The major difference that scientists have been finding with omicron is the virus is attaching itself to the bronchial passages, where as in the case or Covid 19, alpha wild type and Delta, the virus attached itself to the lung tissue causing types of pneumonia, drowning.
It would also make sense why this variants transmission rate is so high. With all that viral load being caught in the bronchial passage and dispelled so easily. Maybe?
The researchers found that Omicron SARS-CoV-2 infects and multiplies 70 times faster than the Delta variant and original SARS-CoV-2 in human bronchus, which may explain why Omicron may transmit faster between humans than previous variants. Their study also showed that the Omicron infection in the lung is significantly lower than the original SARS-CoV-2, which may be an indicator of lower disease severity. This research is currently under peer review for publication.}

If any of the study’s we’ve seen are true, we would be very luck to have this.
