The shift to WFH is the largest shock to labor markets in decades. Pre-pandemic WFH was trending towards 5% of days by 2022. Now WFH is now stabilizing at 30%, a 6-fold jump. In America alone this is saving about 200 million hours and 6 billion miles of commuting a week.

Big study of ~70k Covid cases showing Omicron's far lower severity of outcomes vs Delta Symptomatic hospitalisation -53% Median hospital stay length -70% ICU admission -74% Mortality -91% Major effects among both vaccinated and unvaccinated patients. https://t.co/xxxlYanRVL

Fig 5B: repeat w/ live Omicron previous pseudotype study findings that Om does not induce cell syncytia (cell-cell fusion, which is highly pathogenic/inflammatory). Fig 5D: confirm much reduced lung epithelial replication (an order of magnitude). All-in-all Om looks distinct.
