Omicron is like Colds

One of my Chinese adult matrones are keeping on telling me that 'omicron' is just like the common colds. We just need to recuperate and let the course of this virus in our bodies. I sometimes feel stressed with her because it is not allowed for the virtual teachers in the company. To light the way, I always call her attention to this concern to stop. My common statement is, 'Sorry to tell you, but I cannot say anything about this issue.' She still insisted that Hong Kong people are in a difficult situation because of the high incidence of coronavirus. So the borderline was closed for them to enter Shenzhen, China.
How can you exit yourself with a chatterbox?

I think she is right, as much as Covid was really just a superflu. It is what it is. I hope we never fall over the deep end again the way we have fallen over the deep end on this one. I have written fiction for many years, and I never could have come up with something as ridiculous as this entire thing.

There are some people who were not recorded during this pandemic.

In your facility, is everyone vaccinated?

@flapiz But why are there healthcare workers who don't want to? I mean, not just here or in the UK, but all over the world.

Omicron is one of the variant to Covid. It’s in the Covid family and not it’s not like a cold because most common cold we do have antibodies already for so our symptoms are not as rough. Omicron does hit kids a lot harder then adults. The adults seem to rebound quicker.
It’s not worth fighting people on because they will hardly want to see your side of things. It’s not worth the energy that I could use for something else.

@Shavkat if the lesson has nothing to do with it there is no point talking about it unless a student ask about them I can see explaining things or privately talking to that student

@ShyBear88 I agree. I stopped her and reminded that it is not the lesson.

Sometimes there's no response for people who continue to just talk and talk

I think I would just keep saying the same thing. Hopefully, in time she'll get the message.
