COVID-19 cases cut cruise short, cancel other sailings
Cruise Ships Are Still Sailing as Cases Rise and Criticism Mounts
Every U.S. cruise with passengers has coronavirus cases on board
America Is Not Ready for Omicron
"Will the new and rapidly spreading variant overwhelm the U.S. health-care system? The question is moot because the system is already overwhelmed, in a way that is affecting all patients, COVID or otherwise," Ed Yong writes. “The level of care that we’ve come to expect in our hospitals no longer exists,” the virologist John Lowe tells Yong. The real unknown is what an Omicron cross will do when it follows a Delta jab. Given what scientists have learned in the three weeks since Omicron’s discovery, “some of the absolute worst-case scenarios that were possible when we saw its genome are off the table, but so are some of the most hopeful scenarios,” Dylan Morris, an evolutionary biologist at UCLA, tells Yong. "In any case, America is not prepared for Omicron. The variant’s threat is far greater at the societal level than at the personal one, and policy makers have already cut themselves off from the tools needed to protect the populations they serve," Yong continues. "Like the variants that preceded it, Omicron requires individuals to think and act for the collective good—which is to say, it poses a heightened version of the same challenge that the U.S. has failed for two straight years, in bipartisan fashion."
