I Have Omicron - UPDATE On Symptoms And The State Of Things (Hospitalizations, ICU Admission Rates)

This is a follow up video to our first video "I Have Omicron - A Doctor's Experience And Perspective" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34dQY6ij_-U&t=2s) posted the other day after we were diagnosed with COVID-19. Check that out first if you haven't caught it. In this video we are going to update you all on how we have been feeling, general thoughts on Omicron and symptom progression, as well as updated numbers for case rates, hospitalizations (including ICU admissions and patients on ventilators), and fatalities in some of the larger US cities that are farther along in their Omicron surges.

We had a significant improvement in symptoms yesterday, but then oddly developed fevers, chills, back aches, and headaches again last night into this morning. Symptoms now are primarily upper back aches, headaches, and fatigue. We aren't sure what to make about this bimodal distribution of symptoms where we had improvements yesterday and then some worsening and change in symptoms today.

In some large US cities including New York City, Boston, Washington DC, and Chicago, hospitalization rates, ICU admission rates, and patients on ventilators seems to be increasing towards previous peak levels. This is a tad surprising after South Africa had such a mild course of Omicron. We discuss these rates and why they may be different in the US as compared to other areas.
