If you watch the youtube video, he says it's incalculable.

oops I heard it wrong. He says the r value is so high it would be impossible to contain even with a "lockdown"*

*I don't know what that means anymore.

Good news! if omicron is as bad as it looks, it will rip through the world in a matter of months, kill tens of millions, and die out just as fast! It's like ripping off a bandaid

That will give the survivors a little breather before the Pi variant

Absolutely.

Tom Peacock noted the cluster and filed for a designation on the PANGO Github. Zantie posted about it in this thread within the day, before that designation was granted.

Individual scientists here and there and maybe a few people to whom they report learned of it at this stage, but it didn�t hit the desk of any policymaker or mass media outlet till a half day after it hit the thread.

If you're in the Seattle area I suggest Smart Foodservice (formally Cash & Carry). It's a restaurant supply store that's open to the public.
