Omicron named Variant of Concern 26 November 2021

The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2, variant B.1.1.529, was first reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) on 24 November 2021 and was classified as a variant of concern by WHO on 26 November 2021. The classification was made on the advice of the Technical Advisory Group on Virus Evolution, based primarily on information from South Africa that the variant has a large number of mutations and has caused a detrimental change in COVID-19 epidemiology, according to the WHO.

Since that time, the disease has spread to more than 90 countries. Iran was the most recent to publication time to indicate it had confirmed an Omicron infection.

Experts are urging the public across the globe to wear N95 respirators, make certain vaccinations are up to date, maintain social distancing and focus considerable effort on hand hygiene while avoiding contact with any persons outside the home. Travel is also contraindicated.

According to experts including the World Health Organization’s Doctors:

• Wear a respirator mask that covers your nose and mouth. Make sure that your hands are clean when you put on and remove your mask.
• Keep a physical distance of at least 2 meters from others.
• Avoid poorly ventilated or crowded spaces.
• Open windows to improve ventilation indoors.
• Wash your hands regularly.
• When it’s your turn, get vaccinated. WHO -approved COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective.

SARS2 Update 2024-04-25 05:35 GMT

• Global Population: 8,042,389,490
• 255 Regions reported 803,994,505 cases
• 59,519,971 cases active
• 7,220,702 people reported killed by COVID-19
• 0.95% is current Case Fatality Rate (CFR)
• 740,462,084 survived COVID-19

0.44% Global estimated inferred average Infection Fatality Rate (IFR)
(influenza is .1% or 6 per 100k (2019))

19,488,313 Total deaths (cspad.org estimated actual) including errors, unexpected deaths with pneumonia indications with no history, and unreported likely-cause excess deaths such as people who never went to a hospital but had COVID-19 indications but never tested.

See The Lancet estimate of excess mortality from COVID-19 (Download PDF) in 191 countries/territories and 252 subnational units of select countries, from 1 January 2 0 2 0, to 31 December 2 0 2 1.

USA (111,820,082)

• 181.17% of the USA may have been infected including reported + estimated unreported mild and estimated asymptomatic (606,547,714.43) persons, some of whom may not have been ill in their first course of the disease, but could have spread the disease.
• 1.11% is USA current Case Fatality Rate (CFR)&
• 0.25% is estimated inferred average Infection Fatality Rate (IFR)
• 1,516,369 estimated total COVID-19 deaths including unreported likely-cause excess deaths. According to projections of IHME, IHME calculation of excess deaths is slightly higher than what CSPaD is showing.

The American Epicenter has 0.49 % of global 'active' cases (786,167 USA / 161,246,054 Global), people infected with COVID-19 now.

Below: CSPAD estimated 2024-04-25 05:35 GMT COVID-19 data for India.

EPICENTER-2: India (45,035,393)

Reported	*Cases	*Deaths	*CFR	*Recovered
India	45,035,393	533,570	1.2%	0

*Reported by India but understated.

Note: India's reported death sum and cured data are widely seen among epidemiologists and biostatisticians as unreliable. For example, 3,094,653 is CSPAD estimated sum of deaths while India reports 533,570, creating the largest discepency in the world. India might only report hospital tested cases. Sources among hundreds of nurses and other medical practitioners provide a picture that in summary concludes most cases never present in a hospital especially in northern provinces where health care is less available and utilization is low anyway because of poverty, hence most people die at home in India. This theory could explain discrepancies between reported data and algorithmic estimates.

Locale	Cases	Deaths	Active
India reported:	45,035,393	533,570	44,501,823
India estimates:	249,045,723	3,094,653	245,951,070
