The difference in spread between Omicron and Delta

 Spreads more easily than any other variant

A growing body of evidence suggests the omicron variant may spread more easily than any other variant identified during the pandemic.

Health officials, such as Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky, say early data shows omicron doubles in prevalence every two to three days.

This is much faster than the delta variant which, at its peak, had a doubling time of about seven days.

If you think that Delta doubles every 7 days and Omicron doubles every two or three days here is the difference:

Delta

1

7 days later

2

7 days later

4

7 days later

8

7 days later

16

7 days later

32

to get to a ratio of 1 to 32 it took 35 days to get there

But Omicron is very very fast

1 

two days later

2

two days later

4

two days later

8

two days later

16

two days later

32

Omicron gets to the same amount a 1 to 32 ratio in only 10 days compared to 35 days for Omicron. This is why it is so very dangerous to everyone.

And why within 2 months we could have 140 million cases of Omicron in the U.S.

which likely would temporarily devastate our economy because of that many people being sick at the same time.

Although within 2 months time our economy likely would recover okay because everyone would have then super immunity to Omicron that survived.
