Interested to know what preparations she has in mind. I personally am preparing for major disruption of goods and services, just by how bad things already are where I live, the sheer number of under/un-vaccinated, and how many people are actively ignoring it.

Many things constantly out of stock, and items I ordered 6 weeks ago not due to arrive until the end of January. Customer service email: “we’re short staffed b/c of COVID and can’t answer you.” That’s all pre-Omicron.
So I’m expecting this 👆🏻but much worse.
Also China, which makes everything we buy, has a zero COVID approach. Meaning, they shut down and isolate everyone when a case is found. Don’t know if they’ll keep it in face of Omicron, but this is another reason I’m bracing for disruption.
By disruption, I mean inability to obtain goods or services because of the sheer number of people who are too sick to perform services or make goods, or the lack of supplies to perform services.
