20:52Now PlayingOmicron in the US is rip roaring away
SA data
Omicron variant, Houston Methodist patients
Omicron variant, doubling every two to three days
At least 45% of Methodist’s COVID-19 patients were omicron as of Friday
Wednesday, 32% COVID-19 tests on symptomatic patients
Saturday, (4 days before) 13%
Half of the hospital’s omicron patients have been vaccinated with either two or three doses
Four times as many positive COVID-19 test results since last week
Fueled by the continued spread of the omicron variant
Dr. Marc Boom, Methodist president and CEO
If this spreads so rapidly that there are massive numbers of infected people,
even if on average they’re very mild, if that hits the vulnerable in our population and they end up hospitalized, that can still be an incredibly challenging time
S. Wesley Long, medical director of diagnostic microbiology
Very likely reach 100% of all COVID-19 cases within the hospital by January
That would be a faster sweep than even the delta variant, which took about a three-month span to sweep prior variants and achieve 100%,
It is also possible that delta remains in some equilibrium with omicron over time

Cases
Hospitalizations
Rip roaring away
Could bring the highest level of cases yet
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio
we are seeing a very substantial rise in the number of cases in a way we haven’t seen previously
New York adults had at least one dose, 94%
People with 2 doses, 70% (10% above national rate)
Dr. Anthony Fauci
raging around the world
Omicron variant is really something to be reckoned with
Our hospitals, if things look like they're looking now, in the next week or two are going to be very stressed
because, again, we have so many people in this country who are eligible to be vaccinated who have not yet been vaccinated
The hospitalization to case ratio appears to be smaller than delta
We are going to see breakthrough infections, there's no doubt about that
The difference between a vaccinated and boosted person who has an infection and someone who has an infection who's never been vaccinated,
there's a major difference with regard to the risk of severity
President Biden, winter plan tomorrow
