Life Sucks Under Omicron

Tired of lockdowns? Yearning for earlier periods of COVID? Us too. It’s a tough time to be a social person, or worse yet someone whose income relies on performing or working with others: teachers, nurses, artists, performers, everyone.

We’ve gone through the OG COVID wave, the Delta variant, and now the Omicron variant. It’s really got us thinking about how even though we were probably much more nervous before, things were far better. We didn’t know much about COVID back in March 2020, and it really seems like we still don’t, but Omicron has been an opportunity to reflect on how short the windows of “normalcy” have been.

With Omicron, if we prioritized workers’ lives we really should be heading into another lockdown, accompanied by another stimulus check. Instead, we’re all individually worried about how our individual choices may have deadly consequences to the people we care about. Yes, you have a degree of protection with however many doses of the vaccine, but in many cases it's still not enough to avoid permanent disability or death.
