“The lower hospitalization rate is likely due to two things: greater immunity among the public from vaccines and prior coronavirus infection, and that omicron might be slightly less severe than delta. Vaccines don't stop infections with omicron, but they do reduce the risk of hospitalization by about 70% - with a booster shot, that figure is even higher. If you're a person who has no immunity at all, no vaccination and no prior infection or your prior infection was a year and a half ago and it was mild, you're not out of the woods. There is a reasonable chance that you will get very sick with omicron.”

“China must be more forthcoming with data and information related to the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. We need to continue until we know the origins, we need to push harder because we should learn from what happened this time in order to (do) better in the future.”

“When I go to the store this afternoon, what helps me is to know how much COVID is in my community. There will not be one state of the pandemic. There will be different states for different people and for different regions. And that's going to be the way it is for the foreseeable future.”

“We've overcome crises multiple times so far, but we are now having another crisis as another level. The number of new patients, critical patients and deaths are all increasing, and we are running short of hospital beds. If we fail to overcome this crisis, our attempt to return to normality may gradually fail. We need more vigilance and a united response more than ever. The urgent task is to have people get their third shots as soon as possible. We need to change the perception that the third shot is additional, to making it basic, and getting this third shot constitutes full vaccination.”

“It is hard to say that the global effort in fighting against coronavirus has gone up in smoke. Two weeks of data and lab materials are needed to make a precise judgment of the new variant. The vaccination rate in South Africa, where the new variant caused a jump in infection, is very low, with just 24 percent of fully vaccinated individuals. If the situation [in South Africa] occurred in Israel [where more than 80 percent are vaccinated], then undoubtedly, we would say the world is facing another round of a tough COVID-19 fight.”

“Vaccines can reduce the transmission of the virus, its severe complications, and its death rate, though it will continue to mutate and linger. However it could pose less danger over time and become something more akin to a seasonal flu. Humans must eventually learn to live with the COVID-19 virus.”

“It's really anti-Trudeau; it's not anti-Liberal, it's not just anti-state, it really is almost ad hominem attacks on Trudeau. Far-right groups have been able to co-opt and exploit mainstream concerns around the coronavirus and weave them into their own narrative. There are multiple intersecting sentiments coalescing and it is a loose coalition, it appears that there's no sort of central organising force [behind the recent protests]. It's a bunch of individuals connected by those anxieties and connected by the targeting of Trudeau.”
