    Well, the number of hospitalizations with omicron seems
    to be low so far, so perhaps omicron will prove to be
    more infectious but less deadly and will confer immunity
    to the more deadly strains, perhaps ending the pandemic.

    When you write that it's low, are you referring to worldwide? The US? A particular state?

    Certainly here in Newfoundland and Labrador, where we
    have close to 400 active cases and no hospitalizations.

    Also I think from reports out of the UK.

    Also from South Africa, though that may be because
    it is mainly in a younger population

    I’m not sure of worldwide statistics yet.

    But it could just be that omcron hasn’t been around very
    long. except in South Africa,. and that hospitalizations
    will increase soon.

    Ah. OK. Well, here in NJ-land, if the rates of covid transmission and hospital admissions keep steady (or increase), we'll prolly run out of hospital beds around January 5th or so.
    My sources aren't too clear as to how many of the cases are due to delta variant or some other variant.
