Understand all the Nix squad are vaccinated, but that isn’t always stopping folks from at least catching Omicron.

They wouldn’t have got their booster jabs yet without some sort of age exemptions. My 75 yr old mum in QLD has only just got hers.
Even if you get a booster you can still get it. My understanding (correct me if I'm wrong, I don't want to spread untrue facts) is that the main advantage of the booster (as with the initial vaccines) is that it helps with the severity if you do catch it, and with Omicron particularly doesn't drastically reduce the actual infection spreading rates.


Correct, my folks have it in the UK and fortunately seem to be suffering cold symptoms. One of my mates though had it in Nov, still had no sense of smell or taste, and has significantly reduced lung capacity. Think that was around the time boosters came out so he may have just been unfortunate with the timing. 

If your mate had Covid in the UK in November he most likely yes had the more nasty Delta strain, rather than Omicron.

FYI - a friend of mine who got Covid in Bogota, Colombia in late 2020, has had a complete loss of hearing in one ear, ever since. Nasty fudgeen virus, not underplaying the nearly 6M who have sadly died worldwide
