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 -

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 -

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. https://www.ft.com/content/48931667-cbb5-481d-acef-b2263bb74f80 …pic.twitter.com/RbKdXl0RUr

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...

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. -

#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 as a showdown between him and the scientists - is to blame for these loons. pic.twitter.com/bEfztWs0Si -

#Omicron intrinsically less virulent?

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 -
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.Visa denna tråd -

Nur mal kurze Frage: Eigentlich alle Länder um uns herum erhöhen die Schutzmaßnahmen. Bei uns ist wohl keine
#Omicron Welle geplant und fällt deshalb aus?
Hämtningen verkar ta ett tag
