Ummm it’s only behind measles on how contagious it is. These omicron strains are insanely contagious. Way more than OG, alpha, delta etc.

Even though measles is more contagious, the time from infection to contagious is much longer, so covid will spread much faster than measles as well.

We’ve never had to deal with something with this combination before.

It’s still the most deadly disease out there excepting AIDS (in terms of raw numbers), even though we’re doing our best to ignore it.

The deadliness of the infection has gone down but the transmissibility is actually up, for what that’s worth.
