Before I show the updated graphs, a couple of notes. First, even with all the news surrounding the Omicron variant, Delta is certainly still the dominant strain in the United States. Second, it is too early to tell what the impacts of Omicron will be. It almost certainly is more infectious. But the relative virulence is not yet known. It does seem while the vaccines may not be as effective in preventing absolute infection, it still provides solid protection against severe disease.
