A more transmissible virus will outcompete its rivals for host bodies to infect because it can get to them more quickly. Omicron will be pretty much the only show in town before long. We’re finding it by the dozen this week because we’re looking for it but you can bet it is already far more prevalent than stats suggest, and I suspect it’s been here a little longer than we think too.
