Οχι και η καλυτερη μερα απο πλευρας κρουσματων, η πτωση φαινεται να δειχνει σημαδια αναχαιτησης.
– RT=0.90 (+0.01)
– 4% πτώση σε σχέση με προηγούμενη Δευτερα, τη προηγουμενη Δευτερα σε σχέση με τη προπροηγουμενη είχαμε 22% μειωση.
– Μεγάλη πτώση εισαγωγων (ΜΟ 337 απο 393 προηγ. εβδ.), το μικρότερο νουμερο απο 6/11
– Στην Αττικη δεν ειχαμε πτωση ειχαμε ανοδο, αλλα και παλι εβδομαδιαια τα ενεργα κρουσματα εχουν πεσει σε 19.900 από 21.600 τη προηγουμενη εβδομαδα

>Very encouraging data out of South Africa. Decoupling between new COVID-19 cases and ICU admissions and deaths. In addition, cases in South Africa have peaked and are now on the decline.
>Summary:
•Difficult to disentangle if less severity is due to prior IMMUNITY (vaccine or natural infection) OR intrinsic virulence of Omicron
•Most hospital admissions in UNVACCINATED individuals
•>70% seroprevalence and 40% one dose of vaccine
•2-3x higher risk re-infection
>UK study on Omicron symptoms = what was observed in South Africa. Fever and loss of smell/taste not common with Omicron
>Omicron symptoms are predominantly cold symptoms, runny nose, headache, sore throat and sneezing” (for vaccinated)
>Actually, more recent data from Denmark looks more encouraging. Based on a far larger sample size, Omicron hospitalisations are at ~0.6% vs. ~1.5% for Delta (~60% down).
>Germany’s new expert council weighs in on #omicron:
>”Due to the simultaneous, extreme number of patients, a considerable overload of the hospitals is to be expected – even in the unlikely case of significantly weakened disease severity compared to the Delta variant”

>Well it certainly looks as though Gauteng, the epicentre of Omicron in South Africa, is past its peak of new cases. At least for now.

>Cases in South Africa ~120% of Delta wave peak.
>Hospitalizations ~ 45% (may still drift toward 50%) of Delta wave peak.
>ICU is 22% of Delta peak (could get to 25+%)
>Ventilator use 16% (could get to 20+%)
>Not offering an explanation: just saying the outbreak is milder.
