Omicron May Infect Half of Europeans Within Weeks, WHO Says:
More than half of Europe's population could become infected with omicron within weeks at current transmission speeds, a World Health Organization official said.
The fast-spreading variant represents a "west-to-east tsunami sweeping the region," Hans Kluge, WHO regional director for Europe, said in a briefing Tuesday.
He cited the Institute for Metrics and Health Assessment forecast that most Europeans could take it within the next six to eight weeks. The latest Covid surge has resulted in fewer symptomatic cases and lower death rates than in previous waves, fueling optimism that the pandemic may subside.

It's no worse than the flu. They have Ivermectin, Hydroxychloriquine, clorox and the latest treatment . . . urine!

Historical fact:
When pennicillin was still the latest invention and was scarce, they used to collect the urine of patients treated with penicillin because it contained enough penicillin to treat other patients.

So are you suggesting that we collect the urine of people who have had covid vaccine to treat other patients?
