The United States cannot be satisfied with Omicron despite its low intensity

ON WEDNESDAY, the US's top infectious disease expert, Anthony Fauci, said that the US could not be satisfied with the Omicron type of coronavirus even though there are signs of lower severity compared to the Delta model.

In a White House briefing, Fauci said that the severity of the variant might be outweighed by the volume of cases arising from its increased transmissibility.

"(Omicron) can still put pressure on our hospital system because a certain percentage of a large volume of cases, no matter how severe they are, will be severe," Fauci said.
