"One of the important things will be determining whether people who were vaccinated and got Omicron clear quickly so they’re not infectious," explains @EricTopol, since the variant is going to temporarily knock out a lot of health care workershttps://nym.ag/3e9r2kQ

I'd say look to the sports world for that. They do genomic sequencing and daily testing. Invaluable and unique source of longitudinal data I wish they could share more systematically (or at least with CDC, which they have in the past).

Also super-duper anecdotally, I know of a dozen cases in 3x vaxxed people in Chicago and NY in which "mild" symptoms (think really bad cold) are continuing at the 7 day mark. But, and its a big one, nobody has been able to get variant identification so may not be Omicron.

That aligns with the findings from the Norway Christmas party super spreader event https://www.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2021.26.50.2101147 …

If Omicron clears out quickly, does that materially reduce the probability of mutation? More specifically, what are the chances of Omicron blowing through the population and we emerge with better herd immunity versus the chance that we are just fueling a new nastier variant?

The sobering thing for parents with vaccinated kids in schools is that this could still lead to 10 days or more of isolation for a child who tests positive, and also missed cases when the school test schedule doesn't line up with the contagious days.

Maybe we could do some other measure like taking temperature, o2 counts, or collecting brief symptoms. Or something else. Unreliable individually, may be insightful in aggregate?
