This is a slide about SARS-CoV-2 variants. We worked on this in class. What are TWO conclusions you can draw from this graphic? Keep in mind that the Omicron variant appeared after Delta. Omicron is now the most prevalent variant in the U.S. Omicron did not evolve directly from Delta. Scientists can predict what variant will become the most prevalent in the future. Because Delta has disappeared and Omicron is most common, it stands to reason that Delta simply turned into Omicron. These variants (for example 21JDelta, Omicron.BA.2.75) are all types of SARS-CoV-2 but they must differ somewhat from one another.
