#COVID19 record cases—deaths are quickly rising too. Broadway shows are cancelling abruptly again. I’m cancelling trips myself. The#Omicron wave will hit hospitals hard—pray for doctors, nurses & respiratory therapists over the holidays.#MaskUp#GetBoosted Stay safe

My lame attempt at some perspective on the new
#Omicron variant. The Delta variant had an R0 (R - naught) rate of up to 8 additional people infected for each contact. Measles, one of the most infectious diseases known, has an R0 rate of 18. Omicron’s R0 seems well above 50. pic.twitter.com/kKWAo1d8Er

Don’t wait for the Government, if you are able to, lockdown now. We’re in big trouble.

6) My sources say that folks inside the CDC are whispering that
#Omicron is now **as contagious or more contagious than MEASLES**. We epidemiologists have been muttering it for a week. I haven’t heard any CDC or govt official admit on
yet. They should —people need to hear it.Показване на тази нишка -
BREAKING—Imperial College study finds #Omicron could be **just as severe** as the Delta strain, according to early findings from researchers at Imperial College London.
All those who said “it’s mild” need to think about how many they have endangered.

FASTER HOSPITALIZATION WITH
#Omicron—Latest data on hospital admissions in London (
Omicron epicenter) shows Omicron wave is sending patients to hospitals sooner in 6 days than versus Delta (9-10 days). And the model suggests similar severity, not “milder”.

Normally the COVID testing center in my neighborhood has 2-3 people lined up outside of it to get tested. This is what it looks like today. Happening across NYC...

So, let’s get prepared for the
#OMICRON wave. You will need: 1. Thermometer 2. Pulse oximeter (oxygen monitor) 3. To Watch this 2 min vid. And remember, don’t delay contact. If you are worried get in touch with your healthcare provider!#CareForCovidpic.twitter.com/aXH1Mq7pNm -

#Omicron is so transmissible it's absolutely wild. Forget airborne, this thing seems to spread by telepathy - feels like you can catch it just by THINKING about it. -
#Omicron update from Denmark: approx. 34% of all cases were Omicron on the 14th of December. Cases are rising too fast and the government is introducing new restrictions to slow the spread today. 1/5 pic.twitter.com/mfpYYgwZT2

If I wasn’t sure how virulent
#Omicron is - I sure do now: friend went to a popular Toronto bar over the weekend. Seeing sheer # of people, she left. All her friends (fully vaxxed) who stayed now have covid. They are mid-20s healthy. Loss of taste and smell, have other symptoms. -
Sending
to everyone in London who is actually trying their best to stay safe at the moment - especially frontline & healthcare staff.
And as for the protestors… you’ve possibly done one of the worst things at the epicentre of an #omicron surge

Johnson - maskless and now clearly encouraging his little helpers in the media to frame
#Omicron as a showdown between him and the scientists - is to blame for these loons. pic.twitter.com/bEfztWs0Si -
One way to think about severity: If
#omicron turns out to be inherently 3 or 4 times milder than Delta, then we are still facing a virus that is probably about as deadly as the one we faced in early 2020 (before Alpha and Delta increased severity) - but spreads much faster.Показване на тази нишка -
1 of 3: Is
#Omicron intrinsically less virulent? This table for South Africa shows that since 20 November, the hospitalisation fatality rate is dropping for all ages. data source: https://www.nicd.ac.za/diseases-a-z-index/disease-index-covid-19/surveillance-reports/daily-hospital-surveillance-datcov-report/ …pic.twitter.com/bA41wZKWa9
