      "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

      Super-duper anecdotally: my impression so far from London and New York contacts is that Omicron breakthroughs are clearing out in about ~three days—symptoms go away and not testing positive anymore. I really wish we had quick systematic that on this given all the implications.

          unsure if I had omicron but I was triple vax'd and had a breakthrough runny nose on Dec 7th positive on antigen, Sinus pressure Dec 8th, symptoms subsided on the 9th, tested negative on antigen Dec 12th

          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?
