a virus is a livng organism and it goes where it can find someone to attach itself to!it has become apparent that the newest strain,omichron, is more contagious than the delta verson or the original, but supposedly less lethal..it has been reported pfizer is now working on a vaccine for that particular strain..one has to believe we are all just "fresh meat" for this never ending virus,and even the more "elite" and those vaccinated CAN still be infected,even if in a lesser fashion..the mask wearing and precautions should continue for those flying and for those employed by the airlines..
