Wonder how long it'll take for Omicron to displace Delta. Delta took 8 weeks to be the dominant version of Covid-19 circulating. If Omicron is even more transmittable then, what?, 4 weeks? Sooner? 🤔 Xmas looking problematic. #r4today
@benscoble @B_E_Andre It's ok Ben. The Tories have not lost their sense of humour.
@benscoble Omicron is 5x more contagious so, it should take less than 2 weeks.
@benscoble @johnandi I think it’ll depend on its virulence. If Delta is a more aggressive virus then it may still outcompete the more transmissible Omicron. Time will tell.
@benscoble It depends how good Test and Trace is and whether people adhere to the rules on masks, self-isolating etc. #r4today #WearAMask #GetVaccinatedNow
@benscoble No, fab Christmas, deadly new year
