I think there is an Omicron link

we might be in the early stages of spread of a much more contagious, much more immunity-evading, and possibly more virulent variant. If so, then christmas parties over the next fortnight (and just before you then see your elderly relatives) would be a much worse idea than if Omicron hadn't happened.

so there is a link.
