Exactly. And it's getting worse. The experts should be calm and objective, instead many of them are spreading fear. They are exaggerating and some times they spread misinformation to promote their agenda.
I'm not an expert, but it should be clear than there is one reason why the current wave of omicron in the States is worse than in Europe. Everything else is just secondary. Vaccines. You need the booster shot to be reasonably protected against severe illness. Only 26 % of the US population has the booster. This is much higher in Europe. Who's fault is it? Those who do not get vaccinated. It's that simple.
