It's a reasonable reaction. I had the same at first
There is also some relevant history to consider. Earlier questions from that user were very broad - often asking half a dozen vaguely related questions in the one post. Feedback changed that so we see more focussed questions now albeit more of them
Somewhat related, the change so a question up vote awards 10 and a down vote only -2 means reputation score is more of a measure of participation these days
I assume that everybody will contract the ommicron variant eventually. There is no null-Covid strategy to get through the pandemic. Cases soaring in China and North Korea seem to prove the point.
@JohnK.N. Who knows what's going on in NK but China seems committed to keeping C-19 out. Last I saw cases were declining in China? Unless you mean Taiwan, which has adopted a different strategy.
@McNets I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, it is good that new treatments are becoming available. OTOH pricing and availability seem quite unfair. At some stage you'd think the big pharmaceutical companies would have made a decent return on their investment and would turn to making as much as possible available to whomever needs it at cost.
@PaulWhite "Taking the pills within this window has been shown to lower the risk of severe illness...", by now the risk of severe illness is really low. There are no Covid cases in our hospital/ICUs. And there are some, (not really good), secondary effects. Maybe is not the best choice right now, but obviously help is always welcome.
@McNets Do you mean it is spreading rapidly or a severe illness? Aggressive is probably the right word but it could mean either of those things, even both.
@PeterVandivier No, it's already available in a comment. I invested time converting one link-only answer and didn't have the energy for the OP's one as well.
Perhaps. I took that to be a useful critique of something in the question rather than an attempt to answer. Not my expert area so I was conservative (for me).
