Unlike the prior 2 holiday seasons in the US, a major surge is unlikely, which is not in keeping with new, dominant variants with marked immune evasion.

However, waning of immunity, poor uptake of boosters, and lack of mitigation sets up vulnerability

@erictopol How does this take into account the very low percentage of cases being reported?
Yeah it doesn't. Everyone's sick, everyone can see it, but no one's testing anymore so we're left on our own to guess. I'm not going to assume I know what's going on everywhere, but where I live you can't get a test unless you're hospitalized, and probably not even then.
It's comparing apples and oranges and sadly Dr Topol's smart enough to know that.
