CDC Slashes Omicron Estimate: Only 22% Of Cases — Not 73%

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Tuesday sharply revised its estimate of omicron infections in the United States.

While the omicron variant has plagued the Biden administration with chaos, the CDC has revised their estimates of exactly how many coronavirus infections are due to the variant.

The CDC guessed the omicron variant accounted for 73 percent of all cases during the week ending December 18. On Tuesday, the number for that week was reduced to 22.5 percent, a massive reduction from 73 percent two weeks ago.

The CDC surmised 59 percent of all infections during the week ending December 25 were due to omicron.
