Its really important to be vaccinated. we know its already spreading here. delta is our problem right no but we need to make sure we are able that thwart off this coming wave of omicron infections as well. getting vaccinated. >> yeah. today cdc director dr. rochelle walensky said the anime convention, which was held in new york city will likely provide some of the earliest data on transmissibility of the omicron variant in the u.s. of the 53,000 people who attended, 35,000 have been contacted an...

Regardless of omicron, even before omicron gets here in significant numbers, the case count from good old delta variant covid cases is climbing very aggressively right now. particularly in the midwest and northeast as winter sets in. we want to look for a second whats going on in michigan, this is today the pieces for michigan that are bad in any combination, very bad and sequence. last week michigan hit its highest hospitalization ever. hospitalizations in michigan or reach their highest point ...

And well know soon enough about its characteristics. before omicron takes hold, though, we got about 99.9% of u.s. cases that are delta, regardless of omicron, even before omicron gets here in significant numbers. the case count from delta variant covid cases is climbing really aggressively right now, particularly in the midwest and the northeast, as winter sets in. and i want to look for a second at whats going on in michigan. this is two pieces of data from michigan that are bad in any combina...

At whats going on in michigan. because this is two pieces of data from michigan that are bad in any combination, but really bad in sequence. last week, michigan hit its highest hospitalization ever. hospitalizations in michigan reached their highest point ever last week. the previous record was set like seven months ago. so, highest hospitalizations ever last week. then this week, they reached the highest number of active cases ever. think about that sequencing. once you get infections, then you...

Of people who get tested test positive. and hopefully, do that sequencing to see how much of that is omicron. look, this was happening at the same time we were having 90, 100,000 cases a day so it wont be surprising if some people ultimately test positive. it will be unclear for a while how much of this is omicron spread, how much omicron is likely to be more of a superspreading virus than delta. all indications seem to be that it is more transmissible but we are still doing that science. the an...

Of about one in the uk. but while it might be more transmissible, early data hints that it might be less dangerous than earlier strains. heres the director—general of the world health organization. in south africa, the number of 0micron cases is increasing quickly. however, 0micron was detected when transmission of delta was very low, so it had little competition. it will therefore be important to monitor carefully what happens around the world to understand whether 0micron can outcompete delt...

The Karnataka government has already initiated action to establish genome sequencing labs in the state, and the Health Secretary has been instructed to look into the needs of procuring necessary equipment and experts for the purpose, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said on Tuesday.
