Compare the rise of #Omicron in Houston to that of #Delta over the summer, which took about 3 months to surpass 80% after initial detection.

#Omicron in our data has a doubling time of 2.2 days.
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/sage-99-minutes-coronavirus-covid-19-response-16-december-2021/sage-99-minutes-coronavirus-covid-19-response-16-december-20215. It is still too early to reliably assess the severity of disease caused by Omicron compared to previous variants. Although a preliminary analysis from South Africa suggests that this wave may be less severe than previous waves, a comparison of SGTF (mainly Omicron) and SGTP (non-Omicron) cases within this wave suggests less difference between variants. Some severity estimates should start to become available in about a week as hospital data accumulate. Even if there were to be a modest reduction in severity compared to Delta, very high numbers of infections would still lead to significant pressure on hospitals.
6. As a result of the very high number of current infections, hospitalisations in UK will reach high levels in about 2 weeks even if transmission is reduced soon, because there are lags between infections, symptoms appearing, and hospitalisation (high confidence). There are likely to be between 1,000 and 2,000 hospital admissions per day in England by the end of the year. Many of these will be people who are already infected now or who become infected in the next few days. The acceleration of the booster vaccination programme will not affect transmission and severe and mild disease in time to mitigate these hospitalisations for the rest of 2021 (high confidence).

The UK is now reporting 12 deaths from Omicron as of Dec. 17.

(There's often a several-week lag between infection and death, so doing a simple per case fatality calculation with this number is meaningless for now, except to say: It's very much not zero.)https://t.co/PnyCyu0JJ2 pic.twitter.com/Hsf7X1Jbqf
You must all be tired of this, but really:

There is still a lot of uncertainty about omicron’s characteristics, especially its severity.
Yes, there are more and more pieces of the puzzle, but they don’t fit together all that well and there are a LOT of questions and hypotheses.
Just one example:

I talked to @trvrb briefly yesterday (for a story to come later) and asked about data from South Africa on severity vs. early reports in Europe. He said: “I don’t know how to square these two things and that is probably giving me the most pause at the moment.”

- to cause someone to hesitate or have doubts about something
Omicron is wiping out our hospital staff; the transmission rate is stunning. We are short everywhere and are blocking ICU beds because we can’t staff them. Elective surgeries are cancelled. Mask up. Get your vaccine and boosters now. #GetBoosted #COVID19 #OmicronVariant

In neutralization assays, @BalazsLab observes only a 4-fold or 6-fold reduction in titer going from wild-type to Omicron after booster relative to 43-fold or 122-fold after initial mRNA vaccine series (https://t.co/EuHC1fuHWP). 4/14 pic.twitter.com/AidMZkxzUd

A 4 to 6-fold reduction in neutralization titer or a ~20% drop in vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic illness is really not bad and I'm happy boosters broaden immunity as much as they do. 6/14
