The issue right now is lack of data, so it makes people panic, sometimes for no reason. At the same time that doctor from south africa defined the mild symptoms for the tracked omicron cases, several were vaxed, young, and healthy. Also other doctors were showing the fact that South Africa is currently in a rising wave of hospitalizations, though its not known the variant yet. There should be more data in 1-2 weeks so hopefully it will be nothing major and we can go on with our lives. My gut feeling is that, this won't be worse than Delta variant.
