For the last few weeks the front page of every "news" site in New Zealand have dutifully reported that Omicron-positive people have been moving about in the community and naming "places of interest" they have visited.
Many of those places are high-volume of visitors-type places (supermarkets, highstreet restaurants etc.).
Omicron is, according to the same "news" outfits, extremely contagious.
Yet not a single "outbreak" of the virus, not even very small towns have been handicapped by people getting sick in large numbers.
All the dead bodies in the street we are constantly having to navigate through are from Alpha, Delta etc.
Could it be that Thomas Midgley Jnr. is to blame, that the quickly hushed study finding that UV and Vit. D inhibit transmission of the virus were correct and New Zealand, due to it's geographical and lifestyle advantage actually has very little to fear?
