#1 Useful details about the Omicron variant are rare in the media, just the usual hype and we'reallgoingtodie stuff.
Here's a recent link with some of the science associated with Omicron.
From it:

We are particularly interested in mutations that could do any of the following:
[1] Increase transmissibility;
[2] Escape our vaccines or infection-induced immunity; and/or
[3] Increase severity (hospitalization or death).

IMNSHO, only [3] matters. [2] omits natural immunity -- illustrated by people neither vaccinated nor previously infected by COVID who stubbornly refused to catch it.
The author of this piece implied travel bans are completely useless. This makes zero sense to me.

#3 Another article which might be of interest.
Most useful point in this article is "There have been a series of variants that have caused initial alarm, only to prove largely unimportant in the course of the pandemic."
That statement will most likely never appear in the MSM about Omicron or any other variant.

#4 Closing lines of this story from ZH today:

It has been pointed out that “Omicron” is an anagram of “moronic”.

One wonders if that’s deliberate and they’re making fun of us.

Moron is a term once used in psychology and psychiatry to denote mild intellectual disability. The term was closely tied with the American eugenics movement. Once the term became popularized, it fell out of use by the psychological community, as it was used more commonly as an insult than as a psychological term. It is similar to imbecile and idiot.

#7 So these ludicrous assholes decided to skip the Greek letters Nu (too risqué for francophones, je pense) and Xi (for obvious reasons).

Here's an anagram fer ye:

We Are Ruled By Sick, Full-of-Shit Morons
= Holy Omicron's Bared: Reeks Wu Flu

Does it sound like $$$$$ money changed hands along the way? Or is Spreading into the EU and UK also part of the Goal?

I guess they never heard of SEALING THE BORDERS to all Human traffic to avoid further spread???

BTW: regarding the Biden Handlers banning flights in from X # of African Countries.

Obtaining Fake Passports from neighboring non-banned countries only takes a few days and at a lot less than the cost of a cheap local Plane Ticket.
