Going Viral: Episode 178
Going Viral: There are two schools of thought about Omicron
In this episode:
– There are two schools of thought emerging with regard to the future of the pandemic and there is a great deal of tension between them
– Our politicians, business sector and mainstream media are very committed to the idea that Omicron is essentially the end of the pandemic – they want to open the country up now
– There are many other scientific experts who feel that it is better to be cautious and act more slowly – but their voices are being ignored
– Time will ultimately tell us which school of thought is right… OZSAGE thinks that the more cautious narrative is more likely
