COVID-19 Outbreak Information Updates (Reboot) [over 150.000,000 US cases (est.), 6,422,520 US hospitilizations, 1,148,691 US deaths.]
I've only known 2 people personally who have gotten Omi. Both are from work. One upper 40s... one lower 60s. Both said they could have come back to work with it. Just felt like a bad cold.
I don't think you have friends, man.
I don't even want to try to count how many people I know personally who got omicron, but I'll throw out a few.
A business acquaintance of mine in her 30s got it, then her husband who is 40 got it, then their three kids, all under 10, got it.
A close friend and his wife (both 20s) got it.
My wife in her 30s got it. I got sick the same week but never tested positive, but it was a pretty big coincidence.
Three close colleagues (50s, 40s, 20s) at work got it.
A former student (20) got it.
My pastor (30s) and his whole family got it, as well as a guy in the church in his 40s that got it, a girl in her late 20s that got it.
And then my mom's friend in her 50s that got it and passed.
This is just me spitballing off the top of my head. If I kept going, this list would grow. So many people were affected by this wave.
