Omicron Spreads Global Fear. Is It Too Soon To Panic?

The emergence of the coronavirus variant Omicron has the world worried.

Dr. Amesh Adalja, an infectious disease specialist at Johns Hopkins University, discusses what is known and not known about the Omicron strain, how viruses mutate, and what can be done worldwide to address new variants.
