U.S. health officials say that while the omicron variant of the coronavirus is rapidly spreading in the country, early indications suggest it may be less dangerous than delta, which continues to drive a surge of hospitalizations.

Nearly 60,000 Americans are hospitalized with COVID-19 as officials push to get more people a booster shot.officials said Sunday that while the omicron variant of the coronavirus is rapidly spreading throughout the country, early indications suggest it may be less dangerous than delta, which continues to drive a surge of hospitalizations.

“Thus far, it does not look like there’s a great degree of severity to it,” Fauci said. “But we have really got to be careful before we make any determinations that it is less severe or it really doesn’t cause any severe illness, comparable to delta.” Omicron had been detected in about a third of U.S. states by Sunday, including in the Northeast, the South, the Great Plains and the West Coast. Wisconsin, Missouri and Louisiana were among the latest states to confirm cases.

Even if omicron proves less dangerous than delta, it remains problematic, World Health Organization epidemiologist Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove told CBS' “Face The Nation.”

I sincerely hope this is the case. We've been going out & about and this is super concerning with the holidays. Our family's have a lot of ppl with severe preexisting conditions but everyone is all vaxxed and still want to gather... Fingers crossed.

It’s bizzare that he is making that claim (if he indeed is). SA data is largely for a younger cohort that’s previously infected so you better bloody hope it’s causing less hospitalisations!

Is there any chance that this COVID 19 virus and all its variants with its mutation rate,could this end our sprcies globally.

Bullshit. 44% of Omicron deaths do far have been under 40. This is going to be a fucking bloodbath.

Give us Covaxin and we’ll feel safe. Covaxin is a traditional vaccine and is the safest in the world. Big pharma is doing its best to not let it come to the market which is very unethical.

Ya, whatever. If you can gather information on new variants, you should be sharing information on natural immunity. 10+ months later, I STILL HAVE ANTIBODIES.

is it a sign that covid is finally becoming into something like flu and so will soon be over?

I just wanna say a big thank you to Dennismayson9 I was nobody until a friend of mine introduced me into investing with you, Since then it's been nothing but financial 💰 Success for me. I will invite my friends and family into your company Dennismayson9 you are the best💯🤞

We hope so...!

is it a sign that covid is finally becoming into something like glue and so will soon be over?

The old vaccine is completely ineffective against the new virus. Why do we need to inject it? 旧疫苗对新病毒完全无效,为什么还要注射?Omicrom spreads fast, but zero death and less ICU, which is good news. Omicron 目前零死亡极少ICU,是个好消息。

Dr. Fauci responds to GOP Rep. Ronny Jackson calling Omicron the ‘Midterm Election Variant’'[There's] some suggestion that it might invade some of the protection from monoclonal antibodies or convalescent plasma or even for vaccine-induced antibodies,' Dr. Fauci says of new omicron variant of Covid-19. Omicron is the best news yet in this fight. It’s a highly infectious, but very weak variant. This is the viruses last gasp. It becomes weaker and more widespread in an attempt to stay alive. 👍 So 8 billion boosters? Oh ok. These vaccines aren't very good are they.

Very Sane Fox Contributor Likens Fauci to Sadistic Holocaust Doctor Who Experimented on JewsAccording to Logan, Dr. Fauci—who wants people to get vaccinated and not die from COVID—is as bad as one of history’s most notorious human rights abusers. Even though the average person can see past this ridiculousness, those below average will believe it, which is the majority of Fox viewers. I’m an activist and I got my vaccine. Stop it with the human rights bullshit this is life and death. p.s. I’m also a human rights activist. BlackLivesMatter support them too. DrFaucis1 i don’t think you wanted to torture anyone. Toda la razón!!
