Omicron came from arithmetic.
Cases of the Omicron variant are surging in New York City with 31,024 new cases reported Saturday and the daily average approaching 20,000.
I asked retired epidemiologist Jim Setzer to come on the pod and go over some basics:
-Where did Omicron come from?
-Best practices to stop transmission.
-Where to buy N95 and KN95 masks. The New York Times recommends using WellBefore.
-Where we are headed.
-The best way to use home rapid tests.
-The infection window of Omicron.
Bonus: Where did Omicron come from and what should we do now?
