Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year
As for the virus, as a healthcare professional actively involved in it, here are my expectations:
The virus intention is to spread and multiply not to kill his host, only a stupid virus kills its own host, such a virus is doomed unless it has an animal reservoir where it can hide and thrive in animals that don't get sick while harboring it like Ebola.
The expected evolution of COVID is towards a rather harmless highly transmissible virus, Omicron seems to fit here
Omicron loves living in the nasal mucosa much more than the lungs= it rarely kills and transmits better, so basically it is acting like a "contagious vaccine" if Omicron isn't the strain then another strain will just do that
so everyone will end up getting the virus but it will become just a flu, just like what happened with influenza, it is here to stay
But it will become much milder
Expect the upcoming flu shots to include both COVID and influenza in the same injection that will become annual.
There should be more COVID than flu cases in 2022 however COVID will be not worse than a flu, to be confirmed by ongoing studies.

Thanks Toni ...... lets hope your right !! ..... and again for your personal efforts .
