More information to adapt this virus to better function and serve the american people and account emotional well-being, not just medical and physical aspect of this virus. you need to look at the big picture, absolutely right. >> one of the reasons these drastic measures were taken earlier. and the cdc reduce the estimate in the us. they said previously 73% of all cases of omicron, they updated that 222%, a huge discrepancy. how do you explain that. >> the cdc sampling and doing genomic surveill...

>> dr. jeanette nesheiwat is a fox news contributor and emergency room doctor. cdc estimates the omicron virus at 78%, theyve backed it up to 23% for last week. the big concern among medical community might be the fact that what happens when you miss like that we are basing policy and new mandates on the potential on the delta variant being prevalent in society talking about hospitalizations and deaths over the next couple of weeks. how much of an impact is that. >> the modeling platform the cdc...

Even boosted. i do want the public to understand not to fall asleep at the wheel and say omicron is not something i should be concerned about. >> well, what does it tell you about the cdc slashing those numbers, though? of course theyre not sequencing around the country all the time, which is likely why they change so much. there is a margin of error had they announced this. this is a big decrease in what they said was the amount of omicron circulating in the u.s. does that tell us its not actua...

Said. so what is the >> really important question. what we do, we take the genomic surveillance data and do p predictive modeling. and of course early in omicron when we had really rapid speed, those predictive estimates can be less stable. and that is what happened in this period of time. and so we have revised our estimates, weve done so transparently. but i think the important thing to note here is that there are areas of this country that have 20% omicron, there are areas of this country tha...

Deployment. and while they -- i did speak to some in the command staff who are in that military uniform, many of the people going in, part of the military are essentially integrating with the hospital staff. hospital staff here say that the situation is dire. a doctor telling me when they did the sequencing, theyre still dealing with the effects of the delta variant, not even this new variant that were dealing with. so theyre being stretched to the capacity and they see whats coming ahead. this ...
