'All indications point to a lesser severity of omicron versus delta,' said Fauci, President Joe Biden's top health advisor, of the early Covid variant data.
Early studies suggest the omicron variant, while highly transmissible, causes less severe illness than the deadly delta strain of the coronavirus, Dr. Anthony Fauci said.
But "we should not become complacent," he noted, because the "extremely high volume" of omicron cases could still overwhelm some health care systems. "The risk of severe disease from any circulating variant, including Omicron is much, much higher for the unvaccinated," Fauci added. "And so, adults and children who are eligible, get vaccinated, and vaccinated people, get boosted when eligible."hit record highs in many nations, including the U.S.
Fauci said "the pattern and disparity between cases and hospitalization strongly suggest that there will be a lower hospitalization-to-case ratio when the situation becomes more clear."
