Omicron is coming and it is going to devastate our health care system if we do not get our population boosted URGENTLY. Very likely it is already here and once established will rip through our population like nothing before. Its doubling rate is every two days, (Delta was a week.) Today the UK has 200,000 cases. Thursday it will be 400,000. It was zero on Nov 26th. We need to wake up folks this could swamp our hospitals unless we get boosted now. Why is this being ignored in Cayman????
