Omicron spreads very fast Luv Aggarwal, citing a model prepared by American epidemiologist Dr. Eric Feigl-Deg, said that from initial trends, Omicron is five times more infectious than the delta variant. Its infectivity can be gauged from the fact that on November 24, the World Health Organization got its patient information from South Africa and Botswana and in eight days it spread to 30 countries. It is worth noting that in April and May this year, Delta caused great destruction in India. Being five times more contagious than Delta is making Omicron extremely dangerous. Less lethal than Delta It is only a matter of relief that till now all the cases of Omicron in the world have been found of a mild type. There was no need to hospitalize any patient who got affected by it. Generally, complaints of body pain are being seen in the affected people. Luv Aggarwal also clarified that at present this estimate has been made based on limited data. The situation will become more clear in the coming days. Despite Omicron cases being mild, the increasing figures of hospitalization of corona patients in South Africa in the last week are giving alarming signs. Aggarwal said that it has to be seen whether patients in hospitals have increased due to the increase in Omicron cases or due to some other reason.
