Description

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
