The number of COVID patients in the United States is at a record high and continues to climb, overwhelming hospitals. From Australia to Germany, infections are leaping to never-before-seen levels, putting a significant strain on health care systems. “Make no mistake, Omicron is causing hospitalisations and deaths and even the less severe cases are inundating health facilities. The virus is circulating far too intensely with many still vulnerable.”The same message was echoed a day earlier by Dr Anthony Fauci, US President Joe Biden’s top medical adviser.
He replied: “I would hope that that’s the case, but that would only be the case if we don’t get another variant that eludes the immune response.”
