Funny thing about odds - 98% seems like a really high number until you find yourself in the 2% group. If your power was 98% reliable then it would only be out about seven days each year. Sometimes 2% is not really that small.

(We don't yet know that Omicron is much less deadly than the other variants. Things numbers are pointing in a good direction but the next week or so should tell.)
It’s not just a random 2% of those who get the virus that die. That 2% is predominantly older, overweight people with multiple additional health issues. If you don’t fall into that category, then your chances of dying from Covid drop dramatically. Now it’s a fraction of 1%…
