Could Omicron help end the covid19 pandemic?

Asked by JLeslie (65408points) December 4th, 2021 from iPhone

Maybe it won’t be Omicron and maybe covid19 will still be circulating in significant numbers, but it seems maybe Omicron isn’t as deadly. I haven’t heard a lot of severity and fatality stats, have you?

I’m just thinking if a very contagious, but not very deadly, variant starts to spread and take over, will it displace the more deadly ones? Especially, if people who catch Omicron build immunity against more deadly covid19’s.

Have you read or heard anything along these lines?
