I'm sure y'all know about the new COVID variant called "Omicron" apparently it was caused by "by picking up a snippet of genetic material from another virus - possibly one that causes the common cold - present in the same infected cells," according to researchers. The variant spread from South Africa and is currently spreading quickly through the world. Now I hope that we don't have to go through lockdowns etc. Thankfully scientists say that the omicron variant is less dangerous than the other variants, but they claim it's very contagious. This claim has risen ideas of lockdowns happening again. I don't think this would happen here is why. As you know we have been living in this pandemic type of lifestyle for two years now, and have adapted the masks, sanitizing, and social distancing. Although there are still people who decide to not follow the COVID regulation rules and still decide to break the rules, adding a lockdown people will still find ways to meet gather and have parties etc. Lockdowns in 2021 are useless and pointless even with the Omicron Varient this is just my opinion though feel free to state your opinions down below
