> the point I am making which is that it won’t keep growing.
And what I'm saying to you is that nobody believes otherwise. It's all known that diseases are self-limiting, and infection rates follow an s-curve and eventually drop off. This isn't a groundbreaking revelation.
In my experience the majority of people assume that exponential growth means a small increase in spread rate means and exponentially larger number of people will be infected, and that “everyone” will get omicron. I’m not claiming to have a novel epidemiological insight. I’m claiming that most people get this wrong and are panicking about omicron because they don’t get this.
