At 24 hours after infection, Omicron replicated 70 times higher than the Delta variant and the original SARS-CoV-2 virus in the bronchial tissue. Interestingly, Omicron replicated less efficiently (10 times lower) in lung tissue than the original SARS-CoV-2 virus” So it grows faster in your throat, causing you to cough and spread it, but to do that focuses less on the lungs. Hopefully that is a good sign for reduced danger.

Important summary. Thanks.

My question is simply this. If you get Omnicron, since it is a variant of COVID, would that then provide you with natural immunity to other strains of COVID? I have heard of very few (1) cases where someone died from Omnicron, and yes, it sounds more like a bad cold. Maybe Omnicron is the herd immunity builder that we have been waiting for.
