Case counts in Hennepin and Ramsey counties are spiking sharply upward.  So is the surrounding metro.  And that is despite 70%+ vaccination rates.

The best bit of news I have seen is a study out of South Africa that may show that Omicron infection protects against Delta infection (but that result could be a side effect of prior covid infection that wasn't controlled for in the study).  If that proves true, then Omicron might be a non-voluntary inoculant that goes world wide in 2022 and blocks more deadly variants.

A good article on the new Antivirals that were just approved:
