Waste of time if it’s more contagious than Delta. We couldn’t contain that in hotel quarantine. No chance of containing this. Quarantine camps? Probably, but Howard Springs is still the only dedicated facility.
Definite chance state borders may close again, or stay closed, if Omicron is found in Vic and NSW in the next couple of weeks until more is known.
Moderna has issued press releases indicating they’re already working on an Omicron specific booster. Pfizer and Moderna indicating 100 days to have new variant specific vaccines to market.
Antivirals should be here soon and as they target a different area they should still be effective.
