Hope you are having a good Christmas. We are, over-all, but it has been bruised. One of our teen-aged greatgranddaughters tested positive for covid the other day. So, we did another gift-unwrapping by internet, as we have done before. It is not as good but it may help.
Several sources say that the omicron variant is far better at spreading but seems less severe in most cases. We'll see. We have all been fully vaccinated and boosted so that's good. We have gotten the idea that being vaccinated may lessen the severity of covid.

In the mid-1300s, a plague known as the Black Death claimed the lives of roughly 200 million people —more than 50% of the global population at that time
I understand that if a person is ill, hearing about a worse case situation may be very little help. But the figures I have seen say that covid deaths have not reached a million total worldwide, even though death is only one variable and something that affects you personally may be beyond numbers.
