Covid: Omicron study suggests major wave in January

Feb 16,2020 12:41 am

The UK is facing a substantial wave of Omicron infections in January without further restrictions, according to scientists.

However, there is huge uncertainty about how much pressure that will pile on the NHS.

Uncertainty means the numbers needing hospital care could be significantly larger or smaller than Last Winter .

But the researchers said tougher restrictions may be needed to prevent Omicron overwhelming hospitals.

The Work by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine is not a Crystal Ball . It does not say what will happen with Omicron but gives a range of possible outcomes.

Dr Nick Davies , one of the researchers, said Omicron was spreading " very fast" and was " quite concerning" and was likely to be the dominant form of The Virus in England by The End of the year.

The Report says The Number of people infected is currently doubling every 2. 4 days in England despite the country having high levels of vaccination. That is faster than the original form of The Virus spread when nobody had protection.

Dr Davies said: " Based on what we're seeing we can expect there to be a large wave of Omicron in the UK. "

However, The Most uncertainty pivots around how well The Vaccines and boosters will keep people out of hospital.

The Team explored optimistic and pessimistic scenarios around Omicron's ability to evade immunity and the impact that boosters had.

The study assumes Omicron is less severe than previous variants if you have been vaccinated.

In The Most optimistic scenario the numbers being admitted to hospitals Every Day would be 40% lower than The Peak Last Winter . In The Most pessimistic scenario it would be nearly twice as high.

But The Report said " the majority of scenarios" concluded that with current measures there would be more admissions than Last Winter .

Dr Davies said: " I think our projections are worrying, it doesn't paint an optimistic picture. "

Early real-world studies by the UK Health Security Agency estimated two doses of a vaccine gave limited protection against developing Omicron symptoms, but a booster dose raised it up to 75%.
