Updated data from NYC’s Omicron surge. These pictures paint about 3000 words.
Source for information above: www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid…. You can also find breakdown by age and vaccination status here.
NOTE: This is PER 100,000 people.
While I cannot sit and write 3000, here’s a few: Vaccines work. The COVID-19 vaccines are extremely effective at preventing serious illness, hospitalization, AND death. This comes directly from New York City Health COVID-19 Data.
Guys, BA.2 isn’t new. It’s been around since last year. It’s a sub-lineage to BA.1. They’re both still Omicron. It isn’t expected to be any more severe or expected to cause another wave. It might just eventually replace BA.1. End of the day, still Omicron. Let’s not lose focus.
Per @PeacockFlu: BA.2 shares a lot of mutations with BA.1, but it also has some differences. BA.2 also lacks the Spike Δ69-70 mutations. It means it does not cause S gene target failure. Remember the “stealth” version of Omicron? Yeah, that’s BA.2. theguardian.com/world/2021/dec…
Just so I can prove this isn’t necessarily new you can see here. BA.2 appears to be the major Omicron lineage in (part of) India and the Philippines and there is evidence it is growing compared to BA.1 in Denmark, UK, Germany and some other areas.
Wisconsin’s first case of Omicron was detected on December 4th, 2021 and became the dominant variant over Delta within four weeks so Omicron IS included in this analysis.
