Apparently, Sotto had several close calls during the pandemic and reiterated how the latest variant spreads faster. He added, “Naka-ilang close calls ako sa Delta (gaya nung sa driver ko mismo) pero ‘di ako nahawaan. Matindi talaga ang pagkalat ng Omicron.  sabi nga ng ibang eksperto, LAHAT TAYO ay mae-expose sa variant na ito,” he emphasized.
