almost everyone will have some sort of immunity, those who got a shot, some with breakthrough infections on top of that. and then the unvaccinated will get their immunity the hard way. they made a bad decision, they will almost certainly get omicron if they're not being super careful. so, i think will find our selves with a milder virus, will a high level population immunity, and in pretty good shape. how long that lasts, partly around will there be a new variant that's better at his job than omicron? i doubt it, but i doubted omicron would happen. i think we should have to wait and see. the other question is, for the unvaccinated people that got their immunity from an infection, how long does that immunity last and how robust is it? at this, point omicron is too new to know the answer to that. i'm guessing that it will last for several months, but i'm guessing that it probably won't last for several years.
