None at all ??

I understand that omicron is the main variant but surely there will be some new Delta cases ??

a couple of weeks ago it was 98% omicron. Delta cant compete gainst omicron because it is so infectious. That's scientific fact

There will still be some delta cases in hospital, but there wont be any new ones

Fair enough ... still feel that it was successful enough to still be getting a few people though .. there must be pockets of people the length and breadth of the country who are still passing Delta on ..

that becomes less and less likely. Omicron gives you delta immunity, so delta just doesnt have anywhere to go

That’s interesting.., I haven’t heard anything about Omicron giving immunity against Delta .. I just thought it was infecting people before Delta could so Delta was falling away ..

You need to be more careful with wording Bots, I honestly thing semi-misinformation like this actually ends up bolstering and driving the skeptics more than anuthing else.

Omicron doesn't "give you immunity" to Delta or any other strain, it does increase immunity levels overall in the community which increases herd immunity which is of course vital to ever overcoming Covid, but saying "Getting Omicrom gives you Delta immunity" is at best a massive exaggeration. It makes it far less LIKELY that you'll get any Covid strain in the short term and increases your chances of any infection being mild in the medium-to-long term. Phrasing it like this makes it sounds like it gives full immunity, which only takes a few examples of people getting it twice for the skeptics to declare it all lies.
