Africa suggests that possibility, and that basically having omicron take over, that it could mitigate the more severe consequences of this virus. >> well, thanks for having me, paula. i think theres very clear evidence that omicron is becoming the dominant strain, has already done so in many parts of the world. so in that sense, yes, it is displacing other variants like the delta that weve been struggling with in the past. but i would caution against the idea that this is somehow less severe. ye...

As you say, probably about a couple of weeks behind. you know, the good news is that these early data do suggest that an individual is less likely to develop severe disease requiring hospitalization, but of course, you know, were seeing here numbers that are twice as high as what weve seen in previous peaks roughly. so even if youre about half as likely to end up at hospital, at a population level, were already seeing pressure put on the nhs with about 1,000 hospitalizations yesterday. so its a ...

Vaccinated. >> bret: but you have had omicron and you get through it, which most people are, does that provide immunity for delta or vice versa? >> yeah. really important. were starting to look at the studies now in the lab. that will try and inform the question of the cross reactive protection of delta to omicron and the fact of omicron to delta and those studies are just emerging right now. we do know that there is less cross protection from prior variants to omicron and the studies of whether...

Very low. we are about 47th, 46th out of the country. we just crossed 50% of our citizens being fully vaccinated. and its even lower in our adolescents. so, not nearly the population level of immunity we need. >> dr. newman, thank you for what youre doing and thank you for your work. really appreciate your time. >> thank you so much. next were going to update you on a bill to avert a government shutdown which just passed the house.

Scientist looking at the data. i think thats also where some of this schism occurred, was between people who are looking at this big picture at the population level and people looking at the laboratory level. >> what you are saying is you see looking at the laboratory level you see boosted immunities and levels, so theres a case for this. if you are looking at the population level, youre looking at how long does it last and whats the efficacy of deploying a booster at scale, what does it get us?...

Group. so this was a real—world evaluation. we were trying to work with people to say, can we encourage them to where their masks more? you could argue, we were fairly effective, going from 13% to a2%. had we pushed this higher, we have no doubt that we would have had an even bigger impact on covid—i9. and importantly, that 9% is an overall estimate. if you look at people who got these surgical masks, they went down by 12% and if you look at people who got surgical masks over the age of 50, ...

Masks over the age of 50, they got 35% less covid—19. so there is no question that the masks were effective. . question that the masks were effective. , : :, , :, question that the masks were effective. . , :, effective. given the clarity of your findin . s effective. given the clarity of your findings then. _ effective. given the clarity of your findings then, is _ effective. given the clarity of your findings then, is it _ effective. given the clarity of your findings then, is it your _ effe...
