Omicron has got firm hold in Canada. Yesterday we had over 21,000 cases, 2.88x as much as last Thursday. Already doubled our previous highest peak in cases.
Estimates actually already put Ontario alone at 20K cases since testing is 5 days behind, people have to way almost a week to get tested. My neighbor can't go back to work until after he gets a negative test, but can't get a test until Januari 4th. We're going to have to prioritize again who gets tested as there isn't enough testing capacity available. Then you have all the asymptomatic cases on top.
We're already close to 2 million detected cases since the pandemic started, 5.3% of the population. After Omicron is done, plus all the asymptomatic undetected cases on top, it seems likely to have reached half the population by the end of Januari. Between vaccination and Omicron, there won't be many people left without some anti bodies.
My wife tested negative on the rapid test, seems she has something worse.. or the test didn't work. Still sick as a dog. Christmas dinner cancelled. I'm not feeling well either, should have pulled the kids from school a week earlier doh. (They're mostly recovered). More and more cases are getting known from the school, and probably still many unkown. The health unit has given up on contact tracing and it's now the job of those that test positive to alert people they have been in contact with. Not that it matters when it takes a week to get results.
