Hospitalizations tripled in just 2 weeks where #Omicron is dominant.
here is the exact #COVID19 hospitalizations breakdown for Gauteng Province by both public and private hospitals. It’s increasing equally - tripling in both classes of hospitals. This is not just a surveillance issue.

breakdown many #COVID19 patients currently hospitalized / in ICU / on ventilator in Gauteng Flag of South Africa—747 hospitalized, 57 in ICU, and 23 on a ventilator. @nicd_sa
doesn’t give the time series for all of these. It’s still early. Less hope it doesn’t rise further.

Of the 747 currently hospitalized with #COVID19 in Gauteng Province (#B11529 epicenter of South Africa), 137 of the 747 hospitalized COVID patients are receiving “high care” or ICU care— or 18%.

most recently, positivity in Gauteng soared from 1% to 30% in 2 weeks.

As a reminder, Gauteng Province is the epicenter of #Omicron where genome sequencing revealed it to now “becoming dominant” over even Delta.

Also, don’t forget the well known lag between cases ==> hospitalization ==> then death. Cases have soared 6x already…. Hospitalizations are rising (see top), and death is a lagging indicator.

Comparing sunday-sunday
november 21: 691 new cases (400% increase)
november 14: 262 new cases (1100% increase)
november 7: 202 new cases (1400% increase)

Karta on.

Moderna Inc. Chief Medical Officer Paul Burton said he suspects the new omicron coronavirus variant may elude current vaccines, and if so, a reformulated shot could be available early in the new year.

I also don't believe it is less severe. The growth rate advantage of Omicron vs Mu based on GISAID & SGTF data works out at 0.38/day [0.33-0.43] 95% CLs, which would correspond to it infecting ca. exp(0.38*4.7)=6.0 [4.7-7.5] x more people than Delta within one GT of the virus.
