Omicron marks the sixth wave of the pandemic. Our university has seen clusters spring up at dinners and events attended by students. Compared to the delta strain, the infectivity has tripled, but the severity rate has decreased to one-tenth. The incubation period to onset of mild illness has been shortened. The third vaccine dose has not been administered in time, but therapeutic agents are now available.

However, the spread of the disease to the elderly and people with complications leads to increased rates of severe illness and mortality. For 10 days, by assuming all people are infected or have been in close contact with the disease and simply avoiding meals with people other than family members living together, the number of new infections could be greatly reduced. First, let’s get through 10 days. This could make all the difference. To establish a new normal life “with corona,” believe me, this challenge will not be in vain.?
