>> okay. i'll tell you what's known and what's not known. it's called b.1 versus b.2. the b.2 is a newer 1 that's a sublineage of the original omicron, which is the b. 1a. so we know one thing, that it doesn't appear to be substantially different with regard to transmissability. likely a bit more of a transmission advantage. the reason you come to that conclusion, anderson, is when you look at denmark, denmark is being overtaken a bit by this new variant of sublineage of omicron in the sense that it was fundamentally all omicron, the b.1, but now it's seeing much more, about 40 to 50 or more p...

Another variant that does disrupt life. for people who have done the right things, are vaccinated, boosted and frankly exhausted, what's your advice and message to them tonight? >> you know, anderson, my message would be just hang in there because things look like at least for what's going on now with omicron that things are turning around. if you look at the northeast corridor, particularly, for example, new york city and the upper midwest, chicago, it's peaked and turned around and the cases are coming down rather substantially. a little bit more of a lag in the southern states and the weste...
