Incorrect

(A) Daily cases during the period of the prospective study of Omicron-infected patients Bracket marks the period when cases were studied. Genomic sequencing of 1 out of 3 patients during this time period revealed 99.2% of cases were the Omicron BA1 variant. (B) Percentage of Delta and Omicron-infected patients who had the reported symptoms associated with their infection. ** p < 0.001 (see Table 1 for statistical analysis). (C) Percentage of Delta and Omicron-infected patients who received each treatment * p = 0.039 − 0.009. ** p =  < 0.001 (See Table 1 for statistical analysis). (D) Rothman index scores on admission and at the time of death for Omicron and Delta-infected patients who died in the hospital. Bracket marks the statistically significant difference in admission Rothman Index scores, Delta scores being higher (better overall health) than Omicron cases, Mean ± SD 58.2 ± 26.9 n = 8 vs. 34.8 ± 23.0 n = 34. *p = 0.0158.
