      I expect CDC will get around to updating guidance on this in August or sohttps://twitter.com/Bob_Wachter/status/1472605069388357633 …

      Omicron raises an urgent math problem for epi world & @CDCgov– Solve for X: For vaxxed person w/ Omicron, "X"=minimum # of days of isolation that optimizes limiting spread & keeping economy going, assuming rapid test is neg on days X-1 & X. (Hint: I doubt it's 7-10; my guess ~5)

      Hopefully before ERs stop functioning. NFL and NBA may have the data, too. They test and sequence very often, with detailed tracking. Hopefully sports franchises can bail us out.

      Some NBA personnel who have been positive recently (I assume likely Omicron) have been able to make rapid recoveries (within 5 days). Would be interesting to see if vaccinated people can recover and test negative more quickly than with other variants

          The announcer for the Lakers tested positive for Covid 5 days ago. Today he's announcing the game in-person. Last week Russell Westbrook tested positive. He was back in 3 days

          That’s useful. I’m tempted to try to do a chart of known cases, see if we know when they first tested positive. Seems likely they have data.

          Recent study of cluster outbreak in Norway, where it does appear as though Omicron infections progress to symptoms and perhaps clear faster than prior variants https://www.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2021.26.50.2101147 …pic.twitter.com/B6uQKyJm1G
