precautions they re telling you to do, you ll be okay. reporter:, katy omicron is so widespread spreading so quickly, doctors say if you re in a crowded place, you should pretty much predict omicron is there with you, too, but it s going to cost you more to travel. car rendals are up 20%, hotels up 36%. there is some good news. gas prices are down ten cents from just two months ago. so we have these new pills. there is obviously the vaccines. what we re seeing in south africa, though, is this spike in omicron went up really, really high, and coming down really, really fast. dr. hilton, can we expect to see that here in a month or two? well, compares ourselves to south africa, you have to realize they had about 70% zero
