Omicron is proving to be really, really good at infecting people …

  • A recent Maru Public Opinion determined that the variant is spreading so fast that one in 10 Canadians already have someone in their social circle who have been infected by it.
  • New data from Italy released on Thursday showed that Omicron went from 19 per cent of COVID-19 cases to 28 per cent in just two weeks.

But Omicron is doing this in spite of a Canadian population that is almost universally double vaccinated.

All the available data is that Omicron is far less dangerous than previous strains of COVID-19. But the devil’s bargain with Omicron is that even an exceptionally mild virus can overwhelm emergency rooms if it infects everybody all at once
