There's something that day-by-day media coverage doesn't explain about covid, so perhaps someone here can provide an answer:-

"Omicron is now the dominant variant" is something we hear all the time, but what does that mean, exactly? Is the Delta variant being somehow squeezed out of the picture, never to return, or is it just that cases are, during this wave, 40% delta, 60% omicron, and that when the omicron wave is over, it'll be back to business as usual with delta and all previous variants buzzing around as before?

Here are the u.s. stats for that: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tra...nt-proportions

95.4% of cases are omicron right now.

Thanks, Frownland! Good idea to go to such a reliable source. I certainly underestimated the %age dominance of Omicron, but the answer to my exact question was less clear:-

Quote:

New variants of SARS-CoV-2 are expected to continue to emerge. Some variants will emerge and disappear, while others will emerge and continue to spread and may replace previous variants.

"Some variants may disappear, some variants may continue to spread." Thanks for that clarification, CDC.

Yeah, I'm starting to get a little f*cking annoyed by whoever is in charge of PR with the CDC because they've really been sh*tting the bed lately with stupid bullsh*t "announcements" that almost seem designed to cause stir.

Just shut the f*ck up and get us out of this hell.

Thanks Lisna!

I think and I’m hoping with the vaccination and the Omicron variant being less deadly that we should be coming out the other side now. Said that about 5 times tho
