@nimmy Typically when an atypical case in a patient (of Covid-19) is observed, the samples are sent for sequencing, just to see why it is behaving differently. It could be that the patient reacted very severely, there is a sudden spike in cases, or the patient may have some other illness and the symptoms are showing slightly different. One such variant that has been identified as Omicron. Theoretically vaccines in India like Covaxin and Covishield will be quite effective against omicron variant as well. In case of double vaccinated people, cases of serious infections and mortality should be low. In populations that are unvaccinated, there are chances that mortality might be high but based on what we know about Omicron, it only seems to be causing mild infections, so the chances of it (being as deadly as second wave) really are 50-50 in unvaccinated.
