Omicron will likely ‘dominate and overwhelm’ the world in 3-6 months, doctor says!
“Frankly, omicron will dominate and overwhelm the whole world in three to six months,” Singapore doctor Leong Hoe Nam told CNBC’s “Street Signs Asia.”
New vaccines targeting omicron are a “nice idea” but won’t be practical because of the transmissibility of the strain, he said.
Experts don’t know exactly how contagious the highly mutated omicron variant is, but the virus’ spike protein — which binds to human cells — has mutations associated with higher transmission and a decrease in antibody protection.
