Omicron was at 11% on Monday. Delta will very soon be wiped out. We did it people.
I’m actually shitting it that this infectious cunt is gonna get me in the few days before my pre-departure test. If I have to stay in the UK, I swear to god, I’m going to become radicalised.
Jaysus the omicron sure has jumped. Awful early for case numbers today isn’t it?
Omnicron!
There’s starting to be anecdotal talk among medical professionals, comparing Omicron to measles, in terms of reproducibility.

We’re on an upward trajectory of cases, I think?
Close the gyms!

*”Week-on-week change” is the total for the most recent 7 days, relative to the total for the preceding 7 days.
Stats calculated from data at* [GeoHive](https://covid-19.geohive.ie). *ICU vax status data from* [HPSC](https://www.hpsc.ie/a-z/respiratory/coronavirus/novelcoronavirus/surveillance/vaccinationstatusweeklyreports/)*.*
It’s mad how quickly it replaces delta in a population. Like you’d think even with higher transmissibility it would be a bit more gradual.
Bit of a jump from last weeks drop with 33,036 cases this week.

[This day last year](https://www.reddit.com/r/ireland/comments/kgc96p/coronavirus_five_deaths_and_527_new_cases/) we had 527 cases and 5 Deaths for those interested.
not divisible
Ooh I’m in the paper
So in theory, a 100%~ Omicron wave would result in 9,800 daily cases?
Is there a backlog waiting again that would make tomorrow 10k?
They need to just treat it like the flu now, it isn’t going away
Most people barely even get sick from it anymore and boosters are out
Oh shit.
And hospitalisations are up or down?
20’000 cases by monday week. Buckle up lads.
It seems really bizarre that they’re excluding all positive data from the studies. Doesn’t seem scientific to me.

How are hospitalizations and deaths comparing for Omicron in terms of percentage? Any data?
