Omicron is displaying a significant growth advantage over Delta,
likely to outcompete Delta in the UK and become the dominant variant.
If the growth rate and doubling time continue,
at least 50% of coronavirus (COVID-19) cases to be caused by Omicron variant by mid-December
One million by end of December
1% = 10,000
Omicron displays a reduction in protection offered by having had a previous infection or vaccination.
There is insufficient data to make any assessment of protection against severe disease,
or to assess the severity of illness caused by Omicron.
Further studies are underway in the UK and abroad.

Hospital admissions from Omicron should be expected to follow soon (high confidence).
Though there remain some important uncertainties,
Early verbal reports indicate that hospitalisations due to Omicron are now increasing in South Africa.
The doubling time for new Omicron infections is currently around 3 days in England
It is unlikely to be any slower than a 5-day doubling time (high confidence)
Household studies show higher secondary attack rates (high confidence).
Why is omicron more transmissible?
Combinations of transmissibility and immune escape
Some early indications from South Africa suggest less severe disease in those hospitalised
A modest reduction in severity would not avert high numbers of hospitalisations if growth rates remained very high.
One thousand per day be end of month
The peak is highly likely to be higher than 1,000 to 2,000 Omicron hospital admissions per day without intervention
For it to be below this level there would need to be only a small degree of immune escape and very high protection from boosters against Omicron
With very rapid doubling times a large wave could occur leading to synchronous absences from work.

This excellent scientific analysis of recent events continues in interview three of this series. Follow Dr. Craig on SubStack, https://drclarecraig.substack.comCOVID, the untold story. So much more makes sense after this book and my first illuminating discussion with Dr. Craig. Get your copy in the UK here:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Expired-untold-Dr-Clare-Craig/dp/1739344707Uploaded 22-02-24For friends in the US get your copy here, https://www.amazon.com/Expired-untold-Dr-Clare-Craig/dp/1739344707Have you ever felt the covid story did not entirely add up? Expired contains multiple eye-opening revelations about covid with compelling evidence that provides a coherent, sober and clear explanation that better fits the data we have so far. Meticulous research by pathologist Dr Clare Craig sheds light on the largely overlooked evidence of airborne virus transmission, examining twelve related beliefs on spread, lockdowns, asymptomatic infections, and masks. In addition, Expired champions the importance of Western ethical principles, damaged by pandemic actions and calls for their restoration. The covid debate has proved incredibly polarising. One side believed every intervention was saving lives, while the other emphasised the harms caused. Biased modelling based on a worst-case scenario led to fearful assumptions presented as fact. By dint of sheer repetition these ‘facts’ became unquestionable. Those scientists who dared to question were proclaimed dangerous. Welcome to Cloud-Covid-Land.Let’s bring back nuance.
