It’ll be in the 70 to 80% range, at least, of all, Floridians roughly, if you look at the infection curve, we already think there were a million infections a day right around the end of December, the beginning of January,” said Dr. Longini.
Dr. Longini is the professor behind these forecasts and says that this variant is spreading more quickly and with a shorter incubation period. There is something else aiding the increase in cases, though.
“The degree of immune escape is greater than we originally thought. So all that contributes to a bigger number of reported cases,” Dr. Longini said.
The silver lining in all of this is that researchers believe the number of severe cases and deaths will lessen with omicron. “There’s no doubt about that. The numbers of severe cases, hospitalizations and deaths will be probably about a third of those that we observe for Delta,” Longini said.
Whats a 1/3 of 70-80% of the entire US population? Severe/deaths about a 1/3 of delta yet its effecting prop close to 1400% more people than delta. 1/3 of a huge hige population is why the hospitals are overrun and why so many deaths and severe criticals due to the sheer number of covid positives, i would think Brazil will be impacted the same way if not worse…fill those trials.
