Or he said the same as the above to the administration, and they still recognized that restricting travel is good for their poll numbers and for making the public feel safe (even if it’s not going to keep this variant out of the country).
So… Jim Cramer
Ok. I don’t really know anything about Jim Cramer.

Hopefully this Omicron variant doesn’t take hold. Europe seems to be taking a turn for the worse as is.

My preliminary take, which I hope is mostly right:
1. There's no need to panic as long as it is not evading vaccines in significant numbers.
2. But the catching up of nailing the remaining unvaccinated who haven't been infected yet could cause some non-curve flattening spikes here and there.

I'm sure it's nothing a little bit of lockdown can't solve. :|

I am assured that people are excited to be back to normalcy and this will not happen. I am assured of this.

I don’t think there’s the political will nor the hope of community left to try this at the national level, or in many parts of America.

Heck, things would have to get so bad before they’d go back to remote learning at this point that lockdowns would be a moot point. It would have already saturated the community by the time they consider it.

If this or another variant ever emerges as indifferent to existing vaccines, it seems unlikely that we will achieve even the tepid amount of communal protective response or the vaccination rates that we managed with the first go round.
