Danish Senior Epidemiologist: ‘Omicron Spells End Of Pandemic, ‘We Will Have Normal Lives In Two Months’
Krause, the chief epidemiologist at Denmark’s State Serum Institute – said on Danish TV that a new study has found that the risk of hospitalisation from Omicron is half that seen with the Delta variant. Krause believes that the infection will subside during the coming months, despite current widespread Omicron infections.
The study stressed that ‘Omicron is here to stay, and it will provide some massive spread of infection in the coming month. When it’s over, we’re in a better place than we were before.’
Krause hopes that the infection will provide high levels of immunity without leaving too serious symptoms.
Mrs. Krause stressed that there was still work to be done to beat the pandemic in the coming months, however.
‘Omicron will peak at the end of January, and in February we will see declining infection pressure and a decreasing pressure on the health care system,’ she said.
‘But we have to make an effort in January, because it will be hard to get through.’
The epidemiologist said Danes should continue to follow measures to help slow the spread of Omicron, including good hygiene, social distancing where possible, and staying at home when symptoms present themselves.
Omicron’s increasing spread will continue to put pressure on Denmark’s healthcare system, she said. ‘This is definitely what will be the challenge in the future.’
Professor Lars Østergaard, chief physician at the Department of Infectious Diseases at Aarhus University Hospital, also looked towards the end of the pandemic in comments made on January 1.
He said that while the coronavirus will not be characterised as a pandemic forever, it will likely never fully disappear.
I never think we’ll ever wave goodbye to the corona,’ he said.
‘But we want such a good immunity in the population – partly because of new vaccines, partly because people have been infected – that we can handle it as another of the infections we know that come especially in the winter months.’
Mrs. Krause agreed, saying: ‘In the long run, we are in a place where coronavirus is here, but where we have restrained it, and only the particularly vulnerable need to be vaccinated up to the next winter season.’
Ms Krause’s optimistic comments came three days after the World Health Organisation made a similarly hopeful statement about Omicron.
‘If we put an end to inequality, we will put an end to the pandemic and the global nightmare that we have all gone through,’ WHO chief Tedro’s Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a speech on New Years Eve.
But the WHO also warned warned of trying times ahead, saying Omicron could lead to ‘a tsunami of cases’.
‘This… will continue to put immense pressure on exhausted health workers, and health systems on the brink of collapse,’ Ghebreyesus said.
Experts and non-experts alike hope that 2022 may be remembered as a new, less deadly phase of the pandemic.

So they'll usher in the next...they already told us wht it will be....
Let's be honest, believe they (ptb's) are aware the world populations are waking up and realizing what's going on, so they now put on their good cop hats by slowing down their agenda, so people could go back to a normal life, but beware, they will not give up so easily on their agenda. We, as Yehudim must wake up and realize there is no one else but Hashem and do as much teshuvah as we can and show HIM that we have total Emunah/Bitachon just in HIM, our Father in Heaven, and HE will do the rest and totally Redeem us!
