Omicron changed this pandemic...(extreme) high spread BA.2 30% higher then BA.1 ...BA.2.2 would spread even 45% more then BA.1...A very likely next step could be increase in viral loads...the "drive" in the virus is to create as many virusses as it can...(step 1=high infection, step 2=increasing viral load) ....resulting in more severe disease...
