Omicron: First conclusions on omicron: Variant is growing exponentially and it is not clear if it is less severe

"Omicron is able to multiply 70 times faster in human bronchial tissue than the until-now-dominant strain, delta, according to a preliminary study from Hong Kong University, and which was released on Wednesday. The authors, headed by the renowned virologist Michael Chan, infected human cells in a laboratory and observed that omicron is highly successful in the upper respiratory tract, which would explain the explosion of infections, but it is 10 times less efficient than its predecessors in the lungs, which suggests it is less deadly."
