why has omicron peaked, subsided, and almost gone away in many places?
Being bored and having a rather large 3rd beer in my hand I'll guess.
From what I have read in the past.... mutations can happen in both the non-vaccinated and in the vaccinated directly due to less than adequate vaccinations. Though of course mutating does not always mean for the worse.
As far as why omicron is on its way down, I'd say because:
1) viruses tend to get weaker the longer that they are around
2) omicron spreads quickly and easily and as such has effectively vaccinated more people that would have never received the shot.
Soon it will be like a regular cold and as I said earlier, we will have it around for the long haul.
Anyhow, Im glad to hear that new masking regs are coming out soon and maybe we won't have to get tests on future trips back to the states.
