Does anyone feel like the covid situation is becoming more dangerous? Can't say I do.

Important to keep taking sensible precautions of course but given I've been cheek by jowl with 27,000 people at CR on numerous occasions recently - and there have been no reported big spikes - I don't feel *too* worried. So I'm surprised to hear that people are cancelling Christmas do's etc on the basis of a theoretical risk from Omicron.

Is it just me?
