140 million Americans with Omicron within 2 months time?

 They are saying this is what it looks like in several computer models given the way this virus variant reproduces and infects people.

However, I cannot personally imagine 140 million people all infected at the same time can you?

I think instead you would have to break this down by weeks.

There are 4 weeks in a month and there are two months. I have to recalculate this because it is 8 weeks in two months approximate not 4.

 

So, at it's peak I would believe that 140 million should be divided by 8 for 8 weeks in 2 months=

seventeen million five hundred thousand   could be infected in any given week.

two million five hundred thousand could get infected any given day.

Because if you are under 30 years of age it is about a 4 day really sick at home kind of thing where you are sick as a dog for 4 to 5 days and then weak the next week likely too weak to work anywhere.

If you are older try 2 weeks sick as a dog and then another week or two before you can safely work and stay well?

This remains to be seen at this point.

This would be what I think the computer modeling actually means. But, of course there also will be peaks and valleys in reality in the numbers so at the peak things could get pretty bad if not enough people were well enough to do anything for anyone
