it's only 2 years and >$9T, how can you expect to have masks and contact-tracing?
You can read back through this thread and find me saying in like the summer of 2020 that mass testing was the solution to this. We've been promised from government officials since then it was coming. Guess what? Still not here.

"it's a complex problem with a simple solution..." masks, contact-tracing, public sanitation/social-distancing.

but when only one solution makes you rich, it's the only solution you'll offer.

Testing is more important than anything else. If you test everyone you can isolate the virus.

Luckily for you the CDC just said their numbers were drastically off
that's not good.
If we were seeing 90% omicron, massive cases, and no system overruns we'd have our own further evidence that we are nearing the end of this pandemic with a wave that might not be that painful.

"Earlier, they probably relied on a small number of available sequences. It should be also noted, although the confidence interval now is narrower, the range is still big, covering from 41.5% to 74%, suggesting large uncertainty,"
If we are at 50% a lot of caution on not getting sick all at once should be taken or our peak of this omicron wave might still weeks away and you don't want to be in a position of being sick while your local resources are all taken up by others in the same boat.

So my brother recovered from covid in 5 days because he's fully vaccinated, but now his also vaccinated wife has mild symptoms (fever, fatigue).

I expect those will go away in a few days as well. Because she's also vaccinated.
