delta. that is because it is spreading so fast. it is doubling every two or three days. that is faster than any previous variant. so, that means we could be heading for 100,000, so, that means we could be heading for100,000, maybe 200,000 so, that means we could be heading for 100,000, maybe 200,000 cases a day by the end of the month, may be sooner. and if that keeps on doubling, at some point that curve will start to bend. we have had one death confirmed. obviously that is a tragedy for the family involved, but it tells us very little useful about the level of threat we face from omicron. but even if it is generally a milder illness than we get from delta, because so many people have got some level of immunity, if we get a massive spike in cases, it still will result, potentially, in a lot of people in hospital. but we won't have the full detail on that threat for a few weeks, which is why the booster programme is so important, because it will give protection against infection and should give a very strong protection
