More than 20 cases linked to the variant across 11 states have been reported in the U.S. as of Saturday morning.
While many of the Omicron patients had recently traveled to Africa, others had no recent travel history to speak, indicating that community transmission has begun in the U.S., according to CNBC. Above, a woman stands among a large collection of luggage as she uses her phone at Dulles International Airport in Dulles, Virginia, on November 29, 2021.The first case in the U.S. emerged in California on Wednesday.
Another case emerged in Minnesota on Thursday, this time in a fully vaccinated adult who received a booster shot. Unlike the case in California, this patient had not been to Africa but had recently returned from a convention in New York that put them in contact with numerous crowds. Other cases of Omicron in fully vaccinated patients have been reported in Colorado, Nebraska, Maryland,and Utah. Cases have also been reported in states like Pennsylvania, Missouri, and New York, but the vaccination histories of these patients were not fully understood at this time.
Alongside the potential for vaccine resistance, another, more hopeful emerging trend with Omicron appears to be its less intense symptoms. Among the U.S. cases where the patients' conditions were known, all have experienced only mild or moderate symptoms. While a good amount of these patients might be seeing milder symptoms because of their prior vaccinations, even unvaccinated patients have reported less intense sicknesses. In Nebraska, where 5 of the 6 reported patients were not vaccinated, none of them required hospitalization for the infection. The one patient reported in Hawaii had also seen moderate symptoms despite being unvaccinated.
