Is it possible that the majority of people simply won't get it?

Certainly this has seemed possible or even likely since the Diamond Princess, where only 20% ever got sick.

Probably many have some protection that can be breached in certain circumstances. For example Karl had many exposures with no illness but got sick after exposure and hornet stings stressing his immune system.

Neither wife, daughter, nor I had been sick this whole time. We are all unvaxxed. Mrs. Cary got ill Saturday evening and tested positive on a rapid test yesterday. Myself and daughter are still symptom free and negative, but obviously facing stronger exposure now. Was concerned went from zero to 101 fever right out of the gate, but started vitamin I, Nitazoxnide, and other supplements right away. I took a lower prophylactic dose vitamin I. She bounced between 99 and 101 yesterday, woke up this morning at 100. Fever broke mid-morning. She's had 2 doses about 36 hours in, and she says already feels better today. Hoping it is Omicron, and that coupled with treatment, it is finished quickly.

I'm ambivalent about whether I want to avoid getting or not. In a sane world you would never want to get ill, even with a low risk. But would also like to get the baseline natural immunity, before these jabs cause a more dangerous mutation. Debating whether to take a day 3 prophylactic does tomorrow if she continues to improve.

Again I would thank @Tickerguy and all the commenters here that have helped us to be well prepared to face this.

Btw, it is important to have things on hand. I have a good doc willing to prescribe stuff, but am still waiting to hear back from his office. Closed yesterday, and I called first thing this morning. Having on hand has given her at least a 48 hour jump on EARLY treatment.
