Percent are delta and "y"% are only crone and they have been doing this throughout the pandemic. the cdc said the week of december 18th, they previously said new cases were 73% omicron and everyone was like, wow, that got very big very quickly. now they are saying, we're revising that estimate. we think it's actually 23%. that is obviously a gigantic difference, and they say the week of december 19th through 25th was 59%, so omicron does not seem to be spreading quite as quickly. delta is still holding its own. how did this happen? it is unclear. one thing that we know, you know, people think,...
