Do Normies Dream of Electric Sleep?

From NBC Boston:

The new, highly transmissible omicron variant of the coronavirus has been detected in Massachusetts for the first time, the state Department of Public Health said Saturday.

The person is a woman in her 20s from Middlesex County who had traveled out of Massachusetts. She is fully vaccinated, had a mild case of COVID-19 and didn’t need to be hospitalized, officials said.

Pathologist Dr. Michael Misislek says now that omicron is here, we’re very likely to see even more cases of it in the coming days, and scientists are still trying to determine whether the vaccines will protect people from the new variant.

“It is spreading. It’s cause for concern. People should remain vigilant,” Misislek said. “It’s probably only a matter of weeks before the Omicron variant surpasses the Delta and does become the dominant strain.”
