1/ #Omicron 🧵
Been a few weeks since we heard of #OmicronVariant
Thought I would look at what we have learned so far, and some questions that remain, using @OurWorldInData & some global reports.
So at peak, South Africa has had ~400% increase in cases.

2/ #Omicron - South Africa
Can we attribute the rise of cases directly to Omicron?
Looks like the answer is yes.
South Africa cases are 100% Omicron now.
Botswana ~20%.
Canada/UK/USA still low, but increasing.
(Other countries where it has been found for comparison)

3/ #Omicron - What's happening with Delta?
This seems obvious, but just to confirm with the sharp increase in Omicron, there is a concurrent steep decline of #DeltaVariant as it is displaced.
This makes us all tense as we still have a lot to learn, but it's not all doom & gloom
