Omicron is a milder virus, does seem to lead to milder symptoms? I am here in isolation in johannesburg, south africa, after contracting the omicon verient of covered. Lot of folks have reported things like a scratchy throat, a sore throat, ear ake, congested nose, a dry cough, muscle aches and pain,. lower back pain, kind of just feeling very, very run down. And so the symptoms over all don't seem to be all that worrying. But, you know, because this disease can spread symptomatically, it's important to get tested.
