This narrative is exactly what I was worried about👇

We still don’t know #Omicron causes less severe disease but has become so politicized leaders say it only causes a “sore throat” without thinking of the immediate & long term (post #COVID19 condition #LongCovid) effects
#COVID19 and #Omicron most certainly does not only cause a “sore throat” we are seeing ⬆️⬆️ numbers of ICU admits and hospitalizations.
Yes some may have mild disease (thank you #vaccines) but these people can still transmit and put others (ie immunecompromised) at high risk.
The strain this is putting on healthcare systems and workers is tremendous.

Procedures that are non-emergent like cardiac catheterizations, biopsies, & other important surgeries are being postponed. This may lead to delays in diagnosis of things like cancer & adverse outcomes.
