“Mild” but hospitals overloaded.
“Mild” but healthcare workers burnt out.
“Mild” but thousands of flights cancelled.
“Mild” but no booster shots for kids in under-ventilated schools.
“Mild” brain damage.
“Mild” collapse of society.
…“Mild” my ass.

2) Oh hey… who needs to smell or taste anything anyway… who needs joy. It’s “MILD”… 👇
3) I love how those who dismiss COVID as mild always eventually fall back to arguing what they really care about… the $$$… #DontLookUp is the most brilliant movie 🍿 of our times.
4) Whoever says “mild” is also arrogantly and idiotically throwing our children our future generation UNDER THE BUS! 1 year record high #COVID19 hospitalizations. 👇
5) The @CDCgov lost a lot of credibility this week with their isolation rule change—something that will take a long time to earn back. The “mild” narrative has even been used by CDC recently and extremely damage. They should know better and do know. We need better leadership.
6) If hospitalizations in England are running significantly ahead of projected forecasts (more people being hospitalized & sooner than expected)… does the “it’s mild” narrative even hold up anymore? Besides hospitalizations ignore #LongCovid
7) “mild”… so so “mild” in England. And there is risk of #Omicron being a serious factor in #LongCovid among all survivors.

8) we are honestly sleepwalking into a disaster which we haven’t seen before in the coming weeks. It’s not just healthcare infrastructure grinding to a halt… I honestly think we should stock up on supplies for the next month….
9) We are STILL in deep denial how bad #Omicron will overload hospitals and trip up society in the coming weeks as more and more get sick. It’s a 2.0 virus in completely different league - it’s a 2.0 pandemic and we need to WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!
P.s. go watch #DontLookUp
10) if you ignore your mild case of Omicron - it could domino into a not-mild case of Omicron in a friend or family of neighbor who is vulnerable. Think of others!
11) Exactly what I said above… #Omicron “mild” talk is a critical Trojan horse for #LongCovid — Fauci says there’s no data to suggest Omicron is milder for Long COVID than Delta variant 👇
12) This looks like a completely “mild” crisis in hospitals. Totally normal. Nothing to write home about. But hey, “catastrophe is an understatement” = mild, right? No- don’t buy into the selfish “#Omicron is mild”
13) Everyone who had wildly proclaimed and touted that “Omicron is mild” to let the virus rip— now HAVE BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS… seriously people — how many people did we let die with that mild nonsense?!?!
