Omicron Vs Delta

A preliminary US study of nearly 70,000 Covid positive people showed a substantially reduced risk of hospitalisation and death from Omicron even after controlling for growing population immunity levels.

The Omicron variant of the coronavirus is spreading faster than the Delta variant and is causing infections in people already vaccinated or who have recovered from the COVID-19 disease, the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Monday.

How lethal is Omicron? Does it cause a severe disease? Will a third dose of vaccine give better immunity? Scientists are racing to find the answers to these questions as Omicron cases soar across Europe and threaten year-end festivities.

It's back. Not that it had ever gone away, but the old Delta variant cases are down, masks have slipped, it is wedding season, and life is resuming a semblance of normality. Sadly, Omicron is likely to change all that.
