Omicron is less severe because it does not infiltrate the lungs – Al Jazeera English

Scientists are using the word “milder” with much trepidation to describe the illness conferred by the Omicron variant of SARS-Cov-2. It is widely accepted that even if the variant is milder, the sheer number of people it infects might lead to more hospitalisations overall, with healthcare workers having to isolate due to testing positive.

Britney Spears unfollows sister Jamie Lynn on Instagram amid ongoing rift – The Independent

As of Monday (3 January), Jamie Lynn still follows Spears on Instagram.
