12-7-2021: As Omicron continues to pop up in more states around the country, we're getting a rare good piece of news in the age of COVID-19: according to preliminary data it looks like the new variant could be a milder form of the virus. As of today Omicron has been detected in 38 nations around the globe, but the World Health Organization has yet to record a single death from the new strain. Positive development, right? Don't pop the champaign corks yet. The Fauci-ites and bureaucrats aren't surrendering any time soon.
