New Yorkers have found their daily routines disrupted once more as a surge of cases due to the new Omicron variant could not be ignored during the holiday season. As the city broke its previous single-day COVID case record, residents have been lining up at testing sites, with queues that wrap around city blocks in many places. Some restaurants have closed, and performances on and off Broadway have been canceled as staff test positive. "We're going to have a challenging few weeks, but the good news is based on everything our healthcare leadership understands at this moment, we are talking about a matter of weeks," Mayor de Blasio said on Monday. "We're going to see a really fast upsurge in cases. We're going to see a lot of New Yorkers affected by Omicron." Todos Medical Ltd. (OTC: TOMDF), Merck & Co., Inc. (NYSE: MRK), Pfizer Inc.

In the meantime, pharmaceutical companies are working to understand just how effective their vaccines are against the Omicron variant. For instance, according to a report by USA Today, Moderna's vaccine data does suggests a third booster dose will be effective against Omicron. In addition, a study that was released earlier this month by Pfizer and their partner BioNTech showed that a third dose of their vaccine boosted neutralizing antibodies against Omicron more than 25-fold, which should be protective, Topol said, though real-world studies are needed to prove it.
