We are facing the most serious crisis of the pandemic and yet no one wants to talk about it.
As a scientist, I am at a loss to understand why we have no mention of the urgent need to ramp up our booster campaign in all our local media. It is surely not lost on you that with a doubling time of two days [for the Omicron variant], we are on the verge of a potential national disaster which we could right now be mitigating.
Clearly there is little political appetite locally to either give or receive bad news. But we are sleepwalking into a potential catastrophe and every day this continues is another day wasted that we will come to regret in the coming weeks.
We need you to speak out. This is more important than politics.

With how very low the death rate of this omicron variant is, 1 reported, it is not much different than the common cold.
95% of Covid cases are now of the Omicron variant. This variant is the most mild variant with symptoms described as more of a cold. I know several people who have had both variants, and they confirm (along with the CDC) that it is much milder. So on that note, what is this “catastrophe” Mr. Snow is speaking of? His letter reads to me as a means of sparking more paranoia and fear unnecessarily.
