Experts say it is likely that most Americans, at some point, will be exposed to Omicron.

Data thus far shows if exposed, those who are vaccinated are likely to avoid hospitalization or death.

Experts say those who aren't vaccinated may not fare so well.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 62% of Americans are fully vaccinated.

Merely 23% have been vaccinated and received a booster shot.

Health officials say the country must do everything in its power to maintain the functionality of hospitals and other essential services.

I think it's hard to process what's actually happening right now, which is: Most people are going to get Covid.
