"In an even better world than that, we’d have run challenge trials the moment Omicron was detected"

I personally would have spent the first week of December figuring out how to home-brew an Omicron-tailored booster if I were at-risk.

Recommend reconsidering the 80% chance that Omicron will displace Delta.

Appears that Omicron and Delta will co-exist.  Prior Delta infection clearly does not provide much protection against Omicron infection.  Converse is likely, as well.

Up until now Variant-share has been winner-take-all.  From now on we will have at least two.
