Its going to be hard to stop. The "Cold" variant, and asymptomatic nature with a high as hell R-naught... folks are going to get it. Most asymptomatic given how mild it is!
Have they determined a R-naught for Omicron yet? I recall reading something that estimated Delta as 6-7, which is not that bad compared to Measles which was 15 or so. Which is insane when you think about it, 15. It means 1 person will infect 15 people, just bonkers!
I suppose the challenge with the R-naught is due to the asymptomatic folks. Might skew the true number. Omnicron must be high if viral replication occurs in the nasal area and in high numbers.... folks breathing/exhaling, sneezing, ect.
