NPR and The Atlantic magazine recently interviewed Dr. Lauren Ancel Meyers, LCID Affiliate Member and Director of the UT COVID-19 Modeling Consortium, regarding possible outcomes of the Omicron COVID-19 variant in the United States. Dr. Meyers specifically discussed with both media outlets the different scenarios the Consortium has compiled on the impact the Omicron variant could have.
While some of the Consortium’s projections predict possible worst-case scenarios, other projections look at more optimistic outcomes. Dr. Meyers stressed the importance of being prepared to make changes in policy and behavior if hospitalizations start to increase in the United States due to the Omicron variant.
