Politico reported last week that the CDC had to climb down about its estimate of the prevalence of Omicron in the US.
It had originally estimated prevalence of 73.2% in the US on Dec 18, but revised that down to just 22.5%.
Quite the doozy, that.
This was very amusing coming as it did with all the other messaging shifts last week:
Ditch the cloth masks for N95s;
Walensky at CDC claiming suddenly that PCR tests are unreliable;
You need only 5 days of quarantine, not ten, because, you know, Omicron is different;
Mr. I'm Going to Shut Down the Virus blurting out that there's no federal solution;
And Fauci suddenly admitting the distinction between being admitted to hospital for Covid as opposed to just with it.
