BREAKING—First #Omicron US death in Texas—in an unvaccinated man **reinfected** after previously having #COVID19. New convalescent blood🩸 studies of survivors (of Alpha, Beta, or Delta variants) show little to no neutralization defense against Omicron. Please #Vaccinate& Boost🧵

6) Let this sink in - with #Omicron, we might be compressing 2 years worth of infections ➡️ into just 3 months, says
@AliHMokdad
— an 8:1 time compression ratio! Anyone who doesn’t think hospitals will be overwhelmed is living in fantasy land.

@IHME_UW is projecting that #COVID19 infections in the next 3 months will be as much as the infections in the past 2 years. #Omicron is spreading fast. This will put a lot of pressure on our medical systems. Get your vaccine and wear a mask. covid19.healthdata.org/global?view=cu

8) Don’t neglect the risk of #LongCovid either — lots of new evidence that the #SARSCoV2 persists in many organs even months later.
