"Recovery in 5 days, 90% asymptomatic" | Iqbal Chahal, Mumbai's Top Officer on Omicron | Barkha Dutt
Jan 4, 2022 MOJO STORY While the number of Covid cases continues to surge in Mumbai, the BMC has reported that only 15% of its hospital beds are in use. Ninety percent of the cases continue to be asymptomatic, however.
The civic body also released a new set of rules, as per which, all buildings which have had over 20% of their occupants infected, will be sealed. The body will also place patients under a 10-day isolation period.

Omicron, orientation and questions Dec 31, 2021 Dr. John Campbell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTftlM0MJUk
I'm hoping the pandemic will be essentially over in a few weeks and move into an endemic phase. The question is of course, how will the next month pan out?
Most omicron hospitalisations incidental https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM2VgBm9pTI Dec 30, 2021
Around 80% of English hospital admissions with coronavirus are admitted for other reasons We are not seeing a dramatic increase in Omicron hospitalisations.
Sir John Bell, regius professor of medicine, Oxford University: This is not the same disease we were seeing a year ago.
Chris Hopson, the chief executive of NHS Providers What our guys are saying is that incidental cases are making around 25 to 30 per cent of cases that are arriving,
but that will vary from place to place
It's not going up in an exponential way. As the number of cases in the community rises, there are significant levels of incidental cases
Dr Raghib Ali, consultant in acute medicine at Oxford University Hospitals, There is certainly a smaller proportion of people ending up with Covid pneumonia in intensive care
Probably half the cases I’ve seen are incidentals. You’ve got completely incidental cases, someone coming in with a broken leg, who also tests positive for Covid,
then a third category of older people who have comorbidities, Maybe they’ve had a fall or chest pain and also test positive and it's unclear if the virus is having some sort of impact.
And when the prevalence of a virus with relatively mild symptoms is high in the community then you will see higher incidentals

What I'm seeing with #Omicron.
1) Everyone will be exposed in next few weeks.
2) Almost everyone gets a mild form of common cold. Trivial hospitalization. Trivial oxygenation needed.
3) Omicron replaces Delta.
4) Omicron acts as a natural vaccine, Herd immunity.
4) End pandemic.
Omicron is literally the vaccine vaccine companies could not make.
It is attenuated.
No hospitalizations.
No critical patients.
No oxygenation.
