When you think about that this virus has the potential to double every two days, then in a couple of weeks we're going to be facing a lot of cases of Omicron, that modeling implies that sometime in January, we will be at a different stage of recognizing Omicron, maybe as even a predominant virus. However, we still are learning about the severity, transmissibility.

The vulnerable people are the people who have not been vaccinated, and I hope that the possibility that we're seeing -- that we're going to be getting a surge of Omicron, which is almost inevitable given its characteristic of high degree of transmissibility, we have the tools to be able to blunt this. We just need to implement them.

When you look at the sequence of the virus in terms of its transmissibility, it looks a lot like the Alpha variant that arose out of the UK and came to the US at the beginning part of the year, which was more transmissible than the original lineage but not more transmissible than Delta, on that basis, I actually don't think Omicron is necessarily going to outcompete Delta.

We have seen not only deaths, hospitalizations and infection go down, but transmissibility has gone down because we're vaccinated don't transmit the disease, so it becomes very clear that for this pandemic to end, we have to not only protect ourselves from severe disease but( also) get the children vaccinated. Because even though the children have not been perceived as being at risk for death and severe disease, they transmit it.
