Estimated to be about 13%. and its doubling every two days. so there are going to be a lot of omicron cases but with vaccines and boost, more of those cases will be mild. so extrapolate from that graph to omicron. yes we have to be prepared over the next weeks, a lot of the omicron cases strategy vaccines take care of the question, more of those cases will be mine. we talked a few weeks ago when omicron -- a few weeks ago -- when omicron variant was first emerging about the question of whether o...

The cdc says omicron already makes up about 3% of whats known to be circulating in the country right now. do you think that is a fair estimate? do we have a good way of measuring that, and do you think that number is going to rise rapidly? >> i think we have to expect theyre going to be a lot of cases in the united states. i think the current number, while you said its 3% nationwide, i think in certain areas such as new york, its estimated to be about 13%. and its doubling every two days. so the...
