There is potential for both the formation of the Omicron wave and the vaccines to prevent the vast majority of people from becoming seriously ill.


The problem is that even though "most of us" are absolutely good, "not all" are good. Some of us are weak. Some people do not have a well-functioning immune system to be vaccinated. Some people have chosen not to be vaccinated.


We see this among people who need more hospital care for delta strain and Omicron infection.


If a wave starts suddenly and at the same time, the situation will arise where all such people who need treatment will have to be taken care of at the same time.

"It's all coming together," said Michael Tildesley, a professor at the university of Warwick. "Therefore, there is a chance of a big swell like the one in january month. At some point, it will lead to an increase in the number of hospital admissions."

But he warns that there is still a great deal of uncertainty in all the data so far.


There are no globally accepted data on how fast Omicron spreads, how severe it is, or whether it avoids the action of the vaccine. So you will get a completely different view in the coming weeks depending on what data is being inserted in the math models.
