NEW POD: The world of Omicron facts with data wizard @jburnmurdoch

Four big ideas from the global evidence:
1. It's milder (different than "mild").
2. It's fast.
3. It's a big problem for the unvaccinated + hospital systems.
4. It's worse in the US.

1. It's milder (different than "mild")
The virus's upper-respiratory replication combined with immunity from vaccines and natural infection seem to be responsible for the global evidence of a divergence between case growth and deaths.

2. It's fast.
In Gauteng, Omicron wave trough-to-peak was about 3x faster than Delta. In London, NY, and DC, case growth is peaking much faster than previous waves.
As @jburnmurdoch says: Hard to be certain how much of this is the virus vs behavior shifts.

Must-read thread breaking down ER patients by vaccine status and age. Older unvaccinated patients are still dominating among severe hospitalizations.

4. It’s worse in the US.
The difference between the US Omicron experience and Western Europe (see Netherlands below) is absolutely stunning.
What’s happening? We have:
1. Fewer vaxx’d
2. Fewer boosted
3. Omicron riding a cresting Delta wave

Come for my opening analysis of America's rising "Vaxxed and Done" cohort.
