What We Know About The Omicron COVID-19 Variant

On November 26th 2021, the WHO designated the variant B.1.1.529 a variant of concern, named Omicron. This was done on the advice of WHO’s Technical Advisory Group on Virus Evolution. The decision was based on the evidence presented that Omicron has several mutations that may have an impact on how it behaves. But the flood of Omicron news has been rather overwhelming. The endless data, anecdotes, and studies are hard enough to understand. But what makes the information even harder to process is that so much evidence is intertwined with opinion. In today’s video, we will give you a better understanding of what Omicron actually is.

The WHO has been using Greek letters to refer to the most widely prevalent coronavirus variants, which otherwise carry long scientific names. It has already used 12 letters of the Greek alphabet before this new variant emerged. The WHO selected Omicron for this one, avoiding confusion or offence to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional or ethnic groups. Their decision to skip the two letters and use the next available one to name the latest variant had generated a lot of curiosity and interest on the internet Now let’s talk about how contagious the Omicron variant is: Since it was first identified in late November, the omicron variant has been found in 77 countries and is quickly leading to new infections. For example, Britain has seen a rapid uptick in Covid-19 cases from the omicron variant, and officials estimate that around 200,000 are being infected by omicron every day. And in Denmark, omicron cases are doubling about every two days. Moving on let’s talk about the severity of this variant: There is growing evidence that the Omicron variant may be less likely to cause severe disease and hospitalization compared to the Delta variant. Omicron is associated with a two-thirds reduction in the risk of Covid-19 hospitalization compared with Delta, suggests one study, released online a couple of days ago as a working paper by researchers at the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom. That research was based out of Scotland. How effective are current vaccines against the Omicron? A study from the Imperial College London COVID-19 response team found a significantly increased risk of developing a symptomatic Omicron case compared to Delta for those who were two or more weeks past their second vaccine dose and two or more weeks past their booster dose for AstraZeneca and Pfizer vaccines. Finally, can Omicron be detected by the COVID testing methods currently available? RT-PCR tests can only confirm infections and are not designed to determine the variant causing the infection. To determine that, a genome sequencing study needs to be done.
