The Omicron Variant of COVID-19 Is Virtually Indistinguishable From the Common Cold, Both Genetically and in the Symptoms Caused. So Why Are the Covid Nazis Still Hounding the Unvaxxed and Disrupting the Economies of the Western Nations?

A report from Deseret News quotes Dr. Lisa Barrett, an infectious disease specialist at Dalhousie  University, saying:

"It’s not easy to distinguish symptoms of infection by the omicron variant of COVID-19 from [those of] the common cold."

"The only symptom of COVID-19 that doesn’t show up with a common cold is the loss of smell."

But there is no loss of the sense of smell with the Omicron variant of COVID-19. 

Thus, according to Dr. Barrett:

 "Getting a COVID-19 test is the best way to determine if you’re infected with the omicron variant."

But if the Omicron variant of Covid and the common cold produce virtually identical disease, who cares whether you're infected by one or the other?

More to the point, why the Hell the continued freedom-destroying, Covid-rationalized, government micromanagement of the lives of citizens when the virus has become moderated to the point of being no more than another form of the common cold?

FOOTNOTE: 

As a matter of technical interest, the article quotes  Reuters to the effect that the Omicron variant of COVID-19 is like the common cold because it has acquired a snippet of genetic material that is normally found in the common cold.

Evidence of this contention was published in early December on OSF Preprints.
